Electric Pans for Ships

Electric pans for ships provide the capacity for cooking, sautéing and braising large volumes of food in a ship’s galley without the need to use a hob surface. An internally heated braising pan allows the chef to efficiently handle large quantities of meat, vegetables or fish simultaneously at a consistent temperature.

Types of electric pans for ships

Professional electric pans for ships are available in various types to suit culinary needs. Electric braising pan — a large, flat frying pan with deep sides and a lid; allows frying, sautéing and braising large volumes of food with precise temperature control. Electric tilt skillet — a pan with a hydraulic or mechanical tilting mechanism for easy emptying without manual lifting. Electric large-capacity braising pan — a high-capacity pan (40–100 l) for feeding large numbers of people on ferries or large ships. Compact electric work pan — a medium-sized appliance for preparing crew meals. Also explore electric hobs for ships.

Marine technical parameters

Marine versions of electric pans have special technical parameters for safe operation in sea conditions. AISI 316 stainless steel — used for the pan bowl, frame and lid construction; enhanced corrosion resistance in salt-air environments. Lid fixation — a mechanical locking system that prevents the lid from opening during ship movement; an important safety feature in case of hot fat or sautéing liquid. Pan fastening — a screw or clamp system on the worktop or station; prevents the pan from shifting. Heating temperature — precise thermostatic control from 50°C to 300°C; depends on frying and sautéing requirements. Total power — 3–12 kW depending on the pan’s capacity and model.

Advantages compared to pans on hobs

An electric pan for ships offers several advantages compared to using a frying pan on a hob surface. More even heating — the built-in heating element ensures a consistent temperature across the entire pan surface, preventing hot spots or cold zones. Greater capacity — an electric braising pan holds significantly more food than a standard hob pan. Easier cleaning — a pan with a mechanical tilting mechanism allows emptying the contents without heavy manual work. Precise temperature control — the thermostatic system maintains an accurate temperature, which is important for sautéing and braising. Also explore pot holders for ships.

HoReCa usage scenarios
