Bellman Stovetop Milk Steamer 50SS

The 50SS is compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops. While it may work on some induction surfaces, it is not guaranteed to function unless your specific induction cooktop is compatible with smaller-diameter stainless steel cookware.

The unit features a pressure relief valve that will begin to hiss once the internal pressure is sufficient for steaming. You should wait for a steady, consistent release of steam from the valve before you begin frothing your milk.

Yes, the Bellman 50SS has a generous capacity that allows you to steam enough milk for several lattes or cappuccinos. Because it generates high-pressure steam, it is much more efficient than handheld battery-operated frothers.

No, the 18/8 stainless steel body will become very hot during the heating process. Always use a heat-resistant cloth or oven mitt when handling the unit or adjusting the steam valve.

The Bellman 50SS is capable of producing true microfoam, which is the silky, dense texture required for latte art. Because it uses a powerful steam wand rather than a whisk, the results are significantly closer to cafe-quality than those produced by electric whisk-style frothers.

After each use, you should wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and briefly purge the wand by opening the valve to clear any residual milk from the tip. Periodically, you may need to unscrew the tip to ensure the steam holes remain clear of buildup.
