Crown SX-5 Electric Countertop Convection Steamer

5-Pan | 15 kW Steam Generator | Auto-Fill & Auto-Drain

Built for high-volume kitchens that demand speed, consistency and durability, the Crown SX-5 delivers saturated steam to five full-size 12 × 20 inch pans from a self-contained, electrically heated generator. 316 stainless cooking surfaces and a full 304 stainless exterior stand up to years of commercial abuse while thoughtful service features—like the three-way ON / OFF / De-lime switch and automatic generator blow-down—keep downtime to a minimum.
