You would say, “a cloud of steam burst from the pressure cooker.” Or, if you’re dealing with multiple sources, you’d say, “Clouds of steam burst from the pressure cookers.”
What do you think? Answer below!
Steam is its own plural. Truthfully, you have to use adjectives/verbs that are plural . Like: whisps of steam.
Is there anything wrong with “Steam puffed out of the pressure cooker”? Of course, if you are wanting a LOT of steam you may want it blasting out or shooting out or erupting out. I think the strength is in the verb choice, not the noun.

The correct form woul be ” Steam puffed out of the pressure cooker ” Plural of steam is steam only, but while using it u’ve to use in the correct form to be understood
steam is plural…it’s a collection of many vaporized water particles
if you have more steam it is steamer, and the most steam is steam mist.
Steam as a noun is just “steam”
If you have multiples of steam, use a plural modifier: “jets of steam”
When describing a group of something steamy or made of steam, it becomes an adjective, modifying a plural noun: “steamy puffs.”
Or it becomes a verb and describes an act of steaming. (I think it is perfect present tense – but I’m iffy on that.) “She steams the pants with an iron.”
I hope I made something “cloudy” clear for you! (Sorry, I know it’s a lame pun, but I couldn’t resist.)
