Crown (Middleby) 2PHC-40 Braising Pans & Tilt Skillets

Two-Piece Hinged Cover – 40 Gallon Kettle

Designed and built by Crown Steam Group for its 40 gal stationary kettles, this split, self-hinging cover helps kitchens work cleaner, faster and more efficiently by trapping steam and reducing heat loss while still giving operators quick, one-handed access to the kettle.

Why choose this Crown OEM cover?

• Two-piece design lets you open one side at a time—ideal for stirring, sampling or ingredient additions without fully exposing product.
• Factory-matched fit for Crown 40 gallon kettles; installs in minutes with the original hinge hardware.
• Direct, like-for-like replacement for earlier Southbend, Blodgett and Market Forge branded kettles that were manufactured by Crown (per Middleby memo dated 05/07/2019).
• Helps maintain proper cooking temperature, shortens heat-up times and minimizes energy costs by keeping steam where it belongs.
• Reduces the chance of contamination and splashing to enhance workplace safety and sanitation.

OEM cross-reference

In 2019, identical steam-kettle models previously sold under the Southbend, Blodgett and Market Forge names were consolidated under the Crown brand. If you have one of those legacy kettles, this is the factory-authorized replacement cover.
