ABSTRACT:
A food steamer utensil which comprises separable and self-contained steam generator and food cooking vessels each having their respective cover portions and base portions to define therebetween, a chamber. The vessels, when operatively connected, are fastened together by latching means and are disposed in side-by-side relationship. Steam is formed in the steam generator vessel by a heater immersed in water and the steam is conducted into the food cooking vessel where it contacts food to cook same in food receptacles. The steam enters the food cooking vessel as a jet stream and substantially uniformly disperses itself along the horizontal cross sectional area of the vessel, and in passing through a food receptacle which has perforations throughout the entire surface area of the receptacle effectively contacts all the food on the food receptacle. The base portion of the food cooking vessel constitutes a condensate collection receptacle which is used to collect the steam condensate and drippings resulting from the contact of the steam with the food. Electrical components for the food steamer utensil are contained within the steam generator vessel to obviate the location of any of such components in the food cooking vessel.
