Hot Beef Butcher Shop, Fried Chicken and Brand New Scratch and Dent Restaurant Equipment Auction

This Cleveland electric tilting braising pan is a heavy-duty floor-model commercial skillet designed for high-volume institutional and commercial kitchen applications. With a 30-gallon capacity (115 liters) as marked on the interior sidewall, this unit is well suited for large-batch cooking operations including braising, sautéing, stewing, sauce production, and simmering. The flat stainless steel lid with center vent is included, and the tilting mechanism with guard rail allows for safe and controlled pouring or transfer of contents. The electric heating element is controlled via a single temperature dial ranging from OFF through to 450°F, with a separate power rocker switch on the blue Cleveland control panel.

The unit presents in used, fair condition consistent with heavy commercial service. The exterior stainless steel body is structurally sound, and the interior cooking surface, tilt mechanism, and lid are all present. However, buyers should note visible wear: the control panel overlay is heavily peeling with rust-colored adhesive residue around the perimeter, the drain valve handle is cracked and degraded, the tilt shaft shows surface corrosion, and weld points on the base and undercarriage show rust and oxidation. The interior pan contains food debris and residue and will require thorough cleaning and inspection prior to use. The drain valve brass fitting appears intact.

This unit is ideal for school cafeterias, hospital food service operations, correctional facilities, catering kitchens, or any high-volume operation requiring large-batch moist cooking. Cleveland is a well-regarded manufacturer of commercial steam and braising equipment. Due to the condition of the control panel overlay and drain valve, buyers are advised to budget for potential service or component replacement. Electrical specifications including voltage and phase are not visible in the available images and should be verified prior to purchase.
