Groen BPM-30EA 30 Gallon Tilt Skillet - Manual Tilt, Stainless Clad Pan, Open Leg Base

Groen builds the BPM-30EA as a 30-gallon tilting skillet standing on an open leg tubular frame. Steam is not part of the arrangement; electric elements heat the plate directly, so the pan comes up to temperature without a boiler behind it. Sauteing, simmering and finishing all run in the same vessel, which is the point of the format.

The cooking surface is 5/8 in of stainless clad plate, and that thickness is what spreads the heat instead of concentrating it under the burner. The body tilts on a manual crank driving a worm and gear, taking 24 turns to reach vertical. Groen states the pan depth at 10 Inch, and that depth is what lets a full load braise rather than fry.

Construction is heavy-duty type 304 stainless, welded into one piece rather than assembled, which is what makes cleaning a wash-down. The cooking surface itself is type 304 stainless clad plate, which takes a metal spatula without complaint. Three control packages are offered. Classic gives power and temperature, Advanced adds a timer and an LED display, and Cook2Temp adds a core probe for cooking to an internal reading. It carries UL, cUL and NSF listings.

The unit stands on an open leg tubular frame with height-adjustable bullet feet, so it levels on a floor that is not. It is offered for 208 V or 240 V, three phase service; choose the electrical option above. The pour side has to stay clear, because a pan or a kettle sits under the lip when the body goes over.
