Hobart Precipan 150L Electric Multifunction Tilting Bratt Pan (HP) with Pressure Lid and Auto Basket Lift

The Precipan 150L is the larger version of the Precipan 100L, with a 151-litre pan for bigger production runs. It simmers, grills, braises, sautés, pan fries, steams, boils, deep fries and pressure cooks in one pan. It suits hospitals, aged care, schools, central production kitchens and large catering operations.

The 15mm-thick base has a 316 stainless steel cooking surface, and the heating is split into three zones, so the pan only heats where the food is. That’s useful when you’re cooking a half batch. Temperature is adjustable from 40 to 250°C. Staff run it from a 7-inch colour touchscreen with a control dial, which stores more than 60 cooking programs, runs up to five stages per cycle, and records cooking data to USB for HACCP records. It fills itself with a measured amount of water, and the electric tilt stops at any angle.

This high-power model comes with the pressure lid and automatic basket lift included. A 15A power point on the front lets staff plug in a stick blender for soups and purées.

Precipan 150L or 100L? The 150L holds about 50% more, with a larger cooking surface (62dm² compared with 44dm²) and three heating zones instead of two. It’s 300mm wider and needs an 80A supply rather than 50A. If you regularly cook large batches, choose the 150L.

Good to know before you buy

The pan needs a three-phase 400V supply on an 80A C-curve breaker (42.3kW), so have an electrician check your power before ordering. It needs a cold water connection (hot water is optional), a stop cock nearby, and a drain with a trap. A floor gully at least 550 x 800mm is needed in front of the pan to catch the pour. It’s designed to stand against a wall and can be bolted to it. With the lid open, it stands 1856mm tall. It comes on a 200mm fixed stand with adjustable feet.
