LOTUS Gas Multifunction Fixed Braising Pan BRF-98G

A gas-powered braising pan holds a shallow, fixed tank over a direct flame, distributing heat evenly across the base to cook large batches of food without scorching. The flame heats the metal tank, which transfers energy to the contents, allowing simultaneous frying, sautéing, simmering and sauce reduction. A thermostat controls the gas flow, maintaining a steady temperature for consistent results across long service periods. The fixed design eliminates moving parts, reducing maintenance and ensuring stability during heavy use.

To operate, the pan is first levelled using the adjustable legs. The gas supply is connected and the pilot light ignited via the piezo starter. The thermostat is set to the required temperature, up to 300 °C, and the pan preheated. Ingredients are loaded into the 10 cm-deep tank, which holds a broad, flat surface for even cooking. The raised rear edge contains splashes, while the rounded corners prevent trapped food and simplify cleaning. During cooking, the thermodiffusion base spreads heat uniformly, preventing hot spots. Exhaust gases are vented through the rear flue, keeping the kitchen atmosphere clear. Once cooking is complete, the removable liquid collection tray catches drips for easy disposal.

The 70x68x10 cm tank provides a large, flat cooking area for bulk preparation, accommodating multiple pans or direct food contact. The 18 kW power rating requires a dedicated gas line, suitable for high-demand kitchens where rapid heat recovery is essential. The 129 kg weight indicates a robust, floor-standing unit, designed to remain stable during vigorous stirring or heavy loads. The 800x900x900 mm footprint occupies a fixed position on the worktop, requiring allocated space for installation and ventilation access.

Construction is entirely stainless steel, including the 2 mm-thick work surface, which resists corrosion and withstands frequent cleaning. The Scotch-Brite satin finish reduces glare and hides minor scratches, while chrome-plated details enhance durability. The removable front control panel allows access to internal components for servicing. A conversion kit for alternative gas types is included, along with a final cover element for safe storage.

Cleaning involves removing the liquid collection tray and wiping down the tank and work surface with a non-abrasive cloth. The rounded corners and raised edges prevent debris accumulation, while the removable panel simplifies access to internal parts. The pan is designed for daily use in restaurants, hotels and catering operations, where consistent heat and large capacity are critical.
