Commercial boilers and pans are the workhorses of professional kitchens across the UK, handling everything from stews and soups to pasta and vegetables in high volumes. Built with robust stainless steel construction and powerful heating elements (typically 6-15kW), these versatile cooking stations dramatically increase kitchen efficiency. After 50 years of kitting out restaurants, hotels and catering companies, we've seen how these industrial-strength pans pair brilliantly with range cookers and prep tables for a complete cooking setup. For busy kitchens serving large portions or batch cooking, commercial boilers deliver consistent results while handling the daily demands of professional food service.

Commercial boilers and pans operate on a brilliantly straightforward principle. A powerful heating element—gas or electric depending on the model—heats either directly or via a jacket of water or oil surrounding the cooking vessel. Most professional models offer precise temperature control from 50-300°C, with tilting mechanisms that make serving and emptying effortless. The heat spreads evenly through the thick-bottomed pan, preventing hot spots and burning. Many modern units feature double-walled insulation to retain heat efficiency, while thermostatic controls maintain your exact cooking temperature—perfect for delicate sauces or hearty stews that need consistent, controlled heat!

To maximise your boiler's performance, always preheat properly before adding ingredients—this prevents food sticking and promotes even cooking. When using tilting models, ensure the area around is clear and staff are trained on safe operation techniques. Regular descaling is crucial in hard water areas, while daily cleaning prevents flavour transfer. For better results, invest in quality cooking utensils with extended handles to keep hands away from steam, and always follow manufacturer guidance on maximum fill levels.
