Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Hotel in Brighton was struggling with an ageing, manually operated bratt pan that was becoming a bottleneck during their busy wedding season. They needed a larger, safer, and  more efficient solution to keep up with demand for their large-scale banquet services.

"The Blue Seal bratt pan has been brilliant. The electric tilt is so much safer for the team, and  the temperature control is spot on. We can confidently cook a perfect beef bourguignon for 200 people without any hassle. It's just a solid, reliable machine."

Robert Davies – Executive Head Chef

After installation, the kitchen successfully increased its main course banquet output by 30% per service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit must be installed and  hardwired by a qualified commercial catering electrician.
  • Ensure it is positioned on a level, stable floor capable of supporting its 180kg weight.
  • Allow adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and  safe operation of the tilting mechanism.
  • Connect to a suitable 400/415V, 3-phase power supply as specified on the data plate.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean the stainless steel pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water after every use.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive scourers which can damage the pan's surface.
  • Periodically check that the lid hinge and  tilting mechanism are moving freely.
  • Schedule an annual service with a qualified engineer to inspect electrical components and  overall function.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bratt Pan

Not sure which bratt pan is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider to make the perfect choice.

Capacity vs. Covers

Think about your busiest service. An 80 litre tilting bratt pan like this is ideal for kitchens serving 200+ covers, ensuring you can cook in one large, efficient batch.

Gas or Electric?

Electric models offer precise thermostatic control, while gas can offer faster heat-up times. Check your kitchen’s available connections and  running costs before you decide.

Manual vs. Electric Tilt

For large capacity pans, an electric tilt is a must-have for safety and  ease of use. It eliminates manual handling risks and  ensures a controlled, spill-free pour every time.

Measure Your Space

Bratt pans have a significant footprint. Measure your intended space carefully, remembering to account for clearance for tilting and  access for cleaning.

Build Quality

Look for a heavy-duty stainless steel construction. A thick pan base on a blue seal evolution tilting bratt pan ensures even heat distribution and  long-term durability in a tough environment.
