The Vulcan VE40 braising pan can be used as a griddle, pan fryer, steamer, and more. The 40-gallon capacity works well for universities, cafeterias, medium to heavy traffic restaurants, and other large establishments. The temperature can be adjusted from 50 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit with solid state temperature controls. An even heat transfer between the heating elements and cooking plate is created by the FastBatch heating technology, accelerating heat-up times and reducing boil times. Embedded heating elements offer even heat distribution across the 39-inch-by-23-inch stainless steel clad.

The plate has a non-stick finish, releasing cooked-on product easily so it is easy to clean. Coved corners in the interior make it simple to clean, while the recessed hinges eliminate nooks for particles to be wedged into. To keep water, grease, and other liquids out of the braising pan’s components, the controls and enclosures are sealed. Gallon and liter markings are embossed on the interior of the unit to ensure product measurements are consistent across batches. The lid can be locked in place to offer vented cooking, and the handle remains cool to prevent injury.

The Vulcan VE40 braising pan has a manually operated lifting mechanism. If it tilts past 5 degrees, the heating elements automatically shut off. With 30 cranks of the handle, the pan can be tilted completely to empty the contents. A pitcher pour front features a 4-inch lip to direct the flow of product into pans. A food receiving pan support is mounted under the pour lip to easily hold pans and collect the cooked product.
