Canada's Definitive Commercial Cooking Equipment Buying Guide

Kettles

ommercial kettles, also known as steam kettles or steam

jacketed kettles, are essential pieces of equipment in large

institutional kitchens, cafeterias, hospitals, and food processing

facilities. They are designed for efficient and high-volume cooking

of soups, stews, sauces, jams, and other liquid or semi-liquid foods.

Kettles consist of an inner cooking vessel surrounded by an outer

jacket, into which steam or hot water is circulated. This design allows

for even and consistent heating of the contents, ensuring thorough

cooking and preventing scorching or burning. Kettles provide a more

subtle cooking method with less than 300F degrees as a top cooking

temperature.

These devices are not intended to be used as a fryer or braising pan in the same way that the Tilt Skillet is,

but they do have a place in large-scale sauce and soup production. Commercial kettles are available in a

wide range of capacities, ranging from 20 to 100 gallons or more. Most commercial kettles feature precise

temperature controls, allowing operators to set and maintain specific cooking temperatures for optimal

results and to prevent overcooking or scorching. Further, advanced models may offer programmable controls,

timers, and automated mixing or stirring functions, reducing labor requirements and ensuring consistent

results. Finally, commercial kettles are available in either tilting configuration, which allows for easy pouring

or transferring of the cooked contents into other containers or serving vessels or with a 2-3” draw off valve.
