Bratt pan is a heavy-duty industrial cooking appliance that can perform multiple functions: boiling, steaming, stewing, simmering, roasting, poaching, braising, shallow frying and deep frying. They all possess a tilting feature, which is either electrically or hand operated. Bratt pans are typically found in commercial establishments where mass catering is required such as restaurants, canteens, hospitals and schools.[1]
The term ‘bratt pan’ stems from the German word for fry – ‘brat’. Bratt pans contain rectangular deep pots with counter-balanced lids which you can pull down. The heating source is powered through gas or electrical means.[2]
