Eclipse Ergonomic Tilting Braising Pans From A Chef’s Perspective

by Chef Michael Williams

The greatest chefs of the world have known for years that the most versatile piece of equipment in the kitchen is the braising pan, or some call it the “tilt skillet”. Regrettably, most foodservice operators do not realize their versatility. The best part of having a braising pan is the versatility. You can utilize the pan to make a few hundred flap jacks in the morning, cook salisbury steaks with gravy for lunch, and finally, make a great stir fry for dinner. Now that’s versatility!

I am often asked “just what is a braising pan used for, is it like a skillet?”. I relate it more to one of those electric skillets many of us had in our first apartment. It works in just about the same way. The pan has a heater coil attached to the outside of the bottom. When it is heated you can cook almost anything in a snap, and clean-up is a breeze.

When you first got the electric skillet and burned a few batches of chicken, you realized that this method of cooking was pretty efficient. It did not require everything to be cooked on “HIGH” because the heat source was part of the equipment and truly provided highly efficient conductive heat. During the life of this trusty friend you began to notice that some things, like cream or high sugar items, stuck or burned in the area around where the element was located, but the products in the middle of the pan were just right. This is because the element typically ran about 2 inches from the outside
