Groen GT-40 40 Gallon Steam Jacketed Kettle - Full Jacket, Stationary, Tubular Legs, Direct Steam

Rated 40 gallons, the GT-40 is a production vessel rather than a service kettle. A stand under the vessel holds the rim level and is fixed to the floor. It takes its heat from the house steam main, which means no burner and no element in the machine and nothing added to the kitchen's heat load.

Because the jacket is full rather than partial, the whole cooking surface is live and nothing waits for heat to travel upward. Anywhere between 5 and 25 PSI will run it, and 25 PSI is the limit on the sheet. Nothing pivots: the vessel is fixed to its mounting and stays level from the first charge to the last.

A 316 stainless interior sits inside a 304 body, as the sheet specifies. Type 316 stainless lines the vessel, and that grade is what carries an acidic menu year after year. Groen lists the kettle to NSF and ASME. A stainless bowl of this shape washes out in one pass.
