Whether you are selecting a commercial kettle for your campus kitchen or school district cook/chill batch cooking kitchen, you will want to consider closely what is the best fit for you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call one of our experts.

Consider the size of the kettle: The size of the kettle you choose will depend on the volume of food you need to prepare. For larger operations, a kettle with a larger capacity may be necessary. Keep in mind that a larger kettle may also require more space and a higher energy output.

Choose the appropriate power source: Kettles can be powered by electricity, gas, or steam. Electric kettles are generally more efficient and easier to control, but may not be practical in areas where electricity is limited. Gas kettles are more versatile, but may require more maintenance. Steam kettles are highly efficient, but may be more complex to operate.

Look for a kettle with the right features: Consider the specific features that your food service operation requires. For example, a tilting kettle can make it easier to transfer food, while a self-contained steam kettle can simplify the process of cooking food. Other features to consider may include a built-in timer, temperature control, or a lift-off lid.

Check for safety features: Safety features, such as automatic shut-off or temperature controls, can help prevent accidents in the kitchen. Look for a kettle with built-in safety features that will protect your staff and ensure safe operation of the equipment. Also consider security or prison package options if you are in a high-security environment.
