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."
