Steam Jacketed Kettles
team jacketed kettles are specialized cooking vessels designed to provide efficient and uniform heat distribution for large-scale food preparation. They feature a double-walled construction where steam circulates between the walls (the “jacket”), transferring heat evenly to the food inside. This design minimizes the risk of scorching and ensures consistent cooking results.
Key Features:
Even Heat Distribution: The steam jacket allows for uniform heating, preventing hot spots and ensuring all parts of the food are cooked evenly.
Versatility: Suitable for preparing a wide range of foods, including soups, sauces, stews, and pasta. Some models come with tilting mechanisms for easy pouring and cleaning.
Energy Efficiency: Steam is an efficient heat transfer medium, allowing for faster cooking times and reduced energy consumption compared to traditional stovetop methods.
Types of Steam Jacketed Kettles:
Stationary Kettles: Fixed in place and often equipped with a draw-off valve at the bottom for dispensing liquids.
Tilting Kettles: Designed with a mechanism that allows the entire kettle to tilt, facilitating easy transfer of contents and cleaning.
