THE WORKING VIEW

Why this cooking center earns its place

A smaller sibling to the Pro 2-S, this 34-litre tilt-pan handles the same three cooking tasks (boiling, frying, deep frying) in a more manageable footprint. Ideal for kitchens running 60–80 covers or prep areas where counter space is precious. The stainless steel body and heating elements are rated for continuous use through service, and the tilt mechanism lets you empty the pan safely without lifting hot liquid.

The 34-litre capacity sits between a large stockpot and a dedicated fryer—useful if your menu mixes stocks, braises, and shallow fried items and you can't dedicate one machine to each task. Fill to 80 % (27L) for safe operation. One machine replaces multiple single-purpose cookers, reducing clutter and the number of thermostats and timers to manage.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

The XS holds 34 litres; the Pro holds 50 litres. Choose the XS if you serve 60–80 covers or have limited counter space. Choose the Pro if you regularly batch 40+ litres or run 100+ cover service.

Typically 80–120 portions depending on portion size and dish. A 27-litre batch (80 % fill for safe heating) often covers a full lunch or dinner service for a 60–80 cover restaurant or café.

Yes, if you work in batches. Prep your stock at 20L in the morning, then fry in the afternoon after draining and cleaning. If you need simultaneous boiling and frying, step up to the Pro 2-S or run two machines.

The tilt mechanism does the work—you don't lift. Unlock the tilt, let gravity pour the contents into a waiting container or drain cart. Locked in the level position, it's rock-solid during cooking.

Yes, but temperature recovery takes time. After frying (180–190°C oil), heating from cold takes longer to reach boiling (100°C). If you're cycling between tasks in one service, keep the pan at a mid-range temperature (120–140°C) between jobs to cut recovery time.

Significantly smaller in counter space—ideal for tight kitchens. The heating power and element sizes scale with capacity, so it fits easily into a prep corner where a 50L unit would dominate.
