FAGOR MRIE-500 Electric Boiling Kettle – 500 Litre Capacity

This professional boiling kettle uses indirect heating, circulating hot water between an inner cooking vat and an outer jacket. Electric elements in the water jacket raise the temperature evenly, preventing hot spots and allowing controlled simmering for stocks, soups, and sauces without scorching.

The cylindrical cooking vat is filled through a hinged lid, and heating intensity is adjusted via a power control. A safety thermostat cuts power if the jacket temperature becomes excessive or the water level drops too low. An insulated drain tap at the front allows safe emptying of hot liquids.

The inner vat is made of AISI 316 stainless steel, while the jacket and outer shell use AISI 304 stainless steel. The lid features a chrome-plated locking mechanism and a heat-resistant handle. Adjustable legs on the stainless-steel frame ensure stability on uneven surfaces or when integrated into a worktop.

A dedicated 400 V three-phase circuit is required for the 48 kW power rating. The kettle's weight and dimensions necessitate reinforced flooring and appropriate space planning.

Maintenance includes flushing the vat with hot water, scrubbing with a non-abrasive pad, and checking the safety valve to ensure it operates at 0.5 bar. The satin-finish exterior wipes clean easily.

The MRIE-500 is the standard 500-litre model designed for large-scale catering operations.
