Sterling Steamers offers a boiler-based unit for the lower maintenance cost. Your staff can handle it easily, thanks to our easy-access panel, which includes convenient ports, controls, and indicator lights. That way staff can quickly descale generators without special tools, ladders, or the need to pre-mix chemicals.

These are serious problems faced by facility managers and chefs across the country. They’re also the exact problems we designed the Sterling Summit Steamer to solve. When you install the Sterling Summit in your kitchen, you get the high-volume output of a generator-based system, without the operational headache of traditional units.

Engineered for the Modern Commercial Kitchen
By combining high-speed production with the most efficient Energy Star rating ever tested, the Sterling Summit pays for itself through utility savings and reduced service overhead. You get the speed you need to handle today’s dinner rush, and the efficiency to lower tomorrow’s utility bills.
Powerful 36kW heating element delivers true boiler-based performance for heavy batch cooking and instant recovery. It keeps up with high-volume demand where standard Energy Star units fall behind.
The generator is fully accessible from the front. If maintenance is required, the unit is swapped without removing the machine from your facility, turning a multi-day ordeal into a standard service visit.
Daily maintenance shouldn’t require a service call. The descaling port is located directly on the front of the unit with clear instructions, allowing kitchen staff to handle routine cleaning easily.
The Sterling Summit idles at just 172 Watts and uses just over 5 gallons of water per hour. This efficiency translates to massive utility savings—documented at over $7,000 annually compared to baseline models.
Every unit comes with a water filtration system included standard. There is no complex plumbing to figure out and no expensive third-party filter contracts required, saving you up to $1000 annually.
Steam is directed evenly over each pan through a specialized delivery system, ensuring consistent cooking results for proteins, vegetables, and seafood without hot spots or uneven heating.
