Vulcan - Precipan 40 Gallon Electric Intelligent Tilting Braising Pan 208V - VPP-40E-208

The Vulcan Precipan 40-Gallon Electric Intelligent Tilting Braising Pan redefines versatility, precision, and efficiency in professional cooking. With its multi-zone heating technology, intuitive touchscreen controls, and powerful automation, the Precipan gives chefs total command over every stage of the cooking process—reducing labour, saving hood space, and boosting productivity.

Designed for high-volume kitchens that demand flexibility, this intelligent braising pan supports multiple cooking techniques including simmering, grilling, braising, sautéing, pan frying, steaming, and boiling—all in one appliance. The 40-gallon working capacity allows you to cook for large groups effortlessly, making it perfect for schools, institutions, and commercial kitchens.

Multiple heat zones with precise temperature control (80°F to 482°F) let you cook several dishes at once, each at its ideal temperature and timing. The large LCD touchscreen interface with a turn/push control knob provides real-time visualization of set and actual temperatures, timers, and cooking modes.

The Precipan offers two main operating modes:

• Auto Mode: Preloaded and programmable recipes (up to five stages per cooking cycle), plus options to save “My Recipes” and “My Favorites” for repeat use.

• Manual Mode: Independent multi-zone cooking with multiple timers, allowing for unmatched control and flexibility.

For ease of use, the unit features automatic and precise water filling to preset or manual volumes, with single or dual-temperature options. An electronically powered touch drain allows for safe, hands-free liquid removal—no tilting required. When it’s time to empty the pan, the motor-driven tilt/lift mechanism provides smooth and controlled pouring through the full-width pour path.

Cleaning is simplified with an assistance mode and retractable spray hose, while the embossed gallon and liter markings make measurement quick and accurate. A strainer, wire mesh baskets, and an auto-lift arm are included for even greater functionality. The Precipan is also food-probe ready and equipped with a USB port for recipe transfer, HACCP data recording, and service diagnostics.

Additional features include automatic preheat, vented lid stops for moisture control, and customizable user settings. The included PC software enables simple recipe uploads with photos and step-by-step instructions, allowing for easy standardization across multiple operators or locations.

The Vulcan Precipan 40-Gallon Electric Tilting Braising Pan is UL Listed, meets Canadian safety standards, and is UL Classified to NSF Standard #4. It comes backed by a one-year limited parts and labour warranty, extended to two years for K–12 foodservice applications.
