Product Description
This Pujadas stock pot is a straightforward, workhorse piece of batch cookware built for professional kitchen use. Constructed from pure aluminium, it is designed for producing large volumes of stocks, soups, sauces, and other liquid-based preparations where consistent, even heat distribution across the base and sides is important to the end result.
Aluminium is a practical choice for stock pot construction in busy kitchens. It conducts heat efficiently and responds well to temperature changes, which helps maintain steady cooking conditions across a long service or extended batch. The extra-thick base resists deformation over time, which matters in a commercial environment where pots are in daily contact with high-output burners and induction or gas ranges. A base that retains its flat profile stays in full contact with the heat source, which both protects the pot and keeps energy use consistent.
From an operational standpoint, the design addresses a few common pain points:
- Thick-gauge aluminium walls distribute heat evenly, reducing hotspots during batch cooking
- Reinforced base resists warping under repeated high-temperature use
- Tubular stainless steel handles are insulated to reduce burn risk when moving a full pot
- Four rivets per handle provide a secure, long-term fixing under heavy daily use
- Pure aluminium construction is fully recyclable, supporting waste reduction objectives
This pot is sold without a lid, which suits kitchens where lids are managed separately across a shared set of cookware. If a lid is required, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering.
It is well suited to mid-to-large professional kitchens — hotel operations, contract catering, pub kitchens, and restaurant prep sections where batch production is a regular part of service. For very high-volume sites running continuous production, a heavier-duty pot in a larger capacity may be a better fit.
If you are unsure which capacity suits your typical batch size or want to check compatibility with your existing cookware, the team is happy to help you work through it before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Aluminium is an excellent conductor on gas and solid-top ranges, but it is not compatible with induction hobs, which require ferrous cookware. If your kitchen runs induction burners, you would need to look at a stainless steel or induction-ready alternative.
- Many professional kitchens manage lids across a shared set of cookware rather than storing them with individual pots, so selling without a lid keeps costs down for operations that already have compatible covers. If you need a lid, contact us with the diameter and we can advise on compatible options.
- The thicker gauge aluminium and reinforced base are intended to extend service life in environments where cookware is in daily, heavy use — regular contact with high-output burners, frequent washing, and general kitchen handling. Aluminium will develop a natural patina over time, which does not affect performance, though it should not be cleaned in a commercial dishwasher as this can cause discolouration and surface degradation.
