Hi Philip,

Brat Pans should not be used for deep fat frying. A look on the net should provide you with all the relevant information or alternatively contact your local environmental health office who should be able to provide leaflets. So in the light of this it would be a credible statement to say that it would be bad practice to use brat pans for deep fat frying

However what I find incredible is that good sound Health and safety advice is being omitted at the expense of petty arguments over spelling and good grammar. I would like to apologise on behalf of some my fellow professionals, who may not realise, not all people who ask for advice on this forum will be H&S practitioners.

Thanks
Keith

Well said Keith.

We want to encourage people to use this forum, not deter them by petty complaints from people who should know better.

OK - never mind the issue of spelling - the issue here is a serious one that warrants a serious response. Bratt pans are intended for multi use and as such can be used for a range of cooking methods, including frying both "shallow" and "deep". The manufacturers recommendations regarding capacity, fill levels for the different cooking methods should always be adhered to, but it is certainly possible (and safe) to cook items, normally cooked in a deep fat fryer, in a shallower quantity of frying medium in the bratt pan. Because of the larger surface area, a greater proportion of items can be cooked at once. As with all fat frying the basic rules should be followed eg not overloaded, not wet, never left unattended, regular changing of frying medium etc. However, I do repeat, manufacturers guidance MUST always be followed. Hope that is helpful. Regards
