Product Description
The Blue Seal G580-12E is a heavy-duty 120-litre gas bratt pan designed for demanding commercial kitchen environments. Available for use with natural gas or LPG, it provides a wide cooking temperature range and is built to handle the sustained workload of busy service periods across multiple cooking methods — including boiling, poaching, stewing, shallow frying, deep frying, braising, steaming, and roasting. It is one of the more versatile single pieces of equipment a production kitchen can invest in.
In a working kitchen, a bratt pan of this capacity earns its place by consolidating functions that would otherwise require multiple appliances. The 25kW burner output supports strong heat recovery when cooking in volume, and the wide pan base gives a useful searing and browning surface during peak service. The seamless pan body with rounded corners cleans down quickly between uses, which matters when the same vessel is moving between different tasks throughout the day.
Practical points worth noting for day-to-day operation:
- Spring-assisted lid reduces operator effort during prolonged service
- Full-width stainless steel lid handle for safe, controlled operation
- Large pouring spout supports controlled, safe decanting of hot liquids
- Piezo ignition with flame failure protection for reliable, safe lighting
- Overheat safety cut-out included for unsupervised or cleaning cycles
- Enamelled control panel resists the heat and moisture of a busy kitchen environment
- Rear castors and front fixed legs allow repositioning without full disconnection
Installation will require a suitable gas connection sized for a 25kW output, and adequate ventilation — this unit will typically need to sit beneath an extraction canopy. The unit's weight and floor-standing format mean access routes and floor loading should be considered before delivery. The lid is constructed from 1.5mm stainless steel and is sufficiently robust to double as a worksurface when the pan is not in use, which can be a practical gain in a tight kitchen layout.
A 120-litre bratt pan at this output level is well suited to school catering operations, hospital and care facility kitchens, contract catering production sites, and large restaurant or pub kitchen operations running substantial covers. It is less suited to smaller à la carte kitchens where a 60- to 80-litre model would offer a more proportionate footprint and running cost. For very high-throughput sites cooking in continuous batch cycles, a larger-capacity or twin-pan configuration may be worth considering.
If you are weighing up whether this capacity is right for your kitchen's production volumes or want to talk through the gas supply and installation requirements, the team is happy to work through that with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A 120-litre pan is generally suited to operations producing food in large batch volumes — think school meals, contract catering, or high-cover pub and restaurant kitchens. If your throughput is more moderate or your kitchen space is limited, a smaller 60- to 80-litre model may be a more proportionate fit. It is worth talking through your service volumes before ordering, as over-sizing a bratt pan can result in inefficient energy use during quieter periods.
- This unit requires a gas supply capable of supporting a 25kW output, whether natural gas or LPG — specify which when ordering, as the unit is configured accordingly. It will need to be positioned beneath a suitable extraction canopy, and the floor should be level and capable of taking the weight of a full 120-litre pan. Allow adequate access clearance for safe tilting and decanting of hot liquids.
- Yes — the G580-12E is designed to handle deep-fat frying alongside boiling, poaching, stewing, braising, steaming, shallow frying, and roasting. That said, operators should be aware that switching between deep frying and other methods requires thorough cleaning of the pan, and the overheat safety cut-out provides an additional layer of protection during high-temperature oil work. The large pouring spout makes controlled oil disposal more manageable.
