Large capacity cooking kettle for industrial kitchens
Optimize your cook-and-chill production with a versatile cooking kettle that seamlessly handles heating, stirring, and chilling, making it ideal for creating complex dishes like sauces and ready meals with precision and ease.

The Joni MaxiMix Cooking Kettle from The Food Machinery Company is a versatile solution for commercial kitchens, food processing companies, and catering services. Designed for seamless integration into industrial kitchens, it combines heating, stirring, and chilling processes within a single unit, effectively streamlining the preparation of complex dishes like sauces, mashed potatoes, and ready meals.
The robust stainless steel construction ensures hygiene with no joints in food-contacting areas, making it suitable for high-demand applications. It boasts a capacity range of 400 to 500 liters, accommodating batch and semi-automated operations with high speed. The kettle features sophisticated software options, including AutoTemp 56 and AutoChef 86, for precise temperature control.
The fully penetrating stirrer shaft and dynamic stirring patterns, with speeds adjustable between 5 and 140/155 RPM, allow gentle heat distribution and effective mixing of slurries, solids, and liquids. This ensures optimal texture for end-products ranging from Béchamel and Bolognese sauces to mashed potatoes and meatballs.
For enhanced efficiency, the MaxiMix can be connected to an external chilling system, allowing for smooth cook-and-chill production. Maintenance is simplified with the MultiClean cleaning tool, reducing labor and downtime. Safety is prioritized with features like the automatic halt of the stirrer when the lid is opened, while offering a SlowMix option for content mixing during pouring.
