Groen TD/FPC Tilt Skillet - Countertop, 208V 3-Phase

The TD/FPC is a table top tilting skillet driven by electric elements under a clad cooking plate, and it works at the height a cook already stands at. Groen does not publish a single resolved capacity figure for the pan, so none is stated here. What it is bought for is sauteing, braising and finishing in batch without giving up floor space to do it.

The cooking plate is 3/8 in of stainless clad steel, thick enough to carry heat across the whole floor rather than lifting it under one element. Tilting is manual, with nothing powered in the mechanism to fail or service. Control is thermostatic, and the heat shuts off automatically once the set temperature is reached; a hi-limit thermostat sits behind that as the second line.

The pan body is type 304 stainless in solid one-piece welded heavy-duty construction, with the interior polished to a 100 emery grit finish and the exterior taken to a #3 finish. Type 304 stainless at 100 emery grit is what the food touches. The base is stainless throughout. The listings on the sheet are UL, cUL and NSF.

The footprint to allow is 28-1/2 Inch wide by 24 Inch deep, which is the bench space to mark out before anything else is placed on it. Electrically the unit is 208 V three phase, so the circuit is part of the project rather than an afterthought. The bench underneath has to carry the skillet loaded, not empty.
