Description
Crown DLT-40 Direct Steam Tilting Kettle – 40 gal / 152 L
2/3-jacketed | Manual crank tilt | 316/304 stainless | NSFBuilt for demanding, high-volume kitchens, the Crown DLT-40 gives you 40 gallons of even, steam-powered cooking capacity in a compact, floor-mounted design. A smooth crank tilt with a self-locking positive stop lets a single operator safely pour product, while the acid-resistant 316 stainless liner stands up to tomato-based sauces, stocks and more.
