Okay to steam in this? (Can't see why not...)

The BDF500XL Smart Fryer is not designed for steaming and it is not recommended that steaming is tried.

I would not use this item to steam clothing. Although I suppose it is possible, I had not really thought about it. You would need a wider attachment than is included. It is really made for cleaning.

You can sit it on a table with no problem, I'm sure. The hose is heavily corrugated, but you would probably want to use gloves holding the hose. It produces a steady, thin stream of steam, however I have no idea how it would work steaming hats.

I'm not sure. The stuff I bought works very well but was designed for it. My friend had one that used diesel so my guess is that yes, probably need an oil based product, if water based you would make steam...right?

I don't know. I've never tried to steam dim-sums. I'll have to give it a go.

you can't use essential oil in this steamer...this is just a plain one...you will ruin it if you do...

Yes, it can. Just be cautious that the steam doesn't hit your fingers when you pick it up.

I think I see where he's coming from - this would allow steaming different foods simultaneously and add to the available space for foods. I'm pretty new at this steaming but I've not herd of any such slotted piece. Chek with a metal worker to fabricate one.

I would think so but you cannot regulate the heat or temperature. It'll pump bout good 90 minutes of solid steam

i dont, but Im sure you could. this thing pumps out steam. The attachments fall apart quickly.(brushes etc)

I'd suggest looking elsewhere. This one might not be strong enough for you. And, it may just be me, but this steamer broke down already. I didn't even use it so much (though someone did borrow it for a while).

Yes you can! I never regretted purchase of this steamer . The red button on the handle once you press it, it lets out steam.

I have never tried to steam with it, just watch the temperature, make sure you don't set it too hight. Make sure the heating element is submerged in the water at all time, so that the element dose not burn out. Don't let the water steam away and expose the element. (It works great with a Turkey)

Yes, but probably best if it's a simmer method. You'd do this without the wood/ceramic steamer unit -- just use the pot and lid.

No, Brent. I just used it today to steam artichokes, and it shut down after 90minutes. If you're willing to watch it snd re-set it after it shuts down, then it should be okay for you.

I have a moderate amount of steam coming from mine at it seems to be working... I've never had one before so I haven't got anything to compare it with. I can only say it seems to do the job intended. hope this helps.
