BETTERPAN
BETTERPAN 145
Betterpan is a rectangular professional bratt pan: it braises, deep-fries, steams and pressure-cooks – in one compact machine built for high volumes.
BETTERPAN 145 has a total volume of 145 l: a mid-size model – for restaurants, hotels and smaller central kitchens. A pressure lid is available as an option.
Description
Betterpan is made entirely of stainless steel and is compact in every size. It comes in four capacities – 110, 145, 180 and 220 litres – and the 110–180 litre models are also available with a pressure lid.
The components are positioned so that they are easy to reach and replace. A probe below the cooking surface controls the temperature from 50 to 250 °C, a second probe sits in direct contact with the food, and an optional third pin probe measures the core temperature.
The pressure versions cook at up to 0.45 bar and cut cooking times by up to 70%, saving water and energy while increasing yield and keeping hygiene standards high.
