Due to the increased number of guests and devotees attending the Sunday feast it is becoming more difficult for the cooks to produce large amounts of prasadam (food offered to the Lord).

To fix this problem we can easily fit the kitchen with a piece of equipment known as a BRATT PAN. This is an ingenius piece of equipment that can cook halava, subjis, rice, gelabis, sauces, laddus, sweet rice, pastas, boil anything and a lot more in a very short time. For example, it can cook spinach for 300 people in 5 minutes because the bottom of the pan is 120 cm x 90 cm. This is a very large surface area compared to the surface area of our largest pots.

The bratt pan will cook 120 litres at once whereas currently we are using massive 60 and 80 litre pots with burners that can’t really cope with the demand.

Once cooking is completed, the tray tilts and pours into buckets and tubs for serving.  Another great advantage of the BRATT PAN is its ability to cook quickly, evenly and without mashing the vegetables, keeping its appearance fresh and whole.

Here are a couple of pictures of the beast with technical data below:

• Gas Bratt Pan
• 120 Litre Pan Capacity
• 12 mm thick stainless steel even heat base
• Auto ignition and Flame Failure Standard
• Electronic Thermostat Temperature control 50°C - 320°C
• Heavy duty spring balanced hinged lid
• Cold Water Connection
• Power 240/50/1+N+E; 10 amps
• 9001200 x 805 x 900mm(h); 280 kg
• WARRANTY: 12 months Parts & Labour

So the bottom line to serve all the assembled vaishnavas and guests is $12,695.

Your full or partial help with this project would not only be very much appreciated by the community at large but would also be long lasting with such a wonderful activity as distributing Krshna’s mercy in the form of prasadam to all.

Donations can be made on our website www.krishnafarm.com using the Paypal button on the left of the page, to Ajita or Gokula or by direct deposit into ISKCON NG BSB 034063 Account 136592. Please make a reference along with your payment to indicate that the donation is for the bratt pan.
