Product Description
The Blue Seal G580-12 is a 120-litre gas-fired tilting bratt pan designed for sustained, high-volume cooking across a wide range of methods. The pan body and lid are fabricated in stainless steel with a seamless, rounded-corner interior. Tilting is controlled by a hand-wheel with a fold-away handle, giving precise, safe pouring without the need for mechanical assistance. The unit is available on natural gas or LPG, and the correct fuel type must be confirmed before ordering.
In a working kitchen, a bratt pan at this capacity earns its place by consolidating several functions into a single unit. It handles bulk braising, large-batch shallow frying, poaching, stewing, and boiling depending on what service demands. The burner output supports solid heat recovery after loading, which matters when you are working through large quantities of protein or root vegetables in continuous batches. The operating range runs from low, slow sauce work through to higher-temperature searing.
The key operational advantages are:
- Multi-method cooking in one unit reduces equipment footprint and transition time between cooking stages
- Manual tilt mechanism allows controlled, safe decanting directly into serving vessels or transport containers
- Seamless rounded interior simplifies daily cleaning and reduces residue build-up
- Spring-assisted lid reduces physical effort during extended prep and service periods
- Rear castors allow repositioning during installation, though the unit is not intended for routine movement once in place
Installation requires a hard gas connection rated for the chosen fuel type and adequate overhead extraction — a canopy directly above the unit is standard practice. The pan carries a significant operating weight when filled, so floor loading capacity and delivery access routes are worth assessing before the unit arrives on site. Clearances to adjacent equipment and walls should follow manufacturer guidance and applicable gas safety regulations.
This bratt pan is well suited to central production kitchens, large contract catering operations, hospital and care home kitchens, and busy restaurant or pub kitchens where batch cooking is a regular part of the workflow. At 120 litres it represents a serious commitment of space and gas supply — kitchens with lower throughput may find a smaller-capacity model more practical, while very high-volume cook-chill facilities may benefit from a larger option within the range.
If you want to talk through whether this capacity fits your service volumes, or have questions about gas supply and installation before placing an order, the team is happy to work through it with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- That depends on your typical batch sizes and how many covers or portions you are producing per service. A 120-litre pan is well suited to large contract catering, institutional kitchens, and high-volume restaurants cooking in bulk, but it is a significant piece of kit — kitchens with lower throughput often find a smaller capacity more practical and easier to justify on gas and space. If you are unsure, it is worth talking through your service volumes before committing.
- The G580-12 requires a hard-piped gas connection sized appropriately for the burner output, on either natural gas or LPG — the fuel type must be specified at the point of order as the unit cannot be easily converted on site. Overhead canopy extraction directly above the pan is standard practice and required for safe, compliant operation. A gas-safe engineer should carry out the final connection and commissioning.
- Yes — the G580-12 is built for sustained, high-volume use rather than occasional cooking. The burner output supports reasonable heat recovery after loading, which is important when working through large batches of protein or dense vegetables back to back. Like any gas bratt pan, actual throughput will depend on batch size, product temperature on loading, and how the burner is managed during service.
