Meet the 20-gallon jacketed kettle, the go-to workhorse for busy restaurants, catering outfits, and food-production shops. Built for all-day use, it lets cooks whip up everything from soups and chillies to jams and candy with steady heat, no guesswork.
Main Advantages
Solid Stainless Steel (304 or 316L)
Made from food-safe 304 or the tougher 316L stainless, this kettle laughs in the face of dents and spills, staying clean and rust-free shift after shift.
Even Heat All Round
The double-wall jacket wraps the kettle in a blanket of steam, so you never see burnt spots or half-cooked corners. Everything finishes at the same time, tasting and looking great.
Flexible Heat Choices
Pick the heat source that suits your kitchen:
- Steam—fast and furious.
- Natural gas or LPG—works where lines are ready.
- Electric—quiet, tidy, and plug-and-play.
- Coal—still popular in some places.
Worldwide Voltage
Comes in 110V, 220V, 380V, 400V, and 480V options, so it slips into almost any shop around the globe.
Heavy-Duty Mixing Power
Select a mixer from 1.5 kW to a beefy 11 kW, and stir away worry-free. No burning, no lumps, just smooth, ready-to-pour goods every time.
Scalable Size Options
Starting at the common 20-gallon size, kettles also come in 50, 200, 500, and even 1,000-liter models, so you can up the output as demand grows.
Where People Use Them 🥘
In Restaurants
Roughly stir soups, stocks, or large batches of stew without dark spots. Even heat cuts prep time and saves energy.
For Caterers
Keep gravy, sauce, or molten filling warm, gently stirred, and ready whenever staff needs it.
In Food Plants
Run precision batches of sauce, jam, syrup, or specialty items and get the same great taste every time.
Candy Makers
Dial in the heat for caramel, fudge, or other confections and avoid burning or unwanted graininess.
Brewers and Bars
Steep tea or make boiled syrup with calm, controlled heat, or pasteurize big batches with confidence.
Day-To-Day Examples
Morning in a busy deli kitchen: The steam-heated jacket quickly nudges stock to a gentle simmer. A 2-kW mixer keeps it silky until service.
At an outdoor catering gig: A gas kettle warms stock while a 380-V power feed runs the mixer and holds sauce steady for hours.
While making jam: The electric kettle gives constant heat, the 316-L steel shrugs off acid, and a 5-kW mixer keeps sugar evenly suspended.
