Description
This 24 quart brazier, or rondo, is the Vollrath 68224 from the Classic Select line. It has a wide heating surface to allow you to cook meats and vegetables in a limited amount of liquids, and it is perfect for long slow cooking or in conjunction with a tapered sauce pan to melt butter, heat sauces, and blanch vegetables. This commercial brazier has a holding capacity of 24 quarts and it measures 18 inches in diameter on the inside and 5 1/2 inches in depth on the inside. Backed by an NSF approval, this rondo is made from 3004 aluminum that is heavy duty and impact resistant. Both the bottom and the top of this aluminum casserole pan are double thick for extra durability and even heat distribution. There are two handles on this Vollrath brazier, and they are welded heavy duty aluminum for strength and ease of carrying.
You should remove all the stickers and labels from your rondo and wash it in hot soapy water before you use it. You should also season your casserole pan, just as you should season all of your commercial cookware. Apply vegetable oil or a small amount of shortening to the inside of the aluminum rondo and place the pan on a medium burner for 5-10 minutes or until light smoke or heat waves appear. The oil/shortening should be a deep amber color by now. Remove the brazier and let the oil/shortening cool before you dump out the oil/shortening and wipe the pan down with a paper towel. Your restaurant casserole pan is ready for regular use just as soon as your wash it with hot soapy water one more time. You may season your cookware as mush as you want without damaging it, and washing your cookware will not remove the seasoning.
All cookware, including braziers, will last longer if they are always washed by hand. Never leave any of your pots or pans on a heated surface without foods or liquids inside and always use rubber, plastic, or wooden utensils. To prevent burns or your rondo from warping, allow the kitchen cookware to cool before washing it. It your have discoloration on your aluminum pots or pans, boil one quart or water and two tablespoons of cream of tartar in the discolored pot or pan for 10 minutes and the discoloration should disappear. Salt solutions, bleaches, disinfectants, and acidic products can cause corrosion on cookware. Therefore, reduce prolonged exposure to these things and never store these products in your Vollrath cookware. In addition, direct contact with salt can cause pitting on aluminum braziers and other cookware so add salt to boiling water to dissolve it.

- Do not be rushed (driver will not leave until you sign). If the driver rushes you it is more likely your items may have damage.
- If damage is extensive, please refuse it and contact Jean’s Restaurant Supply to send out a replacement.
- If damage is cosmetic and you choose to retain it, note it on the freight bill receipt, and contact the freight company to start the claim process. Then, contact Jean’s Restaurant Supply and notify us of the situation. We will assist you in that process.
2) Once you have received your items, unpack them immediately to ensure there is no hidden or concealed damage. If you find damage, do not discard any of the original packaging. Contact the freight company immediately and request an inspection within 5 days. Have your Freight Bill Receipt available with the tracking/pro number.
