Crown ES-30 30-Gallon Electric Tilting Skillet

Manual gear-tilt • 12 kW • cCSAus & NSF certified

Engineered in Canada for the most demanding commercial kitchens, the Crown ES-30 delivers the versatility of a braising pan, griddle, kettle and sauté station—all in one heavy-duty, 30-gallon (114 L) package. From searing to simmering, this self-contained electric skillet provides fast, even heat across its entire surface so you can batch-cook with confidence and precision.

Why chefs choose the ES-30

  • 30-gallon capacity (114 L) easily handles up to 75 lb of ground meat or 23 gal of soup in a single load.
  • Manual gearbox tilt with oversized handle offers smooth, controlled pouring and shuts the elements off when the pan is tipped more than 5°.
  • Spring-assisted cover with full-width handle, condensate drip guide and vent port keeps heat in and mess out.
  • Etched gallon & litre markings speed portioning—no need for separate measuring tools.
  • Removable pour-lip strainer catches solids for cleaner, safer draining.
  • 10-gauge 304 stainless steel pan with coved corners wipes down fast and resists warping.
  • 1 ⅜" (35 mm) aluminum heat plate with embedded electric elements ensures uniform temperatures from edge to edge.
  • 160 °F–445 °F (71 °C–229 °C) thermostat plus high-limit cut-off at 536 °F (280 °C) for dependable safety.
  • Open stainless frame with adjustable flanged feet—bolt it to the floor for code-compliant installation.
  • cCSAus & NSF listed for use in all commercial food-service applications.
