DESCRIPTION:
The Market Forge Gas Universe Plus Tilting Skillets are
available in 30-gallon (87-liter) and 40-gallon (114-liter)
pan bodies with 93,000 BTU and 126,000 BTU inputs
respectively. Both models are available in open-leg and
closed-base frame assemblies with manual or power tilt
capabilities.
The heavy duty construction of our Universe Plus Skillets
incorporates sides formed of 10 gauge stainless steel
and a 5/8” thick stainless steel clad plate that will provide
a rigid at cooking surface with improved heat distribu-
tion. The balanced design of the pan allows the operator
to easily and quickly tilt to the desired position. Our new
power tilt operates smoothly, with manual override that
works easily when needed and without the use of tools
or drills as required by other manufacturers.
CONSTRUCTION:
The Universe Plus Skillet has a fully polished stainless
steel cooking surface that prevents food from adhering
and helps to safely clean the equipment. Gas burners
turn off automatically when the cooking pan is tilted
from the horizontal position. The skillet is provided with
a heavy-duty spring assisted cover and a condensate
vent. The cooking pan and cover are supported by two
consoles with a fully welded stainless steel tubular frame
system that provides stable support to the unit.
The consoles are completely covered with stainless
steel that provides protection to the controls and is also
easily cleanable and provides clear access for easy oor
cleaning. The closed-base model incorporates an easily
removable stainless steel front panel. The sloped front
of the pan allows for complete draining of the pan when
tilted to 70°. The tilting mechanism includes a precision
ground and polished worm for smooth and long lasting
tilt operation and positive control with a collapsible hand
crank. A power tilting option is available and is also sup-
plied with the collapsible handle for manual override op-
eration if required.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
COOKING PAN:
The unitized cooking pan with integral clad plate cooking
surface is welded with full penetration to resist cracking
due to expansion and contraction. The polished cooking
surface resists product adherence and improves cleanup
and appearance. The pan incorporates an easy-pour lip
and 5-gallon increment markings. The clad plate cooking
surface has integrally welded labyrinth ns for positive
control and heat transfer from the reliable atmospheric
30P-STGL Shown
burners. An interlock switch is provided to turn the burn-
ers off when the pan is tilted more than 10° from the
normal horizontal position. The spring assisted cover
with integral vent, condensate drip guide and full width
handle affords effortless operation and will maintain an
open position.
CONTROLS:
The skillet comes standard with a solid-state tempera-
ture control with a positive OFF position and 100°-450°
Fahrenheit scale, a pilot light to indicate when the burn-
ers are ON, spark pilot ignition system as standard and
a 1 hour mechanical timer is included. The optional pow-
er tilting mechanism also utilizes an UP/DOWN rocker
switch. The manual tilting mechanism uses a collapsible
hand crank conveniently located below the control panel.
The controls are resistant to dripping and light splashing
water (NEMA T-2).
