The D74/10KBGI gas tilting braising pan is the high-capacity direct-fire block of the Diamante 70 line: 14 kW gas, 43 litres, manual tilting, 800×730 mm format. Two chefs can work on it at once, or a single chef runs the full 43 litres in continuous production. On an existing gas circuit, it is the most economical solution to run for brigades working 6 to 8 hours per service.
For which brigade, which type of production?
- Restaurant with a diverse menu (80-150 covers): the 43 L capacity produces the stocks, jus, stews and braises of a full service in a single batch. Manual tilting pours straight into the service bain-marie or a GN pan with no extra handling. In the rush, two work zones side by side over 800 mm let two chefs work in parallel without getting in each other's way.
- Catering kitchen (150-300 covers): producing steamed vegetables, pilaf rice, sautéed starches, meats in sauce — the volumes that exceed a small boiling pan but do not yet justify two separate appliances. The 43 L tilting pan is the central tool of medium-sized catering.
- Event caterer: for banquets of 200 to 400 people, sides and garnishes are produced in successive 43 L batches. Manual tilting empties the vessel in seconds to chain the next batch immediately with no needless cooling.
- Full Diamante 70 cooking line: this block fits alongside an oven, a boiling pan or a gas wok on the same 70 cm-deep modular line. Range consistency simplifies installation and maintenance.

Gas vs electric: the running-cost equation on 43 L
Over 800 mm, the same 43 L vessel is available in gas (D74/10KBGI, €7,080) or electric TRI 400V (D74/10KBEI, €7,450). The purchase gap is minimal — it is over 5-7 years of use that the cost difference really shows.

What restaurateurs ask
- What quantity can be produced with a 43 L tilting braising pan?
- 43 L represents about 35 to 40 kg of ready-to-serve blanquette or stew, depending on reduction during cooking. For catering or a volume restaurant, this covers 150 to 250 sauced-dish portions per batch. For water-cooked sides (vegetables, pasta), you can handle 30 to 35 kg at once. In caterer production, an experienced chef chains 3 to 5 batches per service with emptying between each.
- Is manual tilting of 43 L at full load physically practical?
- Tilting a professional braising pan is not a direct effort against the weight of the contents — it is a worm-screw or crank mechanism that multiplies the force applied to the vessel. The full 43 L vessel represents 40 to 45 kg of contents, but the operation stays accessible to a fit adult. For teams emptying the pan 4 to 5 times per service, the motorised-tilting model (Prestige 700 BR70/80E/N) is an alternative to consider.
- Can you simmer unattended on a gas braising pan?
- Yes, it is one of the main uses. The gas flame set to minimum maintains slow, even cooking — ideal for 2 to 4 hour braises. The Diamante 70 pan is designed for continuous use. The gas safety thermocouple cuts the supply if the flame goes out accidentally — the standard safety device on any CE-compliant professional gas equipment.
- Tilting braising pan or boiling pan: which to choose for a catering kitchen?
- The two pieces are complementary, not interchangeable. The braising pan (wide, shallow base) suits braises, stir-fries and cooking where the wide heated surface favours the Maillard reaction and reducing juices. The boiling pan (narrow base, high walls) is preferable for stocks, large-water cooking, pasta and vegetables. A complete catering kitchen ideally has both — the braising pan for sauced dishes of the day, the boiling pan for stocks and soups.
