Idly Steamers
Chennai Style Commercial Aluminum Idly Steamer - 6 Non Stick Trays -54 Idlis
#Idly-54-N-NS
Our commercial idli steamers are designed for Indian restaurants, South Indian tiffin centers, catering operations, and temple kitchens that need to produce large batches of soft, fluffy idlis during peak breakfast and snack service. Each steamer is made from heavy-duty aluminum, requires no electricity, and works on any stove or burner. Just fill the base with water, load your trays, and the steam does the rest.
Steamer Sizes
We carry idli steamers in multiple capacities to match your kitchen's volume. The 54 idli steamer with 6 non-stick trays is a good fit for smaller operations and catering setups. The 60 idli steamer with 5 trays is our standard model for most restaurant kitchens. For high-volume operations, we carry two 108 idli steamers: a 9-tray model and a Chennai-style 12-tray model with non-stick trays. All steamers are portable with side handles, making them easy to move between kitchen and catering locations.
Replacement Trays and Specialty Trays
During busy service, extra trays let you keep rotating batches without waiting for a full cycle to finish. Browse our full idli tray collection for replacement and specialty options. We carry regular 3-inch idli trays, mini dollar idli trays for podi idli and masala fry idli, large thatte idli trays, and diamond-shaped trays that double as khaman dhokla trays. We also stock combi oven compatible idli trays that work with Rational, UNOX, Alto-Shaam, and Convotherm ovens for kitchens that want to steam idlis at even higher volumes.
More Than Just Idlis
These steamers are not limited to idlis alone. With optional rectangle trays, you can use the same steamer box to make khaman dhokla, and the steaming setup works for momos, modak, and steamed vegetables as well. That versatility makes an idli steamer one of the most useful pieces of equipment in any Indian commercial kitchen.
