Bratt Pans: Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a commercial bratt pan and what's its purpose?
The commercial bratt pan, whether electric or gas-powered, is a vital piece of equipment for professional kitchens. It consists of a large rectangular container with a lid, perfect for slow cooking large quantities of food such as meat cuts, fish, and vegetables.
These pans effectively retain vapors within the chamber due to their tight seal and heavy lid. Crafted from AISI 304 stainless steel, our bratt pans are equipped with a tilting tank for effortless draining of braised foods. You can also utilize the tilting bratt pan in your professional kitchen to warm containers by placing them on top.

What can you cook in the commercial bratt pan?
To select the most suitable commercial bratt pan for your needs, consider factors such as:
Power supply: Decide whether to opt for a gas or electric bratt pan.
Depth: Choose from bratt pans available in 70 cm or 90 cm depths on Chefook.
Capacity: Our bratt pans start from a capacity of 55 Liters.
Gas bratt pans:
In gas bratt pans, the tank is heated by burners in direct contact with the bottom. Temperature adjustment ranges from 100°C to 300°C via a knob.
Safety features include a thermostat with a thermocouple that prevents gas leakage if the flame extinguishes. Please note that by law, installation of the chimney and extraction hood is necessary to use the gas bratt pan.
Electric bratt pans:
In electric bratt pans, the tank bottom is heated by armored resistors, with temperature adjustment from 45°C to 300°C.
A safety thermostat prevents the bratt pan from exceeding excessively high temperatures that could damage internal components. While installation of the extraction hood and chimney is not legally required for electric bratt pans, consulting the relevant ASL (Local Health Authority) is advisable.
What are the advantages of using a bratt pan for cooking?
The commercial bratt pan is highly beneficial for professional kitchens in restaurants, canteens, and food industries, allowing for the braising of large quantities of food with significant time and labor savings.
