A good food steamer cooks siomai, veggies, fish, and puto in healthy steam. No oil, no hovering over a pot. Here’s how the most popular steamers on Shopee Philippines compare, with a clear pick for every budget, family size, and even a siomai stall.
Capacity, tiers, and wattage
We compared capacity (in liters and tiers), wattage, build, brand track record, real owner ratings, and price across the best-selling food steamers on Shopee Philippines. We judged each on the job Pinoy kitchens actually ask of it: steaming siomai and siopao, fish and gulay, boiling eggs for breakfast, or making baby food. Still weighing sizes and types? Start with our food steamer buying guide.
Will it steam a full family meal at once?
Capacity and tiers come first. A 1–2 tier, 4–9L unit suits a family of 3–5; a 26–40L multi-tier machine is built for a siomai or siopao business. Wattage sets how fast it heats: 400W is fine for a small steamer, but 800–900W boils water quicker for big loads. Material matters too: stainless steel tiers last longer and don’t stain or warp like plastic, though they cost more. Type is the big fork: an electric steamer has a timer and shuts off on its own, while a stovetop stainless steamer is the cheapest and needs no outlet, but you watch the water yourself. Extras like a timer, keep-warm, and egg racks add convenience. One honest note: some listings bundle a rice cooker or a baby-food blender, so match the unit to what you’ll really use.
Which steamer suits your kitchen
The Asahi FS 036 9L wins Best Overall, a trusted brand, a perfect 5.0 rating, and a roomy 9L multi-tier body for around ₱2,549. Watching the budget? The Kaisa Villa 3-layer stainless steamer is our Best Budget at around ₱348: 10K+ sold, no electricity needed, just set it on your stove. For the splurge, the Haier 3-tier stainless steamer takes Best Premium with a smart timer and a large-capacity stainless build.
Running a food stall? The Tixx Electric Steamer for Siomai Business is our Best for Siomai Business pick with 10K+ sold, and the Astron FS85 3-layer 8.5L is our Best 3-Tier Family Steamer at 900W. Everyday value goes to the Astron FS48 2-layer (our Best Value at around ₱899), while the Bear portable egg boiler and steamer is our Best Compact for dorms and small kitchens.
Cooking for a baby? The Dr.isla baby food processor and steamer wins Best Baby Food Maker. It steams and blends in one. And for quick breakfasts, the Tough Mama 2-in-1 egg boiler and steamer takes Best Egg Boiler, cooking up to 7 eggs at 600W.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which food steamer is best for a siomai business?
For selling siomai and siopao, go big and electric: a 26L–40L multi-tier machine like the Tixx (for Siomai Business), Hodekt 26L, or Kanazawa 32L holds several trays at once and keeps them warm. Look for at least 800W so the water boils fast between batches, plus thick or stainless tiers that survive daily use. Small 4–9L home steamers just can't keep up with stall volume.
Electric steamer or stovetop steamer, which should I buy?
An electric steamer plugs in, runs on a timer, and shuts off on its own, so you can walk away, best for busy homes and businesses. A stovetop stainless steamer like the Kaisa Villa is cheaper (around ₱348), needs no outlet, and lasts for years, but you have to watch the water level yourself. If you steam often or in bulk, electric is worth it; for the occasional puto or veggies, stovetop is sulit.
How much electricity does a food steamer use?
Most home steamers draw 400W–900W and only run 15–40 minutes per batch, so they cost little per use and are gentle on your Meralco bill, much cheaper than heating a full oven. Bigger siomai-business steamers pull more power (800W+) but still cook fast because steam heats quickly. Switching it off once the timer ends keeps the bill down.
Can I steam siopao and siomai at the same time?
Yes. A multi-tier steamer lets you stack siomai on one layer and siopao on another and cook them together. Just leave space between pieces so steam can circulate, and line each tier with paper or lettuce so nothing sticks. A 3-tier 8.5L unit like the Astron FS85 handles a big family batch in one go.
What else can I cook in a food steamer besides siomai?
Plenty: fish, chicken, vegetables, puto, siopao, hard-boiled eggs, and even reheated rice or leftover ulam all steam well. Steaming keeps food moist without oil, so it's a healthier everyday way to cook. Baby-food models like the Dr.isla and Hodekt even steam and then blend fruit and veggies into puree.
