In central production kitchens serving thousands of meals daily, efficiency, repeatability, and control are non-negotiable. Automated mixing kettles have become essential tools in these environments—not only because they save labor, but because they safeguard consistency, food quality, and safety in large-scale production.
But not all kettles are created equal. The value of a truly intelligent system comes from how well it supports your specific products and processes.
Why Mixing Matters More Than Ever
Mixing is not just about combining ingredients—it’s about building the right structure, texture, and product integrity. For example, folding a pasta salad or marinating chicken requires a very different approach than whipping a sabayon or emulsifying hollandaise.
Advanced mixing kettles support multiple mixing modes and speeds to meet these demands. Some models, like the Genier from Dieta, offer a patented three-part mixing tool system. This allows to switch between a powerful hook for heavy masses, a folding tool for delicate mixes, and a whisk for foams and emulsions. The design minimizes manual handling and expands your product portfolio in one piece of equipment.
Precision Temperature Control Is Not Optional
Large batches mean longer heating times and greater risk of uneven cooking, burning, or over-processing. Automated food temperature control in modern kettles allows the user to set a precise target temperature (e.g., 92°C for béchamel or 45°C for egg yolks), and the system will regulate itself to maintain it.
The Genier 360°Sense system takes this one step further. It uses a wireless sensor mounted directly on the mixer tool, offering real-time core temperature from four rotating measurement points. This is a game-changer when working with temperature-sensitive foods like hollandaise, sauces, or ESL-ready meals, where jacket temperature alone is not reliable.

There are mixing kettles – and there's the Genier mixing kettle
When comparing mixing kettles, look for:
- Core temperature measurement (360°Sense)
- Multi-tool, recipe-specific mixing
- Program automation & user control
- Proven savings in labor, water, and energy
Standardize and Automate with Genier
With programmable steps, automatic heating, mixing, and ingredient prompts, Genier runs your cooking process exactly as intended. It scales, stores HACCP data, and reduces dependency on skilled labor. Whether you’re producing 300 liters of sauce, whipping 60 liters of sabayon, or mixing 50 kg of chilled marinated chicken, you need a solution that:
- Controls food temperature precisely and automatically
- Supports multiple mixing methods for different recipes
- Reduces labor by automating repetitive tasks
- Scales from batch to batch with the same outcome
- Supports food safety through real-time temperature data and HACCP recording
