Best Answer

The purpose of a steam table is to heat food with steam. That is to say specifically from steam. Other types of hot tables will make use of water to keep food hot. The difference is that in a steam table the pans of food are not actually sitting in the water and can reach a higher temperature because steam gets hotter than water. Most tables employ the use of water heating the food directly, which will keep the temperature below 212F and heat the food more evenly. Both types of table can be either electric or propane fueled.
