Commercial soup kettles are built for continuous service, with larger capacity (6–12L) and safety features. Domestic models lack the durability and heat control for foodservice use.

6L units suit small cafés or limited menus. 12L kettles are best for buffets, canteens, and high-volume service.

Dial thermostats allow precise serving temperatures, while insulated walls reduce energy costs during long service hours.

Cool-touch exteriors and overheat protection make them safe for front-of-house use on counters or buffets.

Removable inner pots (stainless or enamel) simplify cleaning, ensuring fast turnaround between service sessions.

Choose 6L for smaller cafés or side dishes; 12L is ideal for large batches or buffet lines.
