ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a food steamer having a food tray with a stepped sidewall to provide a subjacent section of lesser cross-sectional area than its upper section. An internal cover is received within the upper section of the food tray and it is slidably received against the interior sidewalls of the upper section permitting adjustment of its level in the upper section whereby the volume of the food compartment beneath the internal cover can be fixedly adjusted. The steaming vessel also has an exterior cover that has a top plate with a peripheral downwardly dependent side walls which are received within the open upper edges of the food tray. In the preferred embodiment, the slidably adjustable internal cover is formed with an outer rigid frame to which is removably attached to a plastic or aluminum film permitting replacement and disposal of the film after use. The bottom wall of the food tray has a central, raised island which serves as a steam collector to receive steam from the subjacent steam generation chamber and distributor to discharge the steam into the food steaming compartment. The lower section of the food tray can be received in a conventional electric frying pan and suspended therein with its bottom wall located above the heating surface of the frying pan.
