Gas Deep Pans

Gas Deep Pans — a large-capacity gas deep pan is an indispensable appliance in large professional kitchens where meals need to be prepared daily for hundreds or thousands of people; gas heating ensures fast heating and high heat output for processing large quantities; the tilting mechanism significantly facilitates the transfer of prepared food to the next appliance or serving container in HoReCa businesses.

Gas deep pan construction and tilting

Gas Deep Pans — a deep pan is a robust stainless-steel rectangular vessel mounted on a sturdy stainless-steel frame with gas burners underneath. Capacity — the typical capacity of a professional deep pan is 40–150 l; the largest models can hold up to 200 l or more; the right capacity is chosen based on the average number of portions. Tilting mechanism — the deep pan can be tilted forward using a handle or an electric motor; when the pan is tilted, the food flows out from the front open edge of the vessel; this eliminates the need to lift heavy hot food with a ladle; see Cooking Pans. BHS supplies gas deep pans.

Advantages of gas heating in a deep pan

Gas Deep Pans — gas heating for a deep pan offers several advantages over electric heating in intensive high-volume cooking. Fast heating — gas heats the deep pan significantly faster than an electric heating element; this is important when there are several cooking shifts per day. High power — gas burners can provide high energy output continuously; boiling large quantities of water or sauce is faster. Precise control — gas flames can be instantly increased or reduced; see Electric Deep Pans as an alternative.
