Groen BPM-15EC 15 Gallon Tilt Skillet - Manual Tilt, Stainless Clad Pan, Open Leg Base

At 15 gallons the BPM-15EC takes on production that a range top cannot carry in one vessel. Heating is by electric elements, which keeps the utility list short and the recovery quick. Sauteing, simmering and finishing all run in the same vessel, which is the point of the format.

Groen lays 5/8 in of stainless clad plate across the bottom, which holds temperature when a cold load goes in. The body tilts on a manual crank driving a worm and gear, taking 24 turns to reach vertical. Pan depth is 8 Inch, which is the figure that decides whether a braise sits in its own liquor or above it.

Groen welds the pan body from type 304 stainless in a single piece, and a one-piece body is one less joint to scrub. Inside, the liner is type 304 stainless over the clad plate. Controls are specified with the order in three tiers: Classic with a power and temperature knob, Advanced adding a timer and an LED display, and Cook2Temp adding a core probe. The listings on the sheet are UL, cUL and NSF.

It sits on open tubular legs with adjustable bullet feet, and the clear space beneath them is what keeps the area cleanable. It is offered for 208 V, single or three phase service; choose the electrical option above. Where it is sited is decided by the route the filled pans take out of it.
