Market Forge Cook and Chill Direct Steam Tilting Kettle 20L

All Crown 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. All kettles are equipped with a drain cock, safety relief valve and a steam control valve. Options on kettles are hinged spring assisted stainless steel lid covering the kettle bowl opening and a sanitary stainless steel tangent draw-off valve as an alternate method for the removal of the food product from the kettle bowl. The kettle bowl is the container for the food product which ideally should be of a liquid or semiliquid 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 consequently the quicker the cooking process. For example, steam pressurized at 30 p.s.i. attains a temperature of 274 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius). All models are suffixed with either - 20, - 30, - 40, - 60, - 80 or - 100 to indicate the capacity of that kettle in U.S. gallons. Thus a DLT-40 is a two thirds jacketed direct steam kettle mounted on legs with a capacity of 40 gallons (U.S.). If the letter F is added to the suffix, this then indicates that the kettle is full jacketed direct steam kettle mounted on a pedestal with a capacity of 40 gallons (U.S.).
