Dave Hulme, owner of the Pine Club, says this about the significance of his Vulcan Steamer, "This is an ideal product for us because we've added many steamed fresh vegetables to the menu. We have a rotating fresh vegetable every night along with house specialties such as creamed spinach, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus with hollandaise...there aren't four minutes that go by that we don't use that steamer. Reliability is of the utmost importance and I have not had one single hiccup-nothing but great success."
This gas broiler convection steamer is the Vulcan Hart VHX24G, which sits on a 28 inch high base cabinet. It runs on natural or propane gas and comes with a ¾ inch rear gas connection and a gas pressure regulator. It requires a 120 volt, 1 phase dedicated outlet for the controls and also a 6 inch rear clearance from combustible materials. This food steamer is 24 inches in width, 35 2/5 inches in depth, and 66 3/10 inches in height. It has two stainless steel cooking compartments with coved interior corners and each compartment features a 1 ¼ inch drain for easy cleaning. The exterior of this gas steamer is made of stainless steel and so are the sides, rear, six inch adjustable legs, and flanged feet. There are heavy-duty stainless steel “slammable” doors that can be opened and closed throughout the steaming cycle, but the steam shuts off when the doors are opened.
Vulcan Hart’s gas convection steamer has a 270,000 BTU per hour high efficiency steam broiler with an electronic ignition. It comes with a CSD-1 compliant high pressure limit switch, a low water cut off, automatic water fill, automatic generator blow down, a 15 psi pressure relief valve and a 15 psi kettle connection. The controls for the compartments in this commercial steamer include a 60 minute dial timer with a buzzer, a green “ready” light, and a red “cooking” light.

It is CSA and ASME approved and backed by a one year limited warranty on parts and labor. Be sure that the stainless steel is wiped down regularly with a non-chloride cleaner and a soft cloth to help prevent rust and pitting.
