An NSF listing (NSF/ANSI 4 for cooking equipment) shows the machine was tested for food-service sanitation, and many health departments look for one at a concession stand, school or venue. These machines cost several times a home machine of the same kettle size, but they pair high heating power with a stated listing and, in Paragon’s case, a published warranty. Check your local health department’s rules before you buy.
