Groen BPP-30EC 30 Gallon Tilt Skillet - Power Tilt, Stainless Clad Pan, Open Leg Base, 208V 3-Phase

At 30 gallons the BPP-30EC 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. Flat bar electric heating elements are fitted to the underside of the clad plate, so the heat is laid across the floor as a pattern rather than a point. The body is driven over by a motor on a 3-position control switch, and a manual override is fitted behind it. Pan depth is 10 Inch, which is the figure that decides whether a braise sits in its own liquor or above it.

The body is type 304 stainless in solid one-piece welded construction, so there is no internal seam for fond to lodge in. Type 304 stainless lines the pan, with the clad plate forming the cooking floor. 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. 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. Faucet mounting is bracketed for right-side, left-side or right-rear position, so the fill point follows the plumbing rather than the other way round. Electrically it is 208 V three phase, which in most kitchens means a dedicated circuit rather than a receptacle. Where it is sited is decided by the route the filled pans take out of it.
