Bratt Pans

Bratt pans are large, versatile cooking vessels commonly used in commercial kitchens for high-volume cooking. They are designed for sautéing, frying, simmering, and braising large quantities of food. Bratt pans typically feature a flat, wide cooking surface, allowing for even heat distribution, which makes them ideal for tasks like frying, searing, and reducing sauces.

Bratt pans can come in various designs, including:

• Bratt Pans on Wheels: These are mobile versions, allowing chefs to move the pan around the kitchen with ease.
• Bratt Pans on Legs: These provide a more permanent setup, offering stability and easy access to the cooking surface.
• Tilting Bratt Pans: These pans have a tilting mechanism that makes it easier to pour out the contents, reducing the strain on the cook.

They are often used in large-scale food service operations like hotels, catering businesses, and institutional kitchens for cooking a wide range of dishes, from stews to stir-fries.

How to Clean:
Cool the Pan: Let the pan cool slightly before cleaning.
Scrape Debris: Remove food with a non-abrasive scraper.
Soak: Fill with warm soapy water and let it soak.
Scrub: Use a soft brush or sponge to clean the surface.
Clean the Mechanism: Wipe down any tilt or leg mechanisms.
Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel.
Oil: Lightly oil the surface after cleaning to prevent rust.

When to Clean:
After Each Use: Clean after every cooking session to prevent buildup.
End of the Day: Clean thoroughly at day’s end.
Weekly Deep Clean: Do a deeper clean weekly, focusing on tough grease spots.

By maintaining this routine, your bratt pan stays in top condition for longer.

Bratt pans tilt to make the cooking process more efficient and convenient. The tilting feature allows chefs to easily pour or transfer food from the pan without the need for lifting or scooping, which reduces strain and improves safety. Here's why tilting is useful:

Effortless Pouring: Tilting the pan makes it easier to pour liquids, sauces, or food from the pan into containers or serving dishes, reducing the need for additional tools or manual handling.

Better Control: It gives the cook more control over the food being served or transferred, helping to avoid spills or messes.

Enhanced Versatility: The tilt mechanism allows the pan to be used for a wider variety of tasks, including braising, simmering, and finishing dishes, where precise pouring is essential.

Cleaning Convenience: Tilting the pan also helps during cleaning, as it allows for more thorough removal of food debris and grease, particularly when combined with the pan's overall design.

Overall, a tilting bratt pan improves the workflow in the kitchen, making both cooking and cleanup easier.
