Core Key Features
Direct Steam Injection (DSI) Technology
Delivers steam directly into the cavity for rapid, uniform heating—boils 20 gallons in just 18 minutes with ±2°C accuracy. This ensures consistent cooking results without hot spots or scorching.
Multi-Mode Cooking Controls
Three preset modes adapt to different recipes: Gentle Simmer (60–85°C) for custards and delicate broths, Rolling Boil (100°C) for pasta and stocks, and Hold Warm (55°C) for sauces and buffet service. The digital control panel allows time/temp presets and auto-shutoff.
Space-Saving Countertop Design
Requires only 4 sq ft (2’×2’) of space, fitting standard 30" worktables. Perfect for food trucks, food halls, or satellite kitchens where floor space is limited.
316L Stainless Steel Cavity
High-grade 3mm stainless steel resists acids, salts, and abrasive cleaning, ensuring durability for heavy commercial use. The material is food-safe and easy to sanitize.
Effortless Tilting & Dispensing
Manual or gas-spring tilting mechanism allows a 75° pour angle for easy transfer of soups, sauces, or stocks. A 1.5" drain valve enables sediment-free dispensing into pans or bags.
Safety & Compliance Features
Auto pressure release prevents over-pressurization, while the cool-touch exterior (surface temp <45°C during operation) reduces burn risks. Complies with NSF, ETL, and CE standards for food service safety.

FAQ
Do I need an external boiler for the Table-T Steam Stockpot?
No! It features an integrated electric steam generator for plug-and-play operation—no additional boiler or steam lines required.
How long does it take to heat 30 gallons of water to a boil?
Approximately 22–25 minutes, thanks to Direct Steam Injection technology. This is significantly faster than traditional stockpots.
Can it be used for acidic foods like tomato sauce?
Yes! The 316L stainless steel cavity is resistant to acids, making it safe for tomato-based sauces, citrus-infused broths, or vinegar-based pickles.
Is it easy to move when empty?
Yes—empty weight is 40kg (88 lbs), and the compact design allows for easy maneuvering in tight kitchens.
What’s the difference between this and a floor steam kettle?
The Table-T model requires no plumbing/boiler, has a 4 sq ft footprint (vs. 15–25 sq ft for floor kettles), and switches recipes in 5 minutes (vs. 20+ mins for floor kettles). It’s ideal for 50–200 portions/day, while floor kettles suit 500+ portions/day.
