Electric boiling pot BHS-G GK110500-080EV

A boiling pan heats water in a sealed jacket that wraps around the cooking tank. The water jacket transfers heat evenly to the polished stainless steel tank, preventing hot spots and scorching. Steam pressure builds inside the jacket, raising the boiling point of the water and allowing the pan to reach higher temperatures than an open vessel. This method cooks large batches of soups, stews, pasta or vegetables quickly and uniformly without constant stirring.

The operator connects the cold and hot water taps to the supply, then selects either automatic or manual filling of the water jacket. Once the jacket is filled to the correct level, the heating elements warm the water, creating steam pressure. The lid is closed and the desired food temperature is set on the control panel. Ingredients are loaded through the pressed balanced lid, which seals the tank and prevents steam escaping. A safety valve releases excess pressure, while a pressure gauge shows the current level inside the jacket. When cooking is complete, the drain valve removes the food, and the water jacket can be emptied through its own tap.

The body and cooking tank are made of high-quality stainless steel, with the tank bottom polished for easy cleaning. The heating elements are INCOLOY 800 steel, chosen for resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. A thermal cut-out prevents overheating, and electrochemical protection safeguards the water jacket against rust. The legs are round stainless steel, adjustable in height to level the appliance on uneven floors. A water drain in the worktop collects spills, and a treated water connection allows for softened or filtered supply.

Controls include a food temperature adjustment, water level indicator with alarm, and a pressure gauge for monitoring the jacket. The maximum food level is marked inside the pan to prevent overfilling. The appliance connects to a three-phase 400 V supply, drawing 9.2 kW during operation. Its footprint of 800 mm by 730 mm fits standard worktop layouts, while the 850 mm height (1380 mm with lid open) allows comfortable access for loading and unloading.

Cleaning involves draining the cooking tank and water jacket, then wiping the polished surfaces with a soft cloth. The drain valve and water tap are designed for easy disassembly, and the pressed lid lifts off for thorough access. Optional end plates can be fitted to the left or right side to integrate the pan into a run of equipment.

A manual-fill version of the same pan is available under article GK110500-080EV, for kitchens without a permanent water connection.
