The Hobart Bonnet 205GB-10 is a high speed commercial steamer designed for kitchens where cooking pace and consistency under pressure matter. Operating on a half GN capacity, it uses an accelerated steaming method to cook ingredients quickly while maintaining the moisture and texture quality that conventional steamers can achieve only at longer cycle times. The result is a steamer that punches above its footprint in a working kitchen environment.

In service, the 205GB-10 is well suited to operations where speed is critical and counter or pass space is limited. Its 18kW output supports rapid heat-up and consistent recovery between batches, which matters during back-to-back covers when a steamer cannot afford to sit cycling. The stainless steel construction holds up well under daily commercial use and is straightforward to keep clean between services.

For kitchen operators, the practical advantages include:

  • Fast cycle times that reduce lag between prep and service
  • Consistent cooking results across repeated batches
  • Compact build suited to tight pass or counter configurations
  • Robust stainless steel construction for daily commercial use
  • Reliable performance during sustained high-volume service periods

At 69kg and with a footprint of 600mm wide by 700mm deep, the unit requires a stable, level surface and adequate clearance for steam venting. Given the 18kW electrical draw, a dedicated supply and appropriate isolation will be needed — this is not a unit to connect to a standard ring circuit, and installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician familiar with commercial kitchen environments.

The 205GB-10 is best suited to mid-sized operations such as hotel kitchens, contract caterers, and restaurant kitchens where speed and reliability are valued over raw volume capacity. For sites requiring larger GN capacity or multi-level steaming, a higher-capacity model in the range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this model fits your service volume or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 205GB-10 suitable for high-volume service, or is it better for lighter use?

The 205GB-10 is designed for mid-volume commercial kitchens where speed matters but the overall throughput requirement doesn't demand a multi-GN steamer. It performs well in hotel kitchens, restaurants, and contract catering environments running consistent covers. For operations with significantly higher volume or a need to steam multiple GN loads simultaneously, a larger-capacity unit would be a more practical fit.

What are the installation requirements for the 205GB-10?

The unit draws 18kW, which requires a dedicated electrical supply and professional installation by a qualified electrician — it cannot be run from a standard circuit. You will also need to ensure adequate ventilation or steam extraction is in place, as high speed steamers produce significant steam output during operation. The unit weighs 69kg, so positioning and commissioning should be planned accordingly.

Does the high speed steaming process affect food quality compared to conventional steaming?

The accelerated steaming method used in the 205GB-10 is designed to deliver consistent, high-quality results across a range of ingredients, with moisture retention comparable to conventional steaming. Many operators find that the reduced cycle times actually help preserve texture, particularly with vegetables and delicate proteins, by minimising the risk of overcooking during busy service.
