Cleveland 21CET16 5-Pan Steamcraft Convection Steamer - Countertop, 240V 3-Phase
The Cleveland 21CET16 is a 5-pan commercial countertop convection steamer designed for 240v/3ph electric operation in high-volume institutional and commercial kitchens. Capable of cooking up to 5 full-size hotel pans simultaneously, the 21CET16 delivers precise, consistent steam cooking for vegetables, proteins, rice, pasta, and prepared foods across restaurants, cafeterias, healthcare kitchens, and commercial food production facilities that require fast, nutrient-preserving cooking at volume. The Cleveland Steamcraft series is engineered for durability, ease of use, and consistent steam saturation that produces evenly cooked food across every pan level.
The 21CET16 uses a direct-injection electric boiler — no external steam connection needed to produce pure steam that circulates uniformly through the cooking chamber for even cooking across all pan positions from top to bottom. The convection steam cooking method cooks food faster than conventional wet heat while preserving natural colors, textures, vitamins, and minerals — making it the preferred cooking method for high-volume vegetable, protein, and grain production in nutrition-sensitive foodservice environments. The stainless steel cooking chamber is easy to clean and resists corrosion throughout years of continuous daily use.
The countertop design fits on standard commercial equipment counters, undercounter refrigeration, or equipment stands, allowing flexible placement in tight kitchen layouts without requiring dedicated floor space. The hinged door provides full access to all pan levels for fast loading and unloading, and the compact footprint makes this steamer an efficient addition to any commercial kitchen preparation area. The 240V/3Ph Electric connection provides a self-contained steam source without requiring the facility to have a central steam boiler.
