Experience the unmatched performance of these Southbend® kettles, designed specifically for efficiency and ease of use. With their self-generating, electric, tilting, full-jacket construction, these kettles ensure optimal cooking results while maintaining a low height for convenient access. The innovative double-walled interior creates a steam jacket around the kettle, containing factory-sealed distilled water for superior thermal management.
Crafted from all-welded, #4 finish stainless steel, type 304, these kettles not only offer durability but also a sleek appearance. The kettle’s hemispherical bottom design promotes exceptional heat circulation, ensuring uniform cooking every time. The console, made from drip-proof stainless steel, is supported by a robust frame of 1-5/8” (41 mm) diameter stainless steel pipes, complete with adjustable legs for secure flooring attachment.
Ease of operation is a hallmark of this design. The kettle pivots effortlessly on a trunnion connected to an advanced tilt mechanism, allowing for a full 90-degree tilt to ensure complete emptying. The self-locking tilt mechanism guarantees a positive stop action, providing both safety and reliability.
For high-acid cooking applications, the kettle liner is standard with type 316 stainless steel, reflecting our commitment to quality. The integrally mounted controls include a user-friendly power switch, thermostat, pilot light, low water indicator, vacuum/pressure gauge, safety relief valve, and low water shut-off—everything you need for seamless operation.
With removable heating elements and a wide temperature range of 165°F to 285°F (74°C to 140°C) at a maximum pressure of 50 psi (345 kPa), these kettles are the ultimate choice for any commercial kitchen. Investing in a Southbend® kettle means investing in quality, efficiency, and superior culinary results. Make the smart choice today!
