ES-40 Electric Tilting Skillet – 40 gal / 18 kW

Crown Steam Group · cCSAus & NSF Certified

Replace multiple pieces of cooking equipment with one powerhouse. The Crown ES-40 delivers 40 gallons (152 L) of evenly-heated cooking surface that braises, sautés, steams, grills, holds and more – then tilts forward for a safe, fast pour-off.

Why you’ll love it

  • True one-person tilt – manual gearbox with counter-balanced design lets you tip up to 40 gal of product smoothly and precisely.
  • Even heating – 18 kW incoloy elements cast into a 1-3/8" (35 mm) aluminum plate distribute heat edge-to-edge.
  • Spring-assisted lid – full-width handle, no-drip condensate guide and adjustable vent keep steam under control.
  • Etched capacity marks – permanent U.S. gallon graduations speed up filling, batching & HACCP recording.
  • Removable lip strainer – pour off liquid while holding back product for stocks, sauces or grease separation.
  • All-stainless, open-frame base – 10-ga. 304 pan, 1-5/8" welded tube frame and flanged adjustable feet stand up to daily wash-down.
  • Wide temperature range – thermostat OFF / 160 °F–445 °F (71 °C–229 °C) with high-limit & tip-over safety switch.
