LOTUS Electric Deep Bratt Pan with Manual Tilt – 50 L Capacity

A deep bratt pan combines the functions of a frying pan, griddle, braising pan and stockpot in one large, shallow vessel. An electric element beneath the thick thermodiffuser base heats the entire cooking surface evenly, eliminating hot spots that can scorch food. The manual tilt mechanism allows the operator to pour liquids or slide solids out of the pan without lifting, reducing strain and spillage.

The sequence begins by filling the 50 L stainless steel bowl through the water inlet tap. The thermostatic control is set to the required temperature, up to 300 °C, and the pan is left to pre-heat. Ingredients are added directly to the bowl or placed in the pan with the hinged double-wall lid closed to retain heat. When cooking is complete, the pan is tilted manually up to 80° to discharge the contents into serving containers or gastronorm pans. The lid and bowl remain attached, so no separate handling is needed.

The unit is constructed from 18/10 AISI 304 chromium-nickel stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The 2 mm thick worktop has rounded edges, and chrome-plated components include the rear splashback. IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs are fitted to the front panel, which can be removed for access to internal parts. Adjustable flanged feet ensure stable installation on uneven floors.

A 10.5 kW power rating indicates a heavy load on a 400 V three-phase circuit, typical for professional kitchen equipment that must reach high temperatures quickly. The 50 L volume allows bulk cooking of sauces, stews or fried items without overcrowding. The 133 kg weight requires two operators or a trolley for safe movement, and the 800 × 705 × 900 mm footprint occupies a fixed space on the worktop or floor.

Cleaning involves wiping the splashback and worktop after each service. The front control panel is removed to access the element and thermodiffuser for periodic descaling. The water inlet tap is flushed to prevent limescale build-up, and the tilting mechanism is checked for smooth operation.

The BR50-78ET is a manual-tilt electric deep bratt pan with no variants listed. It is categorised under professional electric bratt pans in the LOTUS catalogue.
