Breville Banquet Pan

The tilt lever allows you to physically angle the pan while it sits on your countertop. This is particularly useful for draining excess fat away from meats or pooling juices to one side for easier basting or sauce reduction.

No, only the toughened glass lid is dishwasher safe. The main skillet base contains the electrical heating element and must be hand-washed to avoid damaging the components.

You can absolutely use it for searing. The thick cast aluminium construction provides excellent heat retention, and the precise temperature controls allow you to dial in the heat needed for browning meats before turning it down to simmer.

The large surface area is designed for family-sized meals or entertaining. It comfortably fits enough food for 4 to 6 people, depending on the dish you are preparing.

The steam vent gives you control over moisture levels inside the pan. Keep it closed to trap heat and moisture for braising or steaming, or open it to release excess steam when you want to reduce a sauce or prevent food from becoming soggy.
