CONSTITUTION:A supporting device group 20A supporting a group of stacked steaming baskets B is pushed up to a level H, when a steaming basket group transfer apparatus is actuated to supply the next group of stacked steaming baskets B to the stop position Z of the steaming basket group. Each cylinder 22, 22... of the ascending side supporting apparatus 20B is contracted by this motion and the remaining steaming baskets A, A supported on the ascending side supporting apparatus 20B are stacked upon the stacked steaming basket group B positioned above the stop position Z of steaming basket group. Subsequently, an apparatus 23B for pushing up another stacked steaming basket group of the waiting position is operated and the operations such as the pushing-up of steaming basket group, exchange of steaming basket, pushing-in of steaming basket, etc., are performed.
