Are there different types of steam-jacked kettles?
Yes–countertop, wall-mounted and floor models, but more notably, tilting and stationary. Tilting kettles are designed to be tilted forward so contents such as soups and stews can be easily poured out without splashing, and the kettle can be handily cleaned. Cooked product is dispensed safely and in manageable portions. Stationary kettles, as the name implies, do not tilt. Food products such as thinner stocks are a common usage since contents are removed with a ladle or emptied through a faucet-type spigot and a filter at the bottom of the kettle. LoLo kettles are available in stationary and tilting models to meet cooking needs.
