STEAM JACKETED KETTLES
For over 100 years, Groen
has been a trusted name
in quality and durable
and versatile kettle
production.
Oering more kettle
options than any other
manufacturer, Groen
kettles are superior.
Groen Steam Jacketed Kettles
have been voted “Best
in Class” by Foodservice
Equipment & Supplies Magazine
for six consecutive years.
Why Groen Kettles?
Groen Kettles Cook Faster
Our kettle transfers heat through the entire jacketed bottom and sides. A
stock pot only transfers heat on the bottom. Steam jacketed kettles have 1-2
times more heat transfer surface area than the same size stock pot, which means
faster heat-up and cook times.

Groen Kettles Are More Ecient
Kettles transfer more of their energy into the food product. Range burners
only heat the bottom of the stock pot and are very inecient. Groen gas heated
kettles are 58-65% ecient and electric models are even more ecient. Faster
cook times mean less energy used and lower utility bills. Direct steam kettles can
operate from an existing steam source for even greater energy savings.
Groen Kettles Save Labor
A single chef or cook can prepare large batches of your signature soups and other
popular menu specialties in a steam jacketed kettle. With their even heating and
precise temperature control, there is less need for constant “pot watching” and
frequent stirring. Groen’s tilt design makes product transfer and portioning fast
and easy. With larger single batch capabilities, you can reduce repetitive work by
eliminating multiple stock pots.
Groen Kettles are Easier to Clean
Is your sta cooking meat for pasta sauce, simmering that sauce in a stock pot and
boiling water for pasta in another pot? A Groen kettle can braise that meat, simmer
a great sauce or boil three kinds of pasta with fewer pans. And less burn-on means
less pot scrubbing. In addition, spilled liquids are more easily released from the
high polish surface making clean-up less time consuming for the Operator.
The Amazing Thermal Eciency of Steam
Steam carries approximately six times the energy of boiling water and gives up
that energy upon contact with a colder surface. This simple fact makes steam an
ideal heat transfer medium, and steam jacketed kettles the ideal way to cook,
reheat and hold a wide variety of menu items.
What Can You Prepare in a Groen Kettle?
Anything that can be prepared in a stock pot can
be prepared faster and more efficiently in a Groen
