Product Description
Overview
The Southbend KDLT-100TC is a 100-gallon direct steam, manual-tilt kettle built for commercial kitchen environments where speed, consistency, and durability matter. For restaurateurs launching a new restaurant or scaling a busy foodservice operation, this NSF certified tilting kettle provides a reliable way to produce large batches of soups, stocks, sauces, and braises with professional results. The KDLT-100TC’s 316 stainless steel interior liner resists pitting and corrosion from acidic foods, while the 304 stainless steel exterior and robust quad-leg base stand up to heavy daily use. Designed with a 2/3 jacket and a 30 psi steam rating, this kettle delivers fast, even heat that keeps your kitchen moving during a tight kitchen buildout.
