Groen GSSP-BL-3E 3-Pan SmartSteam Pro Convection Steamer - Countertop, Boilerless, Programmable Delime

Batch cooking straight to a service line is the job of the GSSP-BL-3E, which carries three 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in hotel pans. The steam is raised by electric elements, so the site needs no boiler room and no fuel line. Nothing is decanted between cooking and service.

Groen generates the steam inside the cavity rather than in a separate vessel, which removes the boiler as a maintenance item and shortens the time from cold to cooking. Total input is 9 kW, or 3.0 kW for every 2-1/2 in deep pan the cavity holds. Convection is what makes a full load even, because moving steam reaches the back of a cavity where still steam does not. Deliming is scheduled in software: the delime program is set on the touchscreen and the unit asks for it rather than waiting to be remembered.

Stainless steel is used for the cavity and the cabinet, and the panels lift off rather than unbolt piece by piece. The door is air-insulated and field-reversible, and its seal is a one-piece part that is replaced rather than repaired. The cavity is lined in stainless steel, which is the surface that gets wiped at the end of a shift. 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. It carries UL, cUL and NSF listings.

It is a countertop machine, so the bench it stands on has to take it loaded and wet. It is offered for 208 V or 240 V, single or three phase service; choose the electrical option above. The clearance a service technician needs is worth settling before the unit is boxed in.
