The PreciPan™ is one smart tilt skillet chock full of valuable features. Cooking by food probe target core temp, basket lifting, pan tilting, and tilt-free draining are all fully automated. Repeatable results at the push of a button increases production and reduces training.

Griddles with Clamshell Accessories and Charbroilers
Add a heavy duty electric Vulcan Manual Clamshell (VMCS) to any Vulcan Flat Top Griddle to batch cook items faster than ever. Select from three griddle plate materials to optimize the surface for even heat, cleanability or a griddle fit for a display kitchen. Vulcan has you covered. When placed on a Traulsen Refrigerated Chef’s Base (TE036HT), the ergonomic and speed benefits for the grill station can be maximized.
The VMCS Clamshell Griddle Accessory uses exclusive Rapid Recovery™ Plate composite for mind-blowing consistent heat. When paired with the highly configurable MSA Series Griddles, cooks product in less than half the time.
Heavy cast iron grates provide defined product marking, durable cast iron burners and radiants for high heat retention and under-burner heat deflector panels for flexibility of countertop base selection.

It’s easy to use, which makes it easy to impress.
CONVECTION OVENS
Easy to use, with the features you want. Vulcan commercial convection ovens provide consistently superior results. Our commercial ovens offer the versatile performance an operation needs to prepare a varied menu.
