Electric deep fryer LOTUS BR1E200I

The LOTUS BR1E200I is a large-capacity electric bratt pan designed for professional cooking.

Bratt pans operate by heating a large, flat cooking surface (the pan) using integrated heating elements. This allows for a variety of cooking methods, including frying, braising, stewing, and holding food. The electric elements beneath the pan provide the heat, which is regulated to maintain a consistent cooking temperature. A cover is typically included to retain heat and moisture during cooking or for holding purposes.

To use the BR1E200I, food is placed directly into the stainless steel pan. The temperature is set using the thermostat control, which regulates the armoured stainless steel heating elements located beneath the pan. A safety thermostat is also present to cut off the electrical supply if a malfunction occurs, providing an additional layer of protection. Once cooking is complete, the contents can be removed from the pan. The counter-balanced cover can be lifted or lowered as needed.

The pan itself is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, a material known for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The cover is also made from AISI 304 stainless steel and is hinged to the main body, featuring a counter-balanced design for easier operation. Heating is provided by armoured stainless steel elements.

Temperature regulation is managed by a thermostat. A separate safety thermostat is fitted to interrupt the electrical supply in the event of a malfunction.

The power rating of 24.8 kW indicates the maximum electrical load the appliance will draw when operating at full capacity. The dimensions of 1600 mm in length, 900 mm in width, and 950 mm in height define the physical space the unit occupies. The 205-litre volume refers to the internal capacity of the cooking pan. Operating on a 400 V, 3 N electrical supply, the unit weighs 356 kg, indicating it is a substantial piece of equipment.

Cleaning of the AISI 304 stainless steel pan and cover can be carried out using standard kitchen cleaning procedures suitable for stainless steel surfaces. The hinged construction of the cover may facilitate access for cleaning.
