Groen HY-10SG-36 HyPlus Convection Steamer - Cabinet, Pressureless, Natural Gas

Vegetables, rice and seafood come out of the HY-10SG-36 in the pans they went in on, five 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in pans to a cavity. Groen heats it with gas, which puts the running cost on the meter rather than on the electrical service. That is ten across the two cavities.

A boiler sits in the cabinet feeding both cavities, which stay pressureless, so steam is on tap rather than raised from cold for each batch. The rating is 200,000 BTU/hr, equivalent to 3.7 boiler horsepower. A blower is mounted at the side of each cavity to keep the steam moving over the pans.

The build is all stainless, cavity and cabinet alike, and the side panels are removable. The door is air-insulated and field-reversible, and its seal is a one-piece part that is replaced rather than repaired. A magnetic door switch cuts the heat as the door swings, and there is nothing protruding for a pan to catch on. Polished stainless steel lines the cavity. Timers are separate per cavity, each with a constant steam position, so one side can hold while the other cooks.

It is cabinet mounted, with the steam source in the base under the cavities. Electrically it is 115 V single phase. Water quality is the one thing that decides how often it is descaled, whatever the schedule says.
