Groen BPP-40EC 40 Gallon Tilt Skillet - Power Tilt, Stainless Clad Pan, Open Leg Base, 208V 3-Phase

One pan on the BPP-40EC stands in for a stock pot, a griddle and a braising oven at once, all of it at 40 gallons. Heating is by electric elements, which keeps the utility list short and the recovery quick. It takes the pots off the range and the sheet pans out of the oven at the same time.

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. Flat bar elements sit against the underside of the plate, and that arrangement is what keeps the floor of the pan at one temperature. The body is driven over by a motor on a 3-position control switch, and a manual override is fitted behind it. The pan is 10 Inch deep, enough freeboard to bring a full charge to a simmer without losing it over the lip.

Type 304 stainless, solid and one-piece welded, is what the pan body is made from. Type 304 stainless lines the pan, with the clad plate forming the cooking floor. 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.

The unit stands on an open leg tubular frame with height-adjustable bullet feet, so it levels on a floor that is not. 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. Power is 208 V three phase, fixed at the time of order. Leave the front open: a full tilt puts the lip out over whatever is standing there.
