Engineered for high-volume soup, sauce, stock, and braised food production, the 20-gallon capacity allows  professional kitchen and institutional foodservice teams to produce large quantities of soups, stocks, sauces, gravies, puddings, and braised dishes in a single cooking cycle. Cleveland steam kettles are trusted by schools, hospitals, hotels, correctional facilities, and large-scale catering and food production operations across North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2\/3-jacket construction of the MKDT20T surrounds the bottom two-thirds of the cooking vessel with steam from the facility boiler connection, providing concentrated bottom-heat for rapid stock and sauce production with exceptionally even temperature distribution that prevents hot spots and scorching. The manual tilt mechanism allows the entire cooking vessel to be tilted forward for easy, controlled pouring into transport containers, stockpots, or smaller vessels without the need to ladle product by hand — dramatically reducing portion time and labor for large-batch production. The polished stainless steel interior surface is smooth, non-reactive, and easy to clean between production batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe direct steam supply connection provides instant heat availability as soon as facility steam is available, with no warm-up period and no internal boiler maintenance requirements. This makes the direct steam connection model the most efficient choice for kitchens already equipped with a central steam boiler. The 20-gallon capacity makes this kettle appropriate for producing restaurant-scale batch quantities of soups, sauces, and braised items that exceed the capacity of standard stockpots and range cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleveland Range has been manufacturing commercial steam cooking and steam kettle equipment for over a century, and the MKDT20T reflects the design experience and material quality that have made Cleveland kettles a standard in institutional and commercial foodservice kitchens. The MKDT20T is NSF certified, meeting food safety and sanitation requirements for commercial cooking equipment. The 2\/3-jacket design focuses heat at the bottom of the vessel for efficient heat transfer in fluid stocks, soups, and sauces where bottom heating is the primary requirement. Backed by Cleveland Range's commitment to commercial steam kettle quality, durability, and performance trusted by professional foodservice operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20-gallon commercial steam-jacketed kettle — Direct Steam operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\/3-jacket design — concentrated bottom heating for efficient stock, soup, and sauce production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual tilt mechanism — easy controlled pouring into containers without hand-ladling large batches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect steam connection — instant heat availability from facility boiler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20-gallon capacity — restaurant and institutional scale batch cooking for soups, sauces, and stocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished stainless steel cooking vessel — non-reactive, smooth interior for easy cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven heat distribution — steam jacket prevents hot spots and scorching across all batch sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for soups, stocks, chili, sauces, gravies, braised proteins, and pudding production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect Steam — no warm-up period, connects to facility steam boiler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNSF certified — meets commercial kitchen food safety and sanitation requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrusted by schools, hospitals, hotels, correctional facilities, and large-scale catering operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleveland Range commercial quality — over a century of steam kettle manufacturing excellence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cleveland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51724060328232,"sku":"MKDT20T 120","price":38398.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5151\/1092\/files\/109-mkdt20t120.jpg?v=1776535378","url":"https:\/\/www.nishienterprise.com\/products\/cleveland-mkdt20t-20-gallon-steam-jacketed-kettle-2-3-jacket-direct-steam","provider":"Nishi Enterprise Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
