This specification covers tilting frying and braising pans (also known as tilting skillets; hereinafter called braising pans) suitable for the preparation of foods by several methods, such as frying, braising, and boiling. Braising pans shall be self-contained units with all required operating and safety controls ready for connection to utilities. Braising pans are classified by type, grade, and style. Type: type IA - table or countertop units with regular shaped clad plate and pan sides, type IB - table or countertop units with circularly shaped clad plate and pan sides, type II - floor mounted pans with an open stand, type III - floor mounted pans with a cabinet base, and type IV - wall mounted pans. Grade: grade A - manual tilting system, and grade B - power tilting system. Style: style i - electric heated, and style ii - gas heated. The design and construction of tilting frying and braising pans are presented in details.
