Groen EE-80 80 gal Steam Kettle - Stationary, 2/3 Jacket, 208v/3ph

With an 80-gallon capacity, the Groen EE-80 steam kettle is best used for high-volume cooking. Between the interior and exterior, a hollow jacket is filled with water, so when the unit is heated, steam forms. The jacket covers the bottom two-thirds of the kettle, which is more affordable than fully jacketed options, though it may not heat as evenly. Because the unit cooks with steam, it is an easier-to-use alternative to a stock pot range. For cooking barbeque sauce and other acidic products, the interior of this stationary kettle is lined with 316 stainless steel—a more corrosion-resistant material than 304 stainless steel.

Sheathed in stainless steel and air-gap insulated, the unit keeps heat inside to maintain even temperatures and a cool-to-the-touch exterior. The unit is covered by a counterbalanced, spring-assisted lid that opens and closes smoothly while a draw-off valve is integrated into the unit, so users can remove liquid from the kettle. This comes in handy for getting broths out of the unit and cleaning the interior. Operating with a temperature range from 150 to 270 degrees Fahrenheit, this Groen EE-80 steam-jacketed kettle is thermostatically controlled.
