Description
The 68215 is from Vollrath's Classic Select line of aluminum braziers. It is the perfect casserole pot to use when slow cooking vegetables and meats because of the wide heating surface, and it is even NSF approved. This restaurant brazier is made from heavy gauge, impact resistant 3004 aluminum and it features solid welded aluminum handles to provide extra durability. The bottom of this aluminum pot is double-thick, and it heats evenly to eliminate hot spots. In addition, the top of this Vollrath cookware is also double-thick so it can withstand anything you put it up against. This aluminum brazier/rondo is very smooth on the inside so it is extremely easy to clean as well, and it has a holding capacity of 15 quarts.
Before using this 15 quart brazier for the first time, remove all the labels and stickers and wash the brazier in hot soapy water. It is also an excellent idea to season the rondo, as well as all new cookware, before using it. You can season your aluminum pots, pans, and cookware by applying vegetable oil or a small amount of shortening to the inside of the aluminum casserole pan. Then, heat the cookware on a medium burner for 5-10 minutes or until light smoke or heat waves appear. By this time the oil/shortening should be a deep amber color. Remove the pot or pan from the burner and allow the oil/shortening to cool before dumping it out and wiping the cookware with a paper towel. You should then wash your cookware one more time with warm soapy water, and it is ready for regular use.
It is really important that you never leave your Vollrath brazier or any other cookware on a heated surface if it is empty. We recommend using plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils when cooking and always allowing your cookware to cool before washing it to prevent burns and warping. You should wash your aluminum brazier by hand every time you wash it to keep it looking new and lasting longer. Because salt may cause pitting, add salt to boiling water to dissolve it. Salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, and acidic products like tomatoes can cause corrosion on Vollrath cookware. Therefore, avoid prolonged exposure to these products and never store these products in your Classic Select aluminm and stainless steel cookware.

- 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.
