The Omcan 19073 Soup Kettle
The Omcan FW-CN-0010 is a 10.6-quart countertop soup kettle with a black powder-coated steel exterior that gives it the classic cast-iron frontier kettle look popular on rustic buffet displays and themed restaurant lines. This model comes with a stainless steel lid that retains heat better than the clear plastic lid version (19072) because the metal reflects radiant energy back into the pot instead of letting it pass through. For soup bars, chili stations, and oatmeal service where visual identification is handled by the included soup cards rather than a see-through lid, the metal lid is the better choice for temperature consistency.
Thermostat-Controlled Warming from 86 to 194 Degrees Fahrenheit
The thermostat adjusts from 86 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit (30 to 90 degrees Celsius), which covers warm holding for cream soups and bisques at the low end through to active warming for thick chili and stew at the high end. Once you set the dial, the thermostat cycles the 0.4 kW heating element on and off to hold your target temperature without constant attention. The powder-coated steel body is easy to clean and maintain, and the black finish hides minor scuffs and splashes better than stainless steel during a busy buffet service. The kettle runs on a standard 110-volt outlet and weighs 10 pounds, so one person can carry it from the back of house to the buffet station without help. Included soup cards let you label each kettle for guests.
