Southbend GM-60 Permanent Etched Interior Markings | 60-Gallon Kettle Calibration | Commercial Grade

Overview

The Southbend GM-60 permanent etched interior markings are a simple but critical customization for your 60-gallon (approximately 227-liter) kettle. In a fast-paced foodservice environment, accurate measurement equals consistency, less waste, and faster throughput — all essential when you are opening a new restaurant and need every operational advantage. This modification provides permanent gallon and liter markings etched directly into the stainless interior of the GM-60 kettle so your team can read volumes easily during production without relying on temporary stickers or measuring tools.
