Groen (2)GSSP-BL-5GS 10-Pan SmartSteam Pro Convection Steamer - Double Stacked, Stand, Boilerless, Natural Gas

Groen rates the (2)GSSP-BL-5GS at five 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in pans to a cavity. Gas supplies the heat, which puts the running cost on the meter rather than on the electrical service. That is ten across the stacked pair.

Boilerless means what it says: the steam is raised where the food is, so nothing has to be kept at pressure between batches and there is no boiler to blow down. Each cavity is fired at 58,000 BTU/hr, or 11,600 BTU for every 2-1/2 in deep pan the cavity holds. Circulation is the other half of it: this is a convection steamer, so the steam is moved across the pans instead of being left to find its own way round them. The delime schedule is programmable from the screen, so descaling becomes a calendar item instead of a callout.

The build is all stainless, cavity and cabinet alike, and the side panels are removable. Stainless steel lines the cavity. Operation is through a water-resistant touchscreen with self-diagnostics and ten nameable pan timers, so a cook sets the item rather than the minutes. The listings are CSA and NSF.

Stacked on a stand, the pair occupies one footprint, and the height of the upper door is worth checking against the cooks who will load it. Power is 115 V single phase, fixed when the unit is ordered. The door swing decides the rest of the layout around it.
