Bratt Pans

A bratt pan, sometimes called a braising pan or a tilting skillet is a super versatile piece of cooking equipment that is commonly found in commercial kitchens. A bratt pan has a large, shallow cooking surface and high sides so that it can be used for a bunch of different cooking methods like braising, frying, sauteing, boiling and steaming. Bratt pans are available in both electric and gas models so that you can find something that suits the unique needs of your commercial kitchen. 

What are the differences between gas and electric bratt pans?

Electric Bratt Pan: 

An electric bratt pan is powered by electricity and they’re known for having very precise temperature control and consistent heating. They allow for even distribution of heat across the entire cooking surface and they’re easy to operate so they’re well suited for a wide range of commercial kitchen environments. 

Gas Bratt Pan: 

Gas bratt pans are better known for their rapid heating and their responsive temperature control making them the most common choice for kitchens with high-volume demands. Gas bratt pans allow for chefs to change the temperature more quickly so they tend to be more versatile than electric bratt pans. 

What about tilting vs. not tilting? 

Tilting Bratt Pan: 

One of the most distinguishing things about the bratt pan is the tilting mechanism that allows the cooking surface to be tilted to make food transfer extra easy. Tilting bratt pans are great for removing cooked food or excess liquid from your cooking surface. The tilting feature improves efficiency and helps to reduce the risk of spills during cooking. 

Non-Tilting Bratt Pans: 

Non-tilting bratt pans, unlike the tilting version, have a fixed cooking surface and whilst they may not have the convenience of a built in tilting mechanism, they are still able to perform a wide range of cooking tasks. Non-tilting bratt pans are often chosen in commercial kitchens where space or budget constraints might be a consideration when shopping for a bratt pan.
