CKE KL-GR60 Industrial Gas Cooking Pot 169L Stainless Steel

Our review

The CKE KL-GR60 is a large gas-fired cooking pot aimed at operations that cook in volume rather than in batches. With a 169-litre capacity and a stainless steel body, it fits hotel kitchens, catering centres and mid-to-large food service setups where stocks, stews, rice or bulk sauces are prepared regularly. The drain valve is the detail worth noting: it lets you empty the pot without lifting or tipping it, which matters once a vessel this size is full and hot. Before buying, confirm your gas supply type and pressure, check that your floor space and ventilation can handle a unit of this class, and think about how you will clean and drain it safely. Compare it with smaller stock pots if your daily output is modest, and with tilting braising pans or steam-jacketed kettles if you need faster, more even heat control. Available on Sokonia.
