In the fast-moving world of liquid food processing, manufacturers are under constant pressure to improve efficiency, reduce energy use, and deliver consistently high-quality products. One technology that’s proving to be a true game changer is the Jet Cook™ system, developed in the UK by DC Norris.

Using advanced steam technology, Jet Cook™ offers an innovative approach to cooking and mixing liquid products – delivering speed, consistency, and sustainability benefits that far surpass traditional methods.

Revolutionary Advanced Steam Cooking

At the heart of the DC Norris Jet Cook system is a patented advanced steam technology that delivers rapid heating, mixing, and pumping in a single, highly efficient process.

High-velocity steam is atomised into over seven trillion droplets per second through a specially designed steam conditioning chamber and annular nozzle. As the steam collapses into the product, it creates a partial vacuum, pulling the product through the system and back into the vessel—simultaneously heating and mixing without mechanical agitation.

With 99.5% of the steam’s energy transferred directly into the product, manufacturers benefit from:

  • Faster processing times – typically 50% quicker than conventional methods
  • Up to 52.5% energy savings
  • Improved product quality and particulate integrity
  • Fewer processing stages and reduced cleaning requirements

Enhanced Product Quality and Consistency

Uniform heating and precision control are key strengths of the Jet Cook system. By achieving even distribution of temperature throughout the batch, it ensures:

  • Superior texture and mouthfeel
  • Improved flavour development
  • Strong emulsions
  • Reduced particulate damage
  • Minimal risk of overcooking or uneven heating

These qualities are essential in products like soups, sauces, purées, and beverages, where ingredient integrity and consistency are paramount.

Significant Energy and Resource Savings

Sustainability is a major focus in food production today, and Jet Cook™ helps manufacturers meet these goals without compromising performance. The system:

  • Reduces energy usage by up to 52%
  • Requires significantly less water for cleaning, thanks to zero burn-on contamination
  • Decreases waste and improves overall plant efficiency

These savings translate to lower operational costs and a reduced environmental footprint—key benefits for food producers aiming to future-proof their processes.

Versatility Across Liquid Food Applications

Jet Cook™ is not limited to one product type. Its adaptable design allows it to process a wide range of liquid food products with ease, including:

  • Sauces, gravies, and soups
  • Dairy and non-dairy beverages
  • Plant-based recipes and baby foods
  • Ready meals and functional nutrition products
  • Animal and insect food

Whether you’re scaling up production or developing a new product range, the Jet Cook system offers the flexibility to handle diverse recipes while maintaining consistency and quality.

Flexible Integration Options

The Jet Cook™ system can be tailored to suit a wide range of production setups. It can be used in-tank as part of a DCN Kettle System or in-line for continuous single-pass heating. The system can also be retro-fitted to existing equipment, offering manufacturers a cost-effective upgrade path without major plant modifications.

Installed across global food manufacturing facilities—from the UK and Europe to the Middle East, Australia, and North America – Jet Cook™ is helping producers transform how liquid food products are made.

Why Jet Cook™ Is the Future of Liquid Food Processing

As consumer demands evolve and production targets grow more ambitious, food manufacturers need equipment that can keep up. The DC Norris Jet Cook system delivers unmatched performance in speed, quality, sustainability, and flexibility – making it a powerful solution for modern liquid food processing.
