Tilting, steam jacketed kettles are wonderful to have on hand in commercial kitchens. Just in case you aren’t familiar with them, the kettles are perfect for making, holding and reheating a wide range of restaurant fare. Among those dishes are hearty stews, creamy soups, thick gravies, braised meats and a wide variety of classic sauces. There’s usually just one problem. When they are brand new, most cost entrepreneurs anywhere from $4,000 to $20,000 or more! That’s partially why an increasing number of business men and women are turning towards restaurant equipment supply auctions in search of better deals.
Our restaurant equipment supply auctions are held at various locations in Florida and often include brand name, steam jacketed kettles. Case in point, in December 2014 we auctioned off several tilting, steam jacketed kettles manufactured by Cleveland. The ones that we let go in December for a steal were KET-12Ts and came complete with sturdy, stainless steel stands. They were capable of holding 12 gallons or 45 liters of food at one time and ran on anywhere from 9.8 to 12.3 kilowatts. However, the company makes floor type, steam jacketed kettles that are much bigger than that. The largest ones that we’ve seen to date were the KEL-100Ts and the KEL-100s. Both can accommodate 100 gallons or 375 liters and run on 14.7 to 29.4 kilowatts.
Each of the company’s steam jacketed kettles is well designed and runs extremely well. What we really like about them is that they are very energy efficient, which is good for the restaurant and the environment too. So we are always happy to buy, sell and auction them off along with other assorted restaurant equipment supplies at our South Florida auction house. To find out if we have any hot deals on steam jacketed kettles going on this month, please contact us today.
