To provide durability, the Crown Steam GLTS-40 braising pan is finished with stainless steel, which can be wiped clean. Further facilitating cleaning, the interior corners are coved to avoid trapping debris and bacteria. For even heating, the cooking surface has an aluminum core. For smooth operation, this unit tilts using an electronic mechanism with a ball drive actuator, and if it's tilted more than 5 degrees during use, it will shut off.

The Crown Steam GLTS-40 tilting skillet has a solid-state thermostat that can be adjusted from 100 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and to prevent overheating, it will shut off if temperatures reach 536 degrees Fahrenheit. For security, it is mounted on adjustable flanged rear feet. To prevent water from dripping on the floor, it has a condensation guide that catches moisture.
