Braising Pans with New Electronic Controls
Equipped with new electronic controls that allow operators to achieve more precise temperatures for maximum cooking consistency, Groen braising pans combine the functions of a skillet and a kettle into one versatile, high-performance, commercial cooking solution — one that braises, roasts, boils, pan-fries, grills, sautés, steams and holds with ease. In fact, it’s the perfect back-up for nearly any piece of cooking equipment around the kitchen.
Both the Classic and Advanced electronic controls reduce temperature variation to improve their food quality and consistency while reducing labor and food costs. The Advanced controls have a digital timer and temperature pre-sets that allow operators to deliver consistent, repeatable results from chef to chef and shift to shift. Both have an IPX6 water-resistant control panel that minimizes repair bills and other costs of downtime, including added stress, removing menu items and potentially losing current and future business.
Each braising pan features a 3” radius coved corners — the widest in the industry — allowing operators to easily move food product inside the pan without etching the inner sidewalls. This eliminates troublesome cleaning spots and corner food buildup often found with competitors’ models. An ergonomic design positions everything in view, and IPX6 water-resistant control housing protects the electronics from humidity and spray downs during nightly cleaning of the equipment, which increases reliability and food safety.
Groen braising pans are easy to clean, easy to use and help save time and labor, making them an indispensable part of today’s high-volume foodservice operations. Groen braising pans have consistently been recognized as Best-in-Class by foodservice operators and chefs, most recently in 2016 by Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine.
