By the design of arranging the snap ring on the food steamer body, the vertically overlapping and mutually holding functions of the holding type food steamer can be achieved, therefore, the holding type food steamer is simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost; and accordingly, the storage volume of the food steamer is effectively reduced.
