Food steamers have been used for centuries. The ancient Chinese used pottery steamers to cook food, which date back to 5000 BC. Earthen, bamboo, and stainless steel materials were mostly used for food steaming. In India, steamers are mostly used in the north-eastern and southern parts. Earlier, people used to steam rice, fish, momos, and vegetables. With the recent changes in lifestyle and health, more and more people from other parts of India are turning to electric food steamers. People are using different techniques, including steaming. Food steamers are so advanced that there have been hardly any changes in terms of form and function.
