Electric Deep Pans

Electric deep pans — an electric large-capacity pan is an essential appliance in large kitchens where food quantities exceed the capacity of a standard hob pot; electric heating ensures a stable temperature across the entire base of the vessel, which is an advantage for uniform sauce or porridge preparation; the tilting mechanism significantly facilitates the transfer of contents to the next appliance or serving container in HoReCa kitchens.

Advantages of electric heating in a deep pan

Electric deep pans — electric heating in a deep pan differs from gas heating in several aspects that determine its suitability for specific kitchens and types of food. Precise temperature control — an electric thermostat provides more precise and stable temperature maintenance than a gas flame; this is important for sensitive cooking processes (béchamel sauces, caramel, chocolate melting). Uniform heat distribution — electric elements ensure even heat across the entire base of the vessel. BHS provides electric deep pans.

Tilting mechanism — efficient emptying of contents

Electric deep pans — the tilting mechanism is one of the most important features of a professional deep pan, distinguishing it from a standard pot. Manual tilting — with a handle, the pan tilts slowly forward; food flows out over the front edge directly into a container or distribution area; one person can empty the pan without heavy lifting. Motorised tilting — in more advanced models, tilting is performed by an electric motor; with a single switch movement, the pan empties in a controlled manner; safer with very full or very hot contents; see Gas Deep Pans.

HACCP and safety requirements for electric deep pans

Electric deep pans — cooking large quantities of hot food requires strict HACCP control and compliance with electrical safety requirements. Temperature control — food must be heated to at least +75°C before serving; the pan is equipped with a thermostat that is regulated and checked; any deviation from the planned temperature is documented. Electrical installation — high power (8–20 kW) requires a three-phase 380V connection with an appropriate circuit breaker; regular electrical equipment inspection by a certified electrician. Cleaning — after each shift, the pan is completely emptied and washed; regular inspection of the tilting mechanism and sealing components.

HoReCa usage scenarios for electric deep pans

School or university canteen — in a school or university canteen, an electric deep pan prepares soups, porridges and stews daily for hundreds of pupils or students; stable electric heating ensures consistent food quality; BHS provides electric deep pans. Hospital or care facility kitchen — in a hospital kitchen without gas, an electric pan is essential for preparing large quantities of diet meals. Catering company for events with electricity — for a catering company, an electric pan is useful if only electricity is available at the event; BHS supplies the products. BHS offers electric deep pans for HoReCa businesses across Europe.

Frequently asked questions

Is an electric deep pan slower than its gas counterpart? Electric deep pans — an electric pan heats up more slowly than a gas pan; the heating time for an electric model may be 10–15 minutes longer; however, once the temperature is reached, electric elements maintain it more precisely than a gas flame; the choice depends on priorities; see Gas Deep Pans.

What electrical connection is required for an electric deep pan? Electric deep pans — a 380V three-phase connection with a 16–32A circuit breaker is usually required, depending on the model's power; check the specific electrical parameters with BHS specialists before purchase; see Cooking Pans.
