An electric soup kettle keeps prepared soups, sauces and liquids at a steady serving temperature without further cooking. A heating element submerged in a water jacket transfers heat evenly into the inner soup tank, eliminating hot spots and preventing scorching. The water bath principle ensures gentle, uniform warmth that preserves texture and flavour while meeting food-safety standards for extended holding periods.
To use the kettle, fill the water jacket to the stamped maximum line—approximately 1.5 litres—then lower the stainless-steel soup tank into place. Pour up to 8 litres of pre-cooked liquid into the tank, close the two-piece tempered-glass lid, and set the desired holding temperature on the digital panel. The display shows the set point, current temperature and elapsed operating time. When the kettle reaches the target, it maintains it automatically; the last setting is stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is switched on. The insulated lid handle and cut-out allow safe handling even when the kettle is hot, while the two-piece design minimises heat loss and keeps the workspace hygienic.
The outer body is made of high-temperature-resistant polypropylene, and the inner soup tank and heating element are stainless steel AISI 304 for durability and easy cleaning. A built-in card holder on the lid holds product-name cards, keeping front-of-house staff informed. The control panel offers one-degree increments from 35 to 85 °C, allowing precise adjustment for different recipes and service requirements.
A power rating of 0.5 kW indicates a modest load on the electrical supply, suitable for standard 220–240 V circuits found in professional kitchens. The 8-litre capacity provides enough volume for batch service without overloading worktop space, while the compact footprint—365 mm diameter by 325 mm high—fits neatly on counters or mobile trolleys. The removable tank simplifies cleaning and sanitising between services, and the water jacket can be drained and wiped down to prevent scale build-up.
The kettle is designed solely for warm holding, not for cooking, ensuring consistent results without risk of over-processing. Variants in the UNIQ range share the same construction and control features, differing only in capacity and colour.
