The AccuTemp ALTWE-40 is a 40 gallon electric tilting kettle from the AccuTemp Edge Series, made in the USA for commercial kitchens that batch cook soups, stocks, sauces, and other liquid recipes. It is a self contained, floor mounted unit with a 2/3 steam jacket, so it generates its own steam internally and does not require an external boiler or steam line. Heat spreads evenly across the lower two thirds of the kettle for gentle cooking that resists scorching, with thermostatic control from 150F to 260F.
This kettle suits schools, healthcare facilities, correctional kitchens, catering commissaries, and restaurants that rely on daily batch cooking. The seamless deep drawn 304 stainless steel liner has an integrally formed radius lip for clean pouring and easy cleanup, and an optional 316 liner is available for highly acidic products such as tomato sauces. Full body insulation between the kettle jacket and outer casing keeps exterior surfaces cooler and reduces heat loss, part of AccuTemp's Insulated for Safety construction.
The tilting design uses a self locking worm gear mechanism, so the kettle holds its position at any angle while you pour, and a tilting cut off switch adds another layer of protection. The kettle protection system includes a pressure relief valve, air eliminator valve, pressure gauge, jacket water fill, automatic low water cutoff with indicator light, and field replaceable heating elements that simplify future service.
