A specialised cooking vessel used in industrial kitchens and the food processing industry is a tilting vat, commonly referred to as a tilting kettle or tilting pan. It is built with a mechanism that makes tilting the vat for simple pouring and emptying of its contents possible. To precisely manage the pouring process, the tilting feature is often operated by a handle or lever.
Stainless steel is frequently used to make tilting vats because of its strength, heat conductivity, and cleaning simplicity. They can be used to prepare a variety of foods in big amounts, including braising, stewing, boiling, and simmering. In industrial settings, tilting vats are especially useful because they promote effective production procedures, minimise manual handling, and make it easier to transport cooked food to storage or serving vessels.
