The Omcan 44392 Soup Kettle
The Omcan FW-TW-5000-B is an 11-quart retro-style soup kettle warmer with a black coated ceramic finish that blends into most buffet and food service setups without standing out. The coated ceramic exterior stays cool to the touch during operation, so you can place it on a buffet table or countertop without worrying about heat transfer to the surface underneath. At 11 qt capacity, this kettle holds enough soup, chili, oatmeal, or stew to serve a steady stream of customers at a cafeteria line, hotel breakfast station, or catering event.
1,400W Heater with 86-212°F Adjustable Temperature Range
The 1,400W heating element brings the kettle up to serving temperature quickly, and the adjustable dial lets you set anywhere from 86 to 212°F (30 to 212°C). That wide range covers gentle warming for delicate cream soups at the low end and full rethermalizing for thick chili or stew at the high end. Front-access control dials make it easy to adjust the temperature mid-service without reaching behind the unit or fumbling with controls hidden under the lid. At 12A on a standard 120V circuit, the kettle plugs into any wall outlet without needing a dedicated line.
Retro Coated Ceramic Design with Spot-Welded Handles
The retro shape and coated ceramic exterior give this kettle a more inviting look than a standard stainless steel insert warmer, which matters when the unit is sitting in full view of customers on a buffet line or self-serve station. Spot-welded handles on both sides make the kettle easy to carry from the kitchen to the serving area, even when it is full and heavy. Non-skid feet keep the unit planted on the counter so it will not slide when customers bump into the table or when staff are ladling soup during a busy service. The locking lid prevents spills during transport and keeps heat from escaping when the kettle is not being actively served from.
