The tilting skillet, also known as the tilting brazier or tilting fry pan, is a versatile and efficient piece of equipment. It can be used as a griddle, fry pan, brazier, stewpot, stockpot, steamer, and bain-marie or steam table.

The tilting skillet is a large, shallow, flat-bottomed pot. To look at it another way, it is a griddle with sides 6 inches (24 cm) high, plus a cover. It has a tilting mechanism that enables liquids to be poured out of it. Power may be gas or electric.
Clean the skillet immediately after each use, before food has time to dry on. Add water, turn on the skillet to heat it, and scrub thoroughly.
