OK – Let’s talk about your next kettle…
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.
When comparing this kettle to the others please don’t compare just the price. This kettle is in new condition and can only be compared to new. Also I’d like to caution you by saying that because I have been at this business a long time I can tell you that when it comes to food service equipment repair, kettles are in a league all of their own. Burners cost north of $3000.00, tilt control parts are worse and if your purchase leaks, all you can do is set it in the dumpster – they are not repairable. If you are looking for a new kettle because you don’t have the time nor the patience to be dealing with problems but you just can’t pull the trigger because of the price – this is the perfect option!
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 lights fast and tilts smooth, safely and effortless.
Check out the close-up picture of the most important part of any gas fired equipment – the burner. This has to be in good, clean, rust-free condition not only for the longevity of the equipment but for safety reasons as well. In this case the burner and jets are in new condition. Before you spend a lot of money on a kettle, no matter who you buy it from, demand two things. Get a good clear picture of the burner and get at least some sort of warranty in writing. Both will go a very long way in telling you the condition of the equipment you are considering and shut down any sort of seller BS.
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.
