Description
Groen products are proudly built by American’s in Jackson, Mississippi and are sold all over the world. Their products have earned their reputation for ease of operation, high performance and long lasting reliability. If you have been associated with the commercial food service industry for more than 10 minutes you already know that when it comes to steam jacketed kettles and tilt skillets – Groen builds the best. The 40 gallon is designed to keep up with the demands of any large kitchen while not taking up (or heating up) valuable floor space.
This high performance kettle would be a perfect choice for any high demand restaurant, institutional kitchen or a large catering operation. Steam jacketed kettles are non-scorching and are perfect for Soup Du Jour, stock, re-fried beans, salsa, Mac N Cheese, craft beer, jams and jellies, fudge, Artisan candies, BBQ sauce etc – I have even sold one to a lip balm producer.
What we know…
Like everything we sell, this beautiful kettle came from a government agency. It was used very little and is in excellent condition. Please take a minute to enlarge the pictures to get a close up view. It operates as you would expect a new kettle to work. The all stainless construction is flawless and has the look of chrome. The jacket water is crystal clear and as you can see, the gauge holds a solid -30 when not in use. There are no unnecessary circuit boards that may pop and smoke, leaving you unable to produce. The kettle heats fast and tilts smooth, safely and effortless.
I provide a large whisk with every kettle I sell with the hope that the new owner will use it. So often, operators use a metal spatula for stirring the kettle and it really gives a beating to the inside of the bowl leaving divots and scratches. The whisk does a better job and is harmless to the kettle and because the inside of the bowl is in perfect condition, we should try and keep it that way.
Let’s talk about 480 volt power…
If you have 480 volt service, you only want 480 volt equipment. All of the big shooters like Burger King, McDonald’s, Chic-Fil-A etc use 480 volt power because they know that it is the most economical way to create heat. With gas, most of the energy produced fly’s out through the vent. With electric elements, all of the energy and heat stays in the boiler. It is a much more efficient – more controllable way to cook. A lot of business locations have 208 or 240 volt 3 phase power but not everyone has the more economical 480 volt service. If you do not have it you will not be able to use this kettle and if you are unsure, please contact a licensed electrician before you hit the Buy It Now button for this beautiful kettle.
