Jasper Muulti-Function Cooker Yumcha Steamer JA-NC

The Jasper JA-NC is a gas multi-function cooker and yum cha steamer built for boiling, steaming and simmering in a single 600 mm-wide unit. It is specified for consistent heat distribution across those functions rather than one at the expense of the others. Supplied in two gas builds, natural gas or LPG. At 83 kg it is a fixed installation requiring a licensed gasfitter.

Why operators choose the JA-NC-N-SM

• Boiling, steaming and simmering in one unit — a yum cha service needs all three at once, and this replaces separate appliances for each
• Only 600 mm wide — narrow enough to fit into an existing line rather than forcing a redesign, which matters in the tight kitchens yum cha service usually runs in
• Specified for consistent heat distribution — even heat is what stops the outer baskets in a steamer stack cooking slower than the inner ones
• Natural gas or LPG builds — order to match the supply your site already has - each is a separate SKU and they are not interchangeable
• Built for frequent commercial use — specified for busy kitchen environments rather than intermittent duty
• 83 kg — substantial enough to sit stable in a line without being a two-day install
• Licensed gasfitter installation — a fixed gas appliance is commissioned properly, not connected on arrival

Venue suitability

The JA-NC suits yum cha restaurants, Asian kitchens, food courts and caterers needing steaming capacity alongside boiling and simmering without dedicating three appliances to it. At 600 mm wide it fits into an existing cooking line.

Installation & delivery

This is a gas appliance. It must be installed, connected and commissioned by a licensed gasfitter to the relevant Australian standards — it is not a connect-on-arrival unit. Allow 600 x 900 mm of floor and confirm extraction with your local requirements — a steamer produces a large volume of moist vapour, which is a different extraction problem from grease-laden fume and needs to be designed for. At 83 kg it is a two-person move and a fixed position once connected.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What can the JA-NC actually do?

Boiling, steaming and simmering. It is built as a multi-function unit so a yum cha service can run all three from one appliance rather than dedicating separate equipment to each.

Q: Which gas type should I order?

Match your site's existing supply - natural gas (JA-NC-N-SM) or LPG (JA-NC-L-SM). Each is a separate SKU, they are not interchangeable, and your gasfitter should confirm the connection before installation.

Q: What gas output does it produce?

Our product data does not record one - the power field holds the fuel type rather than an MJ/h rating. Contact our team if you need the figure for a gas sizing calculation, and your gasfitter will confirm the connection requirement on site.

Q: Can I install it myself?

No. This is a gas appliance and must be installed, connected and commissioned by a licensed gasfitter to the relevant Australian standards.

Q: Does a steamer need different extraction from a wok or grill?

Yes, and it is worth raising with your fit-out early. A steamer produces a large volume of moist vapour rather than grease-laden fume, so condensation management matters more than grease filtration. Your mechanical contractor will specify it.

Q: What warranty does the JA-NC-N-SM come with?

Covered for 12 months. The product data does not state a parts-and-labour split for this model, so contact our team for the exact terms before you order. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
