BASKETT
BASKETT 500
Baskett is a mixing kettle with gentle, indirect heating: sauces, creams, soups and polenta with automatic stirring and no constant supervision.
BASKETT 500 has a total volume of 500 l: an industrial size – for high-volume central kitchens and food production. In this size a pressure lid is available on the electric and steam versions, at up to 0.45 bar.
Description
Steam is generated inside Baskett's double jacket and heats the vessel evenly up to three quarters of its height. This bain-marie cooking protects nutrients and delicate mixtures that cannot cope with sudden temperature changes.
The standard 1.5 bar jacket pressure allows faster heating and cooling, and the high mixer speed spreads powders evenly for lump-free creams. The AISI 316 steel vessel is suitable for acidic products and tilts with a motor.
The 180, 320 and 500 litre electric and steam versions are also available with a pressure lid: at up to 0.45 bar, cooking times for meat or legumes drop by up to 70%. With the optional SCT2 cooling system it cooks and chills in the same vessel (Cook & Chill).
