Motts,
Have you ever thought of wearing snow shoes in the interiors? Big , long feet might give you more security to venture without poking through fragile floors!!! I think your images are amazing ---- you have my loudest, and most quiet applause........

Neither. I had a dream about mushy stairs last night and a collapsing porch.
Hey gdammann-

Thanks for you kind words, I was a chef in my former life. This steamer is defiantly a heavy-duty commercial model. In answer to your question; All of the cooking chambers can cook pretty much the same. Usually, kitchen staffers will use the different chambers for preparing different types of food. For example, steaming potatoes for mashed potatoes take considerably longer than steaming green beans.

And yes, there is a fair amount of pressure. The doors actually have a kind of countersink mechanism that helps release some of the pressure that builds up. So when you open the door, you don't get knocked on your ass by the force of the steam. The real danger is the dreaded STEAM BURN that hurts a hell of a lot more than a burn from fire or metal. Unlike a traditional burn that will only affect the area that your have the bad luck to run into, steam is a gas and it goes EVERYWHERE. Like in between your fingers and under your fingernails (gross but true!).
