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
Steam Jacketed Kettle.
Kettles have the power for rapid browning of
ingredients and reduction of bases and the
precise temperature control and even heating
for slow simmering of:
• Soups • Stews
• Barbecue sauce • Taco meat
• Creamy chowders • Gumbos
• Sauces & toppings • Chinese dishes
• Chili • Pasta sauces
• Ground meat dishes • Cooked cereals
Groen Kettles bring water to a boil faster, so
nothing is better for boiling:
• Vegetables • Potatoes
• White fish • Eggs
• All types of pasta • Beans/Legumes
• Poultry • Fruit
• Rice & rice based dishes • Shellfish
• Brisket/stew meat, etc • Bagels
Groen kettles provide gentle, uniform heating
and are ideal for heat sensitive products:
• Cream sauces • Glazes
• Puddings • Dessert icings
• Roux • Cream fillings
• Chocolate • Cheese sauces
• Fruit syrups • Fruit fillings
• Fudge • Pie fillings
Groen Steam Jacketed Kettles are also ideally
suited for:
• Reheating prepared foods, both refrigerated
and frozen, either in the pouch or out
• Finishing cooking from frozen concentrates,
with water or milk added
• Holding for extended periods and serving hot
from the kettle
• Display cooking of “made to order” pasta, sea-
food, chowder and more

STEAM JACKETED KETTLES
Determining Kettle Size
Groen Steam Jacketed Kettles are available in a wide range of types, styles and capacities. There is a Groen kettle that is perfect for
your operation, menu mix and production volume requirements.
All kettles require head space of “freeboard” for safe operation. Nominal kettle capacity is the calculated maximum volume when
filled to the rim. You need a minimum of 2-3” of clearance below the rim for stirring and to avoid boil-over, etc. This working capacity
is about 80% of rim or nominal capacity and the figure you should use in determining kettle size.

Kettle Accessories & Options
Any kettle model can be made more efficient, more versatile and easier to use,
with the addition of one or more handy accessories or optional features.
Covers
Kettle covers reduce heat-up times, save
energy, reduce the load on ventilation and
HVAC systems and make the kitchen more
comfortable for cooks and staff. Covers also
control moisture content and reduction during cooking. Covers are standard on stationary floor models, with liftoff or hinged covers
available for other models.
Cooking Baskets
Basket inserts make it easier to load, cook and unload product with boiling
vegetables, shellfish and pasta. A single basket is available for table top
models, while floor models can be ordered with a triple basket set (TRIBC) for preparing three different products at the same time. Groen TRI-BC
basket are NSF listed.
Water Fill Faucets
Fill faucets speed recipe time, eliminate carrying buckets of water and simplify kettle clean-up. Every Groen kettle is provided with a sturdy bracket
with a knockout for mounting a water fill faucet. Available in single parts
(hot or cold) or double pantry (hot and cold) styles. Fill faucets are a practical addition to any kettle. Also available with spray hose and flex line.
Tables & Stands
Stands provide the ideal kettle work height
and simplify cooking, cleaning and product
handling. T5C Tables include front mounted
steam controls, a built-in water fill faucet
and a full width sink with sliding pouring
shelf. TS/9 Stands are available with a slide
out pouring/portioning cart with drain.
Draw-O Valves
Draw-off valves make transfer of thick and
chunky product, draining off cooking water
and kettle cleaning easier. They are standard
on stationary floor models and are available
for all utility floor model kettles to provide
additional product transfer options.

Kettle Tangent Strainers
A stainless tangent strainer with 1/4” perforations is standard
on all stationary floor model kettles. The strainer keeps food solids from collecting and over cooking in the tangent well. Solid
and 1/8” perforated tangent strainers are available for straining
smaller food solids.
Flanged Feet
Optional flanged feet for AH,
EE, DEE and DH kettles are ideal
for permanent installations and
kettle stability. Recommended
(or required) in areas with higher
seismic activity. All direct steam
kettles come standard with floor
mounting flanges.
Gallon Etch Markings &
Contour Measuring Strips
Quickly and easily measure the amount of water or product
in your kettle with either etched gallon marks or a removable
hanging stainless steel measuring strip.
Kettle Pouring
Lip Strainers
Strainers are available for the
pouring lip of tilt model kettles to
strain ingredients past vegetables
or seafood. They are easily attached and removed for cleaning
and to allow full flow of product
when not required.
316 Stainless Liners
For continuous batches of high acid product such as barbecue
sauce to be produced each day, a more resistant type 316 stainless liner should be used. 316 stainless steel provides an additional margin of corrosion resistance compared to other 300
grade stainless steel. The 316 stainless steel is standard on large
kettles and available on table top models.
Gallon Master
Gallon master is an automatic water fill system which precisely delivers 1 to 999 gallons at the touch of a button. Its digital
readout ensures accuracy and allows the Operator to set the
volume, push a button and walk away to attend to other tasks.
Kettle Pan Carrier
This simple pan support attaches
easily to the front of the kettle and
holds a standard steamer pan at
the pouring lip for easy filling. The
steamer pan stays level regardless of the kettle pouring angle,
and is easily removed for cleaning or storage. The pan carrier will
hold 2/12-6” deep and half-size
(12x10”) pans.
Kettle Brush Set
Especially designed to make kettle cleaning easier, the brushes in this set are non-abrasive alternatives to scrub pads and
cloth. The set consists of a kettle brush, drain valve brush and
long handle paddle for stirring ingredients during cooking.
Gas Quick Disconnects
Typically used when casters are ordered for stand-mounted table
top gas kettles, the optional quick disconnect facilitates cleaning
behind equipment. Provided with CSA Design Certified restraining cable and attachments.
