Abstract
An electric steamer for simultaneously steaming a frankfurter and warming an accompanying frankfurter bun is disclosed herein. The steamer includes a base portion having an electric heater and a reservoir adapted to receive a small amount of water for steaming the frankfurter and steam-warming the frankfurter bun. A perforated support rack is positioned over the reservoir for supporting the frankfurter, a sausage, or the like above the water. A bun-supporting cover is removably mountable over the reservoir to define a steaming chamber. The cover has a top wall provided with a plurality of steam vents whereby the steam which cooks the frankfurter escapes through the steam vents and warms and softens the frankfurter bun supported on the upper surface of the cover.
