Jacketed Kettle: The Versatile Workhorse of Commercial Food Processing
If there’s one piece of equipment that appears in virtually every commercial kitchen and food processing facility, it’s the jacketed kettle. From soups and sauces to candy and custards, from sterilization to concentration, a jacketed kettle handles an extraordinary range of cooking tasks with precise temperature control and efficient heat transfer.
The WEILE commercial steam kettle series offers six models from 100L to 600L, providing the right capacity for operations from restaurant kitchens to industrial food factories.
What Is a Jacketed Kettle?
A jacketed kettle is a cooking vessel with a double-wall construction. The space between the inner and outer walls (the “jacket”) is filled with a heating medium — typically steam or thermal oil. This design provides:
- Even heating: No hot spots that cause scorching
- Precise temperature control: The heating medium maintains consistent temperatures
- Efficient heat transfer: Larger surface area than direct-heat methods
- Gentle cooking: Indirect heat prevents burning and sticking
