Tilt Skillet Recipes

That's a big skillet. Most restaurant suppliers publish recipes for the food service. Sysco and USFoods do for sure. Speaking of the lunch lady, most of the foods we ate as kids in the schools were recipes provided by the USDA. You can still find them online.

There are a lot of recipe programs you can use that will scale up or down your everyday meals. A tilt (braising) skillet can be used to boil, braise, steam, and sear. It's just huge. Hamburger steak and gravy, stews, and even pot roast can be made in one. You can make pancakes on one side, and make eggs on the other. Big Dropper should be around later and may be able to help.

shite on a shingle for 1,000, please.

I was VP of quality for Groen. We may have built that kitchen workhorse.

What kind of food are you trying to cook? They will do almost anything and maybe I can help.

We have had it in the trailer since we got it 2 years ago but we dont know anything about it so we dont use it much.


So far it has been used for making pasta, and we soak/cook our black beans (for a smoked chicken, with black beans with white rice).

We also used one of the recipes from the pinned list at the top of this forum for red beans and rice with sausage.

For those that dont know me I am associated with Here to Serve. We provide free hot meals to disaster victims. In the last few years we have been to Lake Charles, Deridder, Prarieville LA. Also Amory MS, Lillian, Selma, Sawyerville AL and most recently to Madison FL. We usually prepare about 1200 lunches and dinners each day for about a week. We are all volunteers and never charge for anything.

Don't have any experience with one, but I could imagine a big batch of chicken and dumplings would be a good and easy dish to cook in that and serve to large crowds for a reasonable price - full meal in a bowl like chili.

For breakfast, you can fry bacon or sausage in it. You can scramble eggs in it. You can cook pancakes, skillet toast. french toast YOu can make breakfast burritos (Sausage, eggs, velveeta, served on a wrapped tortilla.

There are several breakfast casseroles you can cook, like steamed rice, with sausage, celery onions and cream soup.

You can grill burgers, roast chickens, fry, braise meats, cook anything you like in using it on a very low setting like a crock pot. you can cover the bottom with chuck roasts, braise them, then add water and seasonings add onions celery carrots and gravy to make beef stew. Do the same with ground beef. Cook hot dogs. The list is endless.

Use it to make a hundred different soups, taco meat, burritos, enchaladas.

cook ground beef and make sloppy joes.

Stew chickens and serve them a hundred different ways.

Stew chicken thighs with celery and onions, then add butter, flour slurry and quartered canned biscuits to the broth thigh mixture and serve one thigh in each bowl of dumplings.

It will cook any vegetable you want to cook, green beans, corn, pork and beans for baked beans, whatever.

Talk to a school cafeteria manager and se if they will offer you recipes for quantity cooking. They have books provided by USDA with hundreds of recipes.

They are a gift from God to cook one pan food dishes for a lot of folks.

The biggest drawback, is it will cook only one thing at a time, so I would stick to things like burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, sloppy joes, ground beef lose sandwiches, soups and stews, spaghetti with the noodles cooked in the meat sauce. One pan Mexican casserole dishes. Anyone willing to try can do those.

I have left out a thousand suggestions. What you probably lack is having a person brave enough to try the unit out, or a cook that has done this before

Wow. Thanks for all that. My wife is a teacher here in Tuscaloosa and I will ask her for the cafeteria managers name.

Like I said we have had it for a couple of years and never really used it. One night in Madison Fl after we had cleaned up I started watching youtube videos on it on my phone. I now realize it is probably the workhorse of the entire trailer.

Thanks for the ideas everyone. Now its time to start cooking. In addition to the disaster meals we also help with the local soup kitchen, they will give me the chance to use it skillet locally so if I realize I need to add something (ingredient) I can do so. That is usually not an option when on site after a hurricane or tornado.

Thanks again.

Do a google search for USDA School Lunch recipes and Child nutrition recipes Most of their recipes are hard printed and provided to school lunch programs, but when you start looking, you will begin running across many that are electronically distributed.

A funny trivial fact:

I have been in commercial kitchens, Hospital, military, prison, food industry that had 5-10 or more of these in a row.

The design happened many years before my time, but we had one tabletop tilting steam jacketed kettle that I think was designed to fit through one of the deck access ports on pre-nuclear submarines, so it would be replaceable if the need arose.
