Pujadas Aluminium Casserole Without Lid Ø350

The Pujadas Ø350 aluminium casserole is a straightforward, robust cooking vessel from the Century Aluminium range, designed for the demands of professional kitchen service. Made from pure aluminium sheet, it is built to handle daily use across a range of cooking tasks — braising, sauces, stocks, and batch cooking — where consistent heat spread matters more than novelty.

Aluminium conducts heat quickly and evenly across the base and sides, which helps reduce the energy and time required to bring large volumes up to temperature. The extra-thick base is a practical detail: it resists warping under sustained heat and maintains full, flat contact with the heat source, which matters on both gas and solid-top ranges where an uneven base causes hot spots and inconsistent results.

A few features are worth noting for busy kitchen conditions:

• Thick-gauge construction resists impact and deformation from regular handling
• Tubular stainless steel handles are heat-insulating, reducing burn risk during service
• Four rivets per handle provide a secure, long-lasting attachment under heavy use
• Pure aluminium construction makes the pan relatively lightweight for its size
• No lid included — suited to open cooking, reduction work, or where a universal lid is already in use

As with all aluminium cookware, it is not suitable for induction hobs without an induction base adaptor. It is also worth noting that aluminium can react with highly acidic ingredients over prolonged cooking — something to bear in mind depending on your menu.

This casserole is well suited to busy prep and service kitchens in restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations where a reliable, no-fuss workhorse pan is needed at this diameter. For operations requiring significantly larger batch volumes, a broader or deeper vessel from the same range may be worth considering.
