Equipment Description
Groen NHFP and NHFP(E) Gas Fired Braising Pans provide a stainless steel pan equipped with heat transfer fins, burner/combustion chamber, power tilting mechanism, thermostatic controls, and hinged cover. The Braising Pan serves as a braising unit, griddle, fry pan, oven, kettle, bain marie, or food warmer and server. It can also be adapted for use as a steamer.
The pan body is constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel welded into one solid piece, with a polished interior and a semi-deluxe finish on the exterior. A pouring lip is welded into the front wall. The cooking surface is a stainless steel clad plate fitted with welded heat transfer fins that assure uniform heat transfer over the entire surface. The gas burner/combustion chamber supplies the heat.
The pan is tilted forward by an electrically powered actuator mechanism. A three-position switch on the front of the control console gives the operator positive, smoothly operating control of tilting. When the pan is tilted, the burners shut off automatically.
The thermostat provides automatic control of cooking temperature. 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 rear condensate drip shield on its underside is standard on the Braising Pan.
A fully enclosed, spring-type actuator counterbalances the cover to keep it opened or closed. The cover opens to the back and is hinged to the frame, so that it moves independently of the pan body.
Different ignition systems distinguish the basic models. Model NHFP uses a thermopilecontrolled, standing pilot flame to light the main burner. Model NHFP(E) ignites the main burner directly with an electrically heated hot surface igniter.
