Large Volume Tilting Boiling Pans: A Practical Solution for Commercial Kitchens

Large volume tilting boiling pans are very practical in commercial kitchens. From the basic structure, we can create different types of tilting boiling pans according to actual needs. For example, tilting double jacketed boiling pans are popular choices for restaurants, hotels, food factories, and central kitchens that require high-capacity cooking equipment.

In this article, we’ll explore the structure, benefits, types, and applications of tilting boiling pans — with a special focus on double jacketed models — and why they are essential for modern foodservice operations.

What is a Tilting Boiling Pan?

A tilting boiling pan, also known as a tilting kettle or tilting cooking pot, is a large-capacity cooking vessel designed for boiling, stewing, simmering, or braising food in bulk. The key feature is its tilting mechanism, which allows the operator to pour out cooked food or liquid safely and efficiently without heavy lifting or manual scooping.

These pans come in various capacities, typically ranging from 50 liters to over 500 liters, making them ideal for large-scale food production.

Why Choose a Double Jacketed Tilting Boiling Pan?

A double jacketed boiling pan has a space between the inner pot and the outer wall (the jacket), filled with a heat transfer medium. This design ensures even heating and prevents food from burning or sticking.

Depending on the heating method, the medium inside the jacket can be:

Steam (water-based) — Common in electric or gas boiling pans for cooking below 100°C.

Heat transfer oil — Essential in induction heating systems where high temperature (200°C–300°C) cooking is required.

The double jacket structure ensures:

●Even temperature distribution

●Energy efficiency

●Safer operation with indirect heating

●Extended durability of the inner pot

Types of Tilting Boiling Pans for Commercial Use

●Electric heated tilting boiling pans— Simple to operate, ideal for slow cooking, soups, and sauces.

●Induction heated tilting boiling pans— High efficiency, fast heating, precise temperature control, eco-friendly. Requires heat transfer oil in the jacket.

●Gas heated tilting boiling pans— Cost-effective where gas is available; flexible for various cooking needs.

●Manual tilting pans vs. motorized tilting pans— Manual tilting is more economical, while motorized tilting offers ease of use, especially for very large capacities.

Applications of Tilting Double Jacketed Boiling Pans

●Tilting boiling pans are widely used in:

●Central kitchens producing bulk soups, stews, and sauces.

●Food processing plants for pre-cooking vegetables, meat, and grains.

●Candy and sauce factories requiring precise heating and reduction.

●Hotels, canteens, and catering services for large-scale meal preparation.

Usually we hear double jacketed cookers use water as the medium, but for induction heating, we must use oil.

Why Induction Double Jacketed Boiling Pans Require Oil

●For induction heating, the double jacketed pan must use heat transfer oil rather than water. This is because:

●Induction heating delivers very fast and high-temperature energy directly to the pot bottom.

●Water in the jacket would boil and evaporate quickly, creating dry burn risk.

●Heat transfer oil can handle high temperatures (200°C–300°C) safely, ensuring smooth and continuous operation.

Choosing the Right Tilting Boiling Pan

When selecting a tilting boiling pan for your commercial kitchen, consider:

1.✔️Capacity (liters)

2.✔️ Heating method (electric, induction, gas)

3.✔️ Tilting type (manual or motorized)

4.✔️Jacket medium (steam/water or heat transfer oil)

5.✔️ Application — What kind of food will you cook?

Conclusion

Large volume tilting boiling pans — especially double jacketed tilting pans — are essential for any professional kitchen aiming for efficiency, safety, and high output. Whether you are preparing soups, stews, sauces, or confectionery, the right choice of tilting boiling pan can greatly improve your cooking process and product quality.
