Food steamer

摘要

The base (12) has a circular heating tube to which water is supplied from a supply tank (18). A timer control knob (16) controls the flow of water from supply tank to a reservoir. The steam generated in the heating tube is directed upwards from the base unit to a steaming tray (20). The steaming tray rests on the base via a drip tray (19). A steam cap (44) which is in fluid communication with the heating tube is disposed on the top of the base. A spring biased check valve (37) prevents leakage, when supply tank is removed from base for filling.
