Cleveland SEL40T1 Braising Pan, Tilting Skillet
The Cleveland SEL40T1 Braising Pan, Tilting Skillet is a commercial electric cooking solution designed for high-volume foodservice operations that require efficient large-batch preparation. With a 40-gallon (150-liter) capacity, this tilting skillet provides ample cooking space for braising, sautéing, simmering, and other demanding kitchen applications. Its 12-gauge 304 stainless steel pan construction incorporates a 5/8-inch mild steel clad bottom and a 1/16-inch stainless steel plate to promote even temperature distribution. The 5/8-inch stainless steel bead-blasted cooking surface is designed to help resist warping and reduce food sticking during operation. An 18 kW heating element delivers efficient, evenly distributed heat, while the adjustable electronic thermostat provides precise temperature control from 100°F to 450°F.
Designed for practical commercial kitchen operation, the Cleveland SEL40T1 features a low 35-inch rim height and an open base design that facilitates cleaning and maintenance. The easy-to-turn manual hand tilt allows operators to transfer prepared food efficiently, while the standard 10-degree cooking feature allows the pan to tilt without turning off the power. Gallon and liter markings help with batch measurement, and the spring-assist cover includes a full-width handle and adjustable vent. Splash-proof controls and construction provide added practicality in foodservice environments. The unit operates on 208–240 volts with single- or three-phase configurations and includes adjustable feet with rear flanged and front bullet-style designs. Optional accessories include a 2-inch tangent draw-off valve, power tilt with manual override, faucets, spray head, poaching pans, pan carrier, and vegetable steamer baskets.
