A food steamer or steam cooker is a small kitchen appliance used to cook or prepare various foods with steam heat by means of holding the food in a sealed vessel that limits the escape of air or liquids below a preset pressure. This manner of cooking is called steaming. == History ==
Food steamers have been used for centuries. The ancient Chinese used pottery steamers to cook food. Archaeological excavations have uncovered pottery cooking vessels known as ''yan'' steamers; a ''yan'' composed of two vessel, a ''zeng'' with perforated floor surmounted on a pot or caldron with a tripod base and a top cover. The earliest ''yan'' steamer dating from about 5000 BC was unearthed in the Banpo site.〔Chen, Cheng-Yih (1995). ''Early Chinese Work in Natural Science''. Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press. p. 198. ISBN 962-209-385-X.〕 In the lower Yangzi River, ''zeng'' pots first appeared in the Hemudu culture (5000–4500 BC) and Liangzhu culture (3200–2000 BC) and used to steam rice; there are also ''yan'' steamers unearthed in several Liangzhu sites, including 3 found at the Chuodun and Luodun sites in southern Jiangsu.〔Cheng, Shihua.
