[uhtmniqc] Cooking with steam

Convecting (circulating) liquid water is an excellent way of distributing heat for cooking.  What similar methods are available for higher temperatures?  Deep frying.  A convection oven uses air.  Is steam available?  Supercritical water is exotic.

Inspired by wanting to cook bacon quickly.  I think the portion of the pan touching the bacon becomes cooled by the bacon but relies on relatively slow heat transfer methods to heat back up.  I imagine a thin walled vessel sandwiching the bacon on the inside, blasted by steam on the outside.
