The invention discloses a food heater. The food heater comprises a box body with a heating
assembly, and a box door is arranged on the outer surface of the box body. The food heater further comprises an inner container which is sealed by the box door and used for heating food, a steam
recovery device and a
control circuit, wherein a door lock is arranged between the box door and the inner container, and transnormal
steam pressure in the heating box body can be borne by the door lock; the heating
assembly comprises a heating part and a
water storage tank, water quantitatively output of the
water storage tank is heated into steam through the heating part, and food is heated by the steam in the inner container; the steam
recovery device is composed of a condenser, a steam
pipe and a return
pipe, the heating box body and the condenser are connected through the steam
pipe, and the condenser and the
water storage tank are connected through the return pipe; the
control circuit controls the food heater to complete the whole work process; due to a sealing structure between the box door and the inner container,
steam pressure in the heating box body is increased,
heating efficiency of the heather is improved, a large part of steam is returned to the
water storage tank after being condensed through the transnormal pressure in the heating box body, heated water can be utilized in a circulating mode, and environmental
pollution caused by steam leakage can be avoided or reduced.
