Groen BPM-40GC 40 gal. Tilt Skillet - Open Leg Base, Polished Pan, Measurement Marks, Natural Gas

The Groen BPM-40GC tilting braising pan has a large, 40-gallon capacity that can be used to braise, fry, boil, simmer, and steam large batches of food in a cafeteria. Clad in stainless steel and ⁵⁄₈ inch thick, the cooking plate is resistant to warping as it is repeatedly heated up by the unit's gas burner and combustion chamber. To facilitate cleaning by eliminating debris-trapping crevices, the pan is 10 inches deep and has coved corners. Marks in gallons and liters are etched into the pan so users can measure ingredients.

Because this braising pan tilts, it conveniently empties cooked contents into separate pans and containers. Tilting is manual through an integrated hand crank, which is less smooth than electric, automatic tilting but more economical. To improve tilt precision and reduce sloshing, this unit has a worm-and-gear tilt mechanism. It tilts to a vertical position when the crank is turned 24 times, and it can be tilted past vertical to facilitate cleaning. If the operation requires griddling, the pan can be tilted 7 degrees with the heating element on, enabling cooking while grease moves toward the front.

The tilt crank on this Groen BPM-40GC tilt skillet is positioned with the rest of the controls in a water-resistant enclosure. These controls are user friendly and include an on/off power switch. Indicator lights denote when the unit is on and when the burner is heating. Ranging from 175 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature in the pan can be adjusted on a temperature control knob.

To increase durability, this unit is made of welded stainless steel. Its tubular legs maintain stability on uneven floors with their bullet feet, and the open base ensures the floor underneath is accessible for cleaning. Although it must be purchased separately, a faucet can be installed on the included bracket. Adding a faucet provides a constant supply of water for recipes and cleaning; it can be a single-pantry faucet for either hot or cold water or a double-pantry faucet for hot and cold water.
