Egestorff steam kitchen
In the 19th century, the Egestorff'sche steam kitchen was the name of a method for preparing large quantities of food by steaming , especially in so-called "dining establishments", in which meals were given to the poor , for example . For this form of feeding the poor , the raw food ingredients were cooked using hot steam and usually offered as lunch for immediate consumption in the adjoining dining establishment .
The method of cooking with hot steam was known for a long time before it was named after Georg Egestorff , the machine manufacturer who worked in Linden near Hanover , from 1855 . In the same year, he opened the Egestorff food facility for his workers on today's property at Hohe Straße 9 in the Linden-Mitte district of Hanover .
