In modern foodservice design, the demand for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability is at an all-time high. For FCSI consultants seeking a smarter way to integrate steam into the kitchen, the Evolution™ Boilerless Steamer from AccuTemp Products Inc. delivers unmatched performance — with fewer connections, reduced maintenance, and lower operating costs.
This versatile, EPA 202-compliant unit is engineered to operate ventlessly and without the need for a drain line, eliminating two of the most common barriers to steam equipment integration. Whether you’re designing for a new build, a renovation, or a hood-restricted environment, the Evolution gives you the flexibility to spec steam where it’s never been possible before.
“We created a connectionless market for steamers in the industry,” says John Pennington, vice president and corporate chef at AccuTemp. “Because the Evolution Steamer offers both connection and connectionless operation, there is no longer a need to replace boilerless units.”
A versatile and sustainable steaming solution
Unlike traditional steamers that require both a water hookup and a drain, the Evolution™ Boilerless Steamer operates using a self-contained water reservoir with built-in water filtration. This eliminates the need for external filtration systems or hard plumbing and makes installation remarkably simple—even in retrofits or mobile kitchens.
“This means no additional water filtration or treatment is required,” Pennington explains. “And it can handle hard water, so there is no water quality exclusion in the warranty.”
It also doubles as a holding cabinet, giving operators added flexibility and equipment consolidation. The Evolution uses Steam Vector Technology™ (SVT), a patented, fan-less convection system that evenly distributes steam without moving parts—meaning less maintenance, fewer breakdowns, and consistent cooking across all pans.
Efficiency without compromise
Despite its compact footprint, the Evolution is no lightweight when it comes to performance. The unit can cook as fast as a boiler-based steamer while consuming less than one gallon of water per hour—a stark contrast to traditional steamers that can use up to 40 gallons in the same time frame.
Certified by ENERGY STAR®, the Evolution is available in electric, natural gas, and propane models, with six-pan capacity options or stackable configurations for up to 12 pans. With fast startup times, intuitive digital controls, and no moving parts, it supports high-volume operations while dramatically cutting energy and water waste.
Designed for simplicity and sustainability
For consultants, specifying the Evolution means fewer design constraints, less equipment downtime, and long-term ROI. And because it’s EPA 202 compliant, the Evolution can be installed without a ventilation hood—freeing up line space and expanding your design possibilities in ventless or unconventional kitchen layouts.
Its thoughtful design, paired with the backing of AccuTemp’s Lifetime Service and Support Guarantee, makes the Evolution a future-ready solution for K–12, healthcare, B&I, C&U, and fast-casual operations alike.
