The Groen DH-80C is a self-contained, manual crank tilt kettle with a 2/3 jacket design, made in the USA. Engineered for high-volume food production, it provides the speed, consistency, and food safety assurance required in busy commercial kitchens, commissaries, and institutional settings. The heavy-duty 316 stainless steel interior is heated evenly by an internal gas-fired steam generator, while the IPX6-rated electronic controls offer simple, precise temperature management at your fingertips.
