Tilting Skillets

Braising pans, also known as tilting skillets, are versatile restaurant appliances that are useful for cooking large volumes of food in a short period of time. Tilting skillets are great for preparing braised meats and pasta dishes, as well as soups, stews and more. The applications of a braising pan are immense and are commonly used to braise, fry, or grill different food items. They are a favorite amongst schools, hotels, hospitals and restaurants, as they can evenly cook and hold large quantities of food.

You can choose your tilting skillet by selecting an ideal capacity. The capacity is usually rated based on gallon size, with the range of gallon sizes typically falling between ten and sixty gallons. Mid-sized tilting skillets, ranging from thirty to forty gallons, are the most commonly used variety, as they offer great versatility while using limited space in your commercial kitchen.

Vulcan brand tilt skillets are very popular, especially their V Series of braising pans. The V Series is a stainless steel, fully-welded model that has a satin interior and exterior finish. It is effectively an all-in-one kettle, skillet and griddle solution that can be used to prepare every meal – from breakfast to dinner. Cleveland tilt skillets offer similar versatility, but their braising pans come in both floor and countertop models. While floor models are larger and offer greater capacity, tabletop models are similarly powerful and take up less space in your kitchen.
