Introduction
DESCRIPTION
All direct connected steam jacketed kettles pertaining to
this manual are direct steam operated pressure vessels
of a double-wall stainless steel construction forming a
steam chamber (jacket) enveloping the lower two thirds
of the kettle bowl surface. Kettles included are tilting
and stationary, oor mounted in xed positions either on
legs with adjustable anged feet or pedestals. All kettles
are equipped with a drain cock, safety relief valve and a
steam control valve.
FUNCTIONING MODE
Market Forge direct connected steam jacketed kettles
consist of a stainless steel bowl and a stainless steel
jacket which envelopes two thirds of the lower surface of
the bowl thus forming a sealed pressure vessel (chamber) into which steam is introduced by means of a manual
control valve.
The kettle bowl is the container for the food product which
ideally should be of a liquid or semi-liquid consistency to
achieve complete contact with the bowl surface and thus
fully absorb the heat transmitted through the surface.
The temperature required for the cooking process to function adequately must be greater than the boiling point of
the liquid food product. Further, the greater the steam
pressure used, the higher the temperature and conse-
quently the quicker the cooking process. For example,
steam pressurized at 30 PSI attains a temperature of
274°F (135°C).
