Product Description
Overview
The Southbend TKS-20 Tilting Kettle Strainer (20–25 gallon, pour lip) is an essential accessory for any commercial kitchen preparing soups, stocks, sauces and large-batch recipes. Designed to mount to tilting kettles, the TKS-20 captures solids while allowing clear liquid to pour directly into pans or holding vessels. For new restaurant owners executing a tight kitchen buildout schedule, this durable strainer streamlines production and reduces handling — helping you get to your first service with confidence.
Key Features
- 20–25 gallon capacity compatibility — Optimized to fit common tilting kettles in this size range, giving you flexibility across Southbend and other manufacturer kettles.
- Pour lip design — Integrated pour lip directs strained liquid cleanly into receiving pans, reducing spills and improving portion control during high-volume service.
- Commercial-grade stainless steel construction — Built to withstand daily heavy use and resist corrosion for long service life in demanding foodservice environments.
- Easy-to-clean surfaces — Smooth stainless surfaces and simple geometry speed up washdown and help meet your kitchen’s sanitation standards.
- Quick mounting and removal — Designed for straightforward installation and removal, minimizing downtime during prep and cleaning cycles.
- Compatible with NSF certified equipment — While the TKS-20 itself is a robust accessory, it integrates seamlessly with NSF certified kettles and other certified foodservice equipment in your kitchen buildout.
