LOTUS Electric Multi-Function Fixed Braising Pan BRF-98ET

A fixed braising pan heats a shallow stainless-steel tank from below with electric elements, creating an even cooking surface that holds liquids and solids together. The heat spreads through the metal base and rises into the food, allowing slow simmering, shallow frying or gentle reduction without scorching. Because the tank is fixed, the entire volume is usable and the weight of the pan keeps it stable on the worktop while the operator stirs or turns large batches of meat, vegetables or sauces.

The sequence starts by filling the tank to the required depth, then setting the thermostat to the target temperature. Once the elements reach the set point, the pan maintains it automatically, so the operator can load ingredients, stir periodically and monitor doneness. After cooking, the pan is emptied through a drain tap or by tilting the front edge, and the removable drip tray beneath catches any residual liquid for easy disposal.

Construction is 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel throughout, with a 2 mm thick satin-finish work surface that resists scratches and corrosion. Edges are rounded and chrome-plated details protect corners and handles. The control panel is IPX5 water-resistant, allowing safe wipe-downs with a damp cloth. Adjustable legs at each corner level the unit on uneven floors, and the entire front panel lifts away to expose internal parts for cleaning or maintenance.

The 15 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase circuit, the standard supply for professional kitchens that run multiple high-demand appliances simultaneously. The 126 kg weight keeps the pan stable during vigorous stirring but still allows two people to reposition it when needed. The 800 mm width and 900 mm depth fit within a standard worktop footprint, leaving space for adjacent prep areas or pass-through counters.

Cleaning follows from the materials and construction: the stainless-steel tank and drip tray are removed, washed in a sink or dishwasher, and dried before reassembly. The control panel is wiped with a damp cloth, avoiding direct water jets. The adjustable legs are checked periodically to ensure the pan remains level and stable.

The BRF-98ET is a single model with no variants. It is categorised under fixed braising pans in the LOTUS professional catering range.
