The Crown Steam DC-10 10-gallon direct steam kettle is a workhorse for commercial kitchens, offering unmatched performance for large-batch cooking. Constructed from rust-resistant stainless steel, this kettle is built to withstand the demands of professional environments, including exposure to acidic products. Its 316 stainless steel liner ensures longevity, while the hemispheric bottom design guarantees efficient heat transfer for consistent results. The 2/3 jacket design, which wraps around the lower two-thirds of the kettle, maximizes steam efficiency, reducing energy costs while maintaining precise temperature control. Ideal for restaurants, catering operations, and institutional kitchens, this kettle is designed for durability and ease of use, with a lever tilt mechanism that allows for smooth, safe operation beyond 90 degrees. The tubular mounting legs conceal steam supply and condensate return pipes, maintaining a clean, professional appearance, while the steam control valve on the right leg prevents unsafe steam buildup. A nylon foot on one leg provides stable support when the kettle is in an upright position, and the removable, heat-resistant operating handle adds to its user-friendly design. With a 1-year limited warranty on parts and labor, the Crown Steam DC-10 is a reliable investment for any commercial kitchen seeking high-quality steam cooking equipment.
