Groen BPM-40G Eclipse Braising Pan

The Groen BPM-40G Eclipse Braising Pan is engineered for high-performance and versatility, making it an essential piece of equipment in commercial kitchens. This 40-gallon gas braising pan features a durable, heavy-duty 304 stainless steel construction with a solid, one-piece welded design. The 5/8” thick stainless steel clad cooking surface is built to prevent warping and distortion, even under the stress of frequent use. The 144,000 BTU/hr gas burner provides powerful, consistent heat, while the specially designed welded heat transfer fins ensure uniform heat distribution across the entire cooking surface, making it ideal for braising, roasting, searing, and simmering.

The pan body has a 10” depth, with 3” radius corners for easy stirring and cleaning. Inside the pan, graduated fill-level marks in both gallons and litres provide precise measurements, aiding in consistency and accuracy during food preparation. The interior of the pan is polished with a 100-emery grit finish for maximum ease of cleaning, while the exterior sports a #3 finish for a sleek, professional look.

This model is designed with a manual crank tilt mechanism, allowing for smooth and precise control when pouring or serving. The braising pan can tilt past vertical, ensuring easy cleaning and maintenance. For added safety, the Groen BPM-40G features an IPX6-rated water-resistant control panel, making it durable and resilient in the face of tough kitchen conditions. The controls are located in a right-front mounted enclosure, and include a power ON/OFF switch, temperature control knob with a range of 175°F to 400°F (79°C to 204°C), and an indicator light that signals when the desired temperature is reached.
