Anyone that has managed a busy restaurant, seafood shack, or even a kitchen at home, will understand how frustrating it is when your steamer is the one slowing down the pace. It takes forever to warm up, stops functioning during the rush, and to top things off it ends up cooking your food unevenly! Not to mention the ones that waste water like there's no tomorrow or are so high maintenance that you have to keep an eye on them all the time to make sure they don't burn out.
The reason behind creating the HAI ZHENG XIAN 328 Plane was to get rid of all the problems from your old steamer .Made with raw power and simplicity in mind, it is a robust commercial steamer that will not only get rid of your headaches but also make your kitchen run like clockwork, right from morning prep until the service finishes late at night. No, this isn’t those flimsy gadgets for home-use; it’s a powerhouse, made in Guangdong, China, that’s up for any challenge you throw at it, whether steaming 50 orders of shrimp or a family feast of 10.
During our trial of this machine at a seafood restaurant, the 328 Plane amazed us with its performance during peak hours. In comparison with their old steamer, the new one cut preparation time by as much as 40% — the orders that need 8 minutes were steamed in less than 5, because of the little 15-second steam start and customizable 2.5KW power. The kitchen employees were also impressed with the touch controls — no more sticky, hard-to-clean knobs coated with grease and food residues.
By the way, the 15-second steam start is a huge plus for busy brunch spots or lunch rushes. Really, it’s a complete disrupter. No more waiting for over 10 minutes for the steamer to be ready. You can switch the 328 Plane on right at the arrival of the first customer and have your steamed buns or dumplings ready in a flash — it’s this kind of speed that keeps the lines moving and brings smiles to the customers.
Moreover, it’s capable of doing much more than just steaming fish and shellfish because it’s a multifunctional steamer. You can steam greens, rice, soups, or even slow-cook meat with it. The power level is adjustable, which means that you can use high-heat bursts when you want to quickly flash-cook items or low, steady heat when you need it for delicate recipes — ideal for professional kitchens and experimenting home cooks alike.
Some owners of places where this steamer serves have even told us that it operates almost 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, for more than a year, and it still keeps going without any major issues. The use of an automatic water-pumping system guarantees the consistency of steam even during long hours of service so that you do not need to check the water level every 10 minutes. You just put it on and let it run.
Home cooks are lucky that the same long-lasting performance of the steamer also means that you don’t need to treat your steamer like a baby. It can easily withstand everything from weekly family dinner to holiday feasts without breaking down or causing you to need a service all of the time. And since it’s easy to clean (just wipe down the stainless steel exterior and rinse the baskets), you can finish up in minutes instead of hours.
The HAI ZHENG XIAN 328 Plane is exactly what a kitchen workhorse that matches your work ethic looks like. So, if you are sick and tired of steamers failing you in the middle of a service, or if only this is the kitchen workhorse that works as hard as you do that you want, then this is the upgrade that you have been holding out for.
