The Amana Commercial AMSO Steamer Oven

THE BETTER WAY TO STEAM

Performance and cost savings are the big attractions here. Amana AMSO ovens provide on-demand steaming four times faster than traditional steamers and they are helping operators save significant money on the purchase, installation, cleaning, maintenance, and service costs. There is no need for plumbing, de-scaling, and ventilation.

 Available in 2200 and 3500 watts, the Amana Commercial AMSO steamer oven brings power and convenience for batch cooking and nutrient retention for healthcare facilities, schools, institutions, commissaries, stadiums, supermarkets, and restaurants. With these ovens, you can cook full pans of rice, vegetables, fish, and many more items without needing a waterline or hood. 

 Amana Commercial offers a complete line of steam-capable microwave ovens in various footprints, cavity capacities, and power options.

How does microwave steaming help preserve the nutritional value of food?

The answer is simple. Nutrients in food degrade with more prolonged exposure to heat. Excessive water can also cause nutrients to ‘leach out’, reducing nutritional value. When steaming in a microwave, cook times are significantly reduced and often require little to no water added for steam to occur. That’s because microwaves cause the water molecules held within food to heat up and generate their own steam.

 What’s on the menu?

Amana Commercial Microwaves can cook vegetables, seafood, shellfish, wraps, burritos, and potatoes. Operators can also cook rice, pasta, and couscous in a fraction of the time.

So, let’s break it down. How does AMSO simplify steaming?

  • AMSO is 4x faster than traditional steamers. Fast steaming retains food quality and nutrition. Seafood and proteins are tender and thoroughly cooked, never chewy or rubbery. Vegetables are crisp and colorful, never limp or soggy.
  • AMSO ovens accept two full-size amber pans stacked to increase throughput while saving valuable counter space. 
  • Operation is easy and safe. Ergonomic door design allows for easy removal of pans.
  • AMSO ovens run on less than $1 of energy per day*! No plumbing or vent hood is needed!
  • Low maintenance saves operators thousands of dollars annually on energy, plumbing, and ventilation!
  • AMSO Ovens feature simple Programming and accept standard USB flash drives.

*Dependent on frequency of use and energy costs.
