Overview

The Southbend SSB-25 single perforated stainless steel basket is a focused accessory designed to fit 25-gallon kettles used in commercial kitchens. Though small, this component plays an outsized role in your kitchen buildout: it streamlines draining, separates solids from liquids efficiently, and reduces cleanup time so your cooks can focus on producing consistent foodservice results. For a new restaurant, every minute saved during prep and cleanup speeds you toward opening day and steady revenue.

Key Features

• Precision fit for 25-gallon kettles — engineered to match Southbend 25-gallon kettles for secure placement and optimal performance.
• Single perforated stainless steel construction — resists corrosion, stands up to high-volume commercial use, and cleans easily between shifts.
• Efficient straining and drainage — perforation pattern balances fast liquid flow with reliable retention of solids, speeding batch finishes.
• Lightweight, durable design — easy for staff to lift and maneuver while providing the long-term durability expected of commercial grade equipment.
