The Market Forge ALTAIR II-6 electric countertop steamer operates by using preheated water from its reservoir system, eliminating the need for an external boiler. External heating elements are used to heat the water, which turns into steam, and the steaming process quickly cooks food without sacrificing color, flavor, and nutrients. With three steam modes to choose from—soft poaching, traditional steaming, and high-heat steaming—results are consistent. It can also be set to custom specifications for certain recipes, with a maximum temperature of 230 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Market Forge ALTAIR II-6 electric steamer has a stainless steel exterior that resists corrosion and is heavy duty for high-volume use. To ease cleaning, the anodized aluminum internal compartment has a nonstick finish, and this compartment can hold six 12-inch by 20-inch by 2.5-inch pans. Inside the steaming cavity, a convection fan moves steam around, evenly cooking all food.
