Groen DEE/4-20A 20 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - Manual Tilt

Rated at 20 gallons, the DEE/4-20A is the kettle a kitchen buys when the batch has outgrown the range. The vessel rides in a stainless floor support that carries it through the tilt. Because the heat is electric and generated on board, there is no combustion to vent and no fuel line to run.

Heat reaches the food through a steam jacket rather than a heated plate, and condensing steam holds one temperature across the whole heated surface. Groen gives 10.8 kW for the elements, against a jacket rated to 50 PSI maximum. The crank lets one person tilt the vessel precisely rather than in a single movement.

The kettle is built in 316 stainless, welded into a single piece. A 180 emery grit interior is specified, which shows every time the vessel is washed. Lining is 316 stainless, the grade to have where tomato and salt are routine. Classic covers power, temperature and the warning lights, Advanced adds a display and a timer, and Cook2Temp adds the probe. Groen lists the DEE/4-20A to UL, NSF and ASME.

The space to allow is 26 Inch by 29 Inch, with 55 Inch of height. It is offered for 208 V or 240 V, single or three phase service; choose the electrical option above. The floor support should be level before the vessel is loaded, and the arc in front of it kept clear.
