Abstract
A food steaming device includes a water container, a heater, a liquid collecting unit, and a steaming tray. The water container has a first bottom wall and a surrounding wall that cooperate to define a chamber. The first bottom wall has a heat conductive hollow protrusion. The heater is provided removably below the water container, and has a heating element projecting into and connected thermally to the hollow protrusion. The liquid collecting unit is mounted on the water container, and has a second bottom wall covering the chamber and a blocking ring surrounding a steam supply hole and projecting upwardly from the second bottom wall. The steaming tray is mounted on the liquid collecting unit, and is adapted to receive food. A lid covers the steaming tray.
