Restaurant overflow nights, festival vendor booths, church fundraiser boils, full-service catering — whatever's putting the crowd in front of you, HPC's commercial line is built to keep pace with it, not just survive it.
Every size below is a real, separate build — each with its own page where you can add electronic ignition, wheels, a custom logo, or a bigger burner. These are built to order, so the fastest way to lock one in is a quick call.

Not sure which size fits your kitchen? Capacity figures are approximate per batch and vary with what you're cooking alongside it. These are built to order — the fastest way to get the right size locked in is a quick call with our team.
The patented Tunnel Tube design pulls heat evenly across a much bigger surface, so a 100+ gallon pot heats as reliably as a small one.
Our largest units bring 75 gallons of water from 85° to a rolling boil in under 15 minutes, using about 2.6 gallons of propane.
Built-in commercial burners rated 375K–750K BTU depending on size — sized to the pot, not just maxed out for a spec sheet.
| HPC Commercial | Typical Commercial Setup | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to rolling boil (75 gal) | Under 15 min | Up to 45 min |
| Pot construction | 3/16" (4.7mm) heavy-duty aluminum | Standard gauge |
| Burner | Built-in, 375K–750K BTU | Often separate, underpowered |
| Warranty | 2-year full coverage | Typically 1 year |
| Multi-use | Crawfish, shrimp, crab, lobster, wings, turkey | Usually single-purpose |
Same pot, different reason it's running. Here's where commercial buyers actually put these to work.
When the regular kitchen can't keep up with a crawfish special or a weekend seafood push, a commercial boiler is the release valve.
Sized to serve a real crowd without needing three separate pots going at once — built-in burner, one setup, one line.
High-volume, high-turnover cooking in a compact footprint — built for a booth that doesn't get to slow down.
Consistent batches, predictable timing — the two things a catering crew actually needs from their equipment.
A versatile cooker for crab, shrimp, crawfish, lobster, and other food like chicken wings and turkey — not locked into one menu.
When it's not crawfish season, the same pot still earns its keep — frying, boiling, or steaming whatever's next on the menu.
Each size's product page lets you add these directly — here's what's available across the line.
Four quick questions. No receipts needed. Real dollars, not percentages.
| Metric | Typical setup | HPC 80 Gal |
|---|---|---|
| Lbs per batch | ~90 lbs | 205 lbs |
| Time per batch* | ~55 min | ~25 min |
| Batches to finish your day | 7 | 3 |
| Fuel per day (est.) | 20.3 gal | 4.7 gal |
| Crew time per day (est.)* | 6.4 hrs | 1.3 hrs |
We keep the math conservative and out in the open:
Real HPC commercial customers, interviewed by phone. Numbers as reported by the owners themselves.
Reports running up to ~4,000 lbs/day on busy boil-season weekends.
Reports the same 7 cooking hours per day as before — roughly 2.5× the output in the same time.
Reports refilling tanks only every 5th boil now.
Reports ~5 boils a day at the peak of boil season — running 2:30–6:30 PM nonstop on two 60-gal units.
Customer-reported results from interviews with HPC commercial owners, August 2026. Individual results vary.

If you're boiling at this volume, you're probably purging and cleaning at this volume too. The Crawcuzzi automates it — worth a look alongside whichever size you land on.
These are built to order — a quick call is the fastest way to get the right size locked in and moving.
