How do mineral deposits commonly appear on a steamer?

Clear liquid
White or yellow crusty film
Brown residue
Foamy bubbles

The correct answer is: White or yellow crusty film

Mineral deposits commonly appear on a steamer in the form of a white or yellow crusty film due to the evaporation of water that contains dissolved minerals. When water is heated, especially if it is hard water (which contains higher concentrations of minerals such as calcium and magnesium), these minerals do not evaporate. Instead, they are left behind as residue when the steam is produced and condenses. Over time, this can build up on the heating elements and the inner surfaces of the steamer, making the crusty film quite noticeable. Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to prevent the accumulation of these deposits, which can affect the performance of the steamer and potentially lead to hygiene issues.
