Groen BPM-40EA 40 Gallon Tilt Skillet - Manual Tilt, Stainless Clad Pan, Open Leg Base

The crank tilt is the first thing that separates the BPM-40EA from the rest of the range, and the pan behind it holds 40 gallons. Heating is by electric elements, which keeps the utility list short and the recovery quick. Where it pays for itself is the day the menu turns on one large braise instead of forty plated portions.

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. At 10 Inch of pan depth there is room for stock over the top of a full load.

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. Groen offers Classic, Advanced and Cook2Temp control packages, which is a decision about how much of the cook is left to the operator. At sign-off it answers to 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 or 240 V, three phase service; choose the electrical option above. Leave the front open: a full tilt puts the lip out over whatever is standing there.
