Steaming vegetables preserved food value and flavor. This dual chamber, copper-bottomed steel cooker was common stovetop equipment for wood-fueled cookstoves or gas ranges. The lower vessel has a steam vent hole near the bottom to release steam from the square spout. Inside, water vapor rose into the upper chamber by way of a chimney tube.
