Groen GSSP-BL-3GS 3-Pan SmartSteam Pro Convection Steamer - Stand, Boilerless, Programmable Delime

The GSSP-BL-3GS is a boilerless convection steamer taking three 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in hotel pans. Groen heats it with gas, which puts the running cost on the meter rather than on the electrical service. It is specified where the same item is cooked several times across a service rather than once in the morning. It is available for natural gas or liquid propane; select the gas type above.

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 54,000 BTU/hr, or 18,000 BTU/hr for every 2-1/2 in deep pan the cavity holds. Because it is a convection steamer, the steam is driven over the pans rather than drifting, and a bottom pan cooks at much the same rate as a top one. 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.

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. CSA and NSF appear on the sheet.

The stand is factory-assembled stainless, so the height is settled before delivery rather than on site. Power is 115 V single phase, fixed when the unit is ordered. A hood over it and a clear swing for the door are the other two site questions.
