Steamed cheeseburgers are a regional food particular to a very few establishments near Middletown, Connecticut where it was invented in the early 1900's. The steamed cheeseburger is cooked in a stainless-steel cabinet which contains small trays that hold either an individual hamburger or a slice of cheese to be melted.
