Why this Oyster Bar out-shucks the rest

• True front-of-house performer – slim 27 in (686 mm) footprint fits tight bars & chef’s counters.
• (2) 2 L manual-tilt kettles built from 316 stainless inside and out for maximum corrosion resistance to briny shellfish juices.
• Direct-steam connection from an electrically heated 24 kW boiler operating at a steady 9-11 psi for lightning-fast recovery.
• Spillage sink with removable drain screen keeps the work surface spotless during service.
• Steam control valve conveniently integrated in the right front leg—no reaching across hot kettles.
• Automatic water level control, boiler blowdown and split water line mean less maintenance and more uptime.
• CSD-1 compliant safety package including pressure gauge & relief valve for worry-free operation in all jurisdictions.
• Lift-off kettle covers, heat-insulated tilt handles and 6 in stainless legs with adjustable flanged feet for rock-solid, safe installation.
• Factory-installed water treatment system protects your investment and preserves flavour.
