Pujadas Aluminium Stock Pot Without Lid Ø400

The Pujadas Ø400 aluminium stock pot is a large-format cooking vessel designed for the demands of professional kitchens. Built from pure aluminium, it is well suited to batch cooking tasks — stocks, soups, broths, pasta water and large-scale sauce production — where consistent heat and a reliable workhorse pot are more important than anything else.

Aluminium conducts heat quickly and evenly across the base and sides, which matters when you are bringing large volumes of liquid up to temperature during a busy service. The extra-thick base is a practical detail: it resists warping under repeated high-heat use, maintains full contact with the heat source, and avoids the hot spots that can scorch stocks or cause uneven reduction. Over time, a pot that holds its shape uses energy more efficiently and performs more predictably.

A few features worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Thick-gauge aluminium construction resists impact and deformation over heavy daily use
• Extra-thick base maintains full contact with heat source for efficient, even heating
• Tubular stainless steel handles insulate against heat transfer during handling
• Four-rivet handle attachment on each side for secure, safe lifting under load
• Pure aluminium material supports recyclability at end of product life

The pot is supplied without a lid, which is worth factoring in if covered simmering or storage is part of your workflow — a compatible lid can be sourced separately. At this diameter, the pot is a practical fit for medium to high-volume operations: hotel kitchens, busy restaurant prep sections, and catering production environments. Smaller operations producing modest batch volumes may find a smaller size more practical, while very high-throughput sites with continuous production may want to consider a larger or heavier-duty vessel.

If you are unsure which size or specification suits your kitchen's output, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
