Hello, I may be interested in buying a bratt pan for cooking and serving hot pot from a mobile catering unit. This is something I am working on over the next few months. I take it that I can hook up to LPG? Also I need something that is free standing and can hold about 70 litres ish? I notice you can give discount and wondered what prices you can offer?
Thanks

Sorry I forgot to ask what would be better cast iron or stainless steel?

Hi Hammy, Fagor do a decent 80 litre bratt pan and they offer the choice of either Natural gas or LPG. I can't really give you a price on the forum as we don't encourage outright marketing. We will however give a good price and can beat any other dealers quotes. For more technical info check out this info site and then come back to me by pm http://www.fagorboilingandbrattpans.com
I prefer stainless steel, but cast iron would be ample for hotpots and is cheaper.
Thanks

Hello Hammy, I agree with Stu on the size, as it is always better to get one slightly bigger than the contents you are intending to cook. If you buy one at any time, make sure that you are specific in stating you require an LPG model. The jets can be changed over at a later date, but this will take between 30 - 60 mins. I have to point out that cast iron is a slightly lumpier surface in general, which is down to the way it is cast. This is not usually a problem and they are hard wearing. You should really think to the future though and know whether you intend to cook other food in it. If you were intending to cook eggs for instance, I would suggest a stainless steel model.

Hi Stu,
I am looking for another boiling pan with stirrer I currently have a cucimix x and need something bigger to go alongside. Do you have a number I can call you on or can you PM me?
