Description
The Vulcan VG40 is a 40 gallon gas tilting braising pan (tilt skillet) on a 46″ wide open base. One pan browns, braises, sautés, simmers, steams and grills large batches, so banquet, school and institutional kitchens can replace several pots and griddles. This Vulcan VG40 natural gas model delivers 120,000 BTU/hr and Vulcan says it heats about 20% faster than standard models. A manual crank tilts the pan to empty it.
