A steam peeling system has a rotatable pressure vessel ( 1 ) for steam treating and peeling product. The vessel is substantially spherical, having an oblong configuration with opposed flattened side surfaces. The pressure vessel has at least one internal lifter ( 51 a, 51 b, 51 c) for entraining and lifting the product relative to the axis of rotation of the pressure vessel ( 1 ) when it is rotated. The pressure vessel also at least one internal region ( 53 ) that is closed-off against ingress of steam during product treatment. This region ( 53 ) defines a steam saver. The system can include a batcher for delivering the product to be peeled to the vessel. The pressure in the vessel can be released on completion of a peeling operation. Arrangements can be included to minimize release of entrained solid matter or odors in the exhaust steam. A controller minimizes unproductive displacement of the pressure vessel and can control the rotation speed and direction.
