LOTUS Electric Deep Bratt Pan 50 L with Manual Tilt BR50-78ETX

A deep bratt pan heats a large, shallow stainless-steel bowl with an electric element beneath a thick thermodiffuser plate. The diffuser spreads the heat evenly across the entire base, eliminating hot spots so that food cooks uniformly whether it is braised, shallow-fried, simmered or reduced. The wide, flat surface allows the operator to work with large batches of vegetables, sauces or proteins at once, while the deep sides contain splashes and retain steam for moist cooking.

The operator fills the 50 L pan from the built-in water inlet tap, sets the thermostatic control to the required temperature up to 300 °C, and loads the ingredients. A double-wall hinged lid can be closed to speed cooking or left open for stirring and monitoring. When the batch is finished, the manual tilt mechanism releases the pan to tip forward up to 80°, letting the contents slide out cleanly into a gastronorm tray or serving vessel without lifting or scraping.

The unit is built from 18/10 AISI 304 CrNi stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The 2 mm thick worktop has rounded edges, chrome-plated components and a rear splashback to protect the wall. IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs sit behind a removable front panel that gives access to all internal parts for cleaning and maintenance. Four adjustable flanged feet level the pan on uneven floors and prevent movement during tilting.

A 10.5 kW power rating draws a substantial load on a three-phase 400/440 V circuit, so the appliance is installed on a dedicated supply line in professional kitchens. The 50 L volume allows bulk cooking of sauces, stews or vegetables in a single batch. The 133 kg weight requires two operators to move the unit safely, and the 800 mm width, 705 mm depth and 900 mm height set the footprint it occupies on the worktop or floor.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then rinsing. The front control panel is removed to reach the element and thermodiffuser for descaling and inspection. The water inlet tap is flushed periodically to prevent lime build-up, and the tilt mechanism is checked for smooth operation.

The BR50-78ETX is a manual-tilt electric deep bratt pan in the LOTUS professional catering range.
