Steamer for food rehydration

A system for rehydrating a food item with steam, the system comprising:

• a housing;
• a pressurized moisture source having an outlet, the pressurized moisture source comprising an enclosed vessel within which a liquid is pressurized for release through the outlet;
• a plate having a top surface, a bottom surface and an opening traversing between the top surface and the bottom surface;
• a casing coupled with the top surface of the plate and having a pivot point;
• a conduit having a first end and a second end, the first end coupled with the opening at the top surface of the plate and the second end coupled with the outlet of the pressurized moisture source;
• and
• an actuator coupled with the casing on a first end and the housing at a second end, the actuator configured to move the casing from a first position to a second position by rotation about the pivot point, the first position to flow of moisture from the pressurized moisture source towards the plate the second position to idle flow of moisture from the pressurized moisture source.
