What Is a Braising Pan?
A braising pan is a specialized cooking appliance designed for high-temperature, bulk cooking.
Commonly found in large-scale kitchens and the food service industry, this machine enables the cooking of vast quantities of food simultaneously at high temperatures. It consists of a large, thick-bottomed pot or pan that facilitates the cooking of substantial amounts of food uniformly. Positioned over a heat source, either gas or electric, it ensures even heat distribution across the bottom surface, allowing for consistent cooking results.
Capable of supporting various cooking techniques including sautéing, steaming, braising, and frying, braising pans are indispensable for efficiently preparing large-scale meals. They are ideal for dishes such as soups, stews, curries, pasta, rice, and stir-fries, and for cooking meats and vegetables.
