Blodgett BLT/BLP Tilting Braising Pans provide a stainless steel pan equipped with
patented heat transfer fins, burner/combustion chamber, hand-operated or electric
powered tilting mechanism, thermostatic controls, and hinged cover. The appliance
serves as braising pan, griddle, fry pan, oven, kettle, bainmarie and food warmer/
server, can be adapted for use as a non-pressure steamer and can be used to stir-fry,
reheat and saute foods.
The pan body is made from heavy-duty stainless steel welded into one solid piece,
with a polished interior and exterior. A pouring lip is welded to the front wall. The
cooking surface is a stainless steel clad plate fitted with welded heat transfer
fins which assure uniform heat transfer over the entire surface. The gas burner/
combustion chamber supplies the heat.
An easily operated worm and gear mechanism tilts the pan and provides precise
control for pouring or dumping the contents of the pan. This hand-wheel controlled
mechanism is located in a stainless steel console to the right of the pan body. For
models with electric power tilt, a switch operates an electric motor that starts and
stops the pan tilt smoothly. To assist cleaning, the pan body can be tilted past the
vertical position. When the pan is tilted, the burners shut off automatically.
The thermostat provides automatic control of cooking temperature. Operating the
thermostat dial on the front of the control console turns the heat on or off and sets the
pan temperature.
A vented, heavy gauge, one-piece, stainless steel cover with a condensate drip shield
on the rear edge is standard on the Braising Pan. A fully enclosed, torsion bar type
counterbalance provides easy operation to open the cover and to maintain it open at
any position. The cover opens to the back and is hinged to the frame, so it moves
independently of the pan body.
The braising pan is mounted on an open-leg frame fabricated from tubular stainless steel.
Standard models have an ignition system that uses electronic spark ignition. Optional
models have a standing flame pilot light that ignites the main burner.
