Casserole Pans

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence casserole pan is a heavy-use stockpot-style pan from one of the most established names in professional cookware. Constructed in stainless steel and designed to sit within the Excellence range, it offers the build quality Matfer Bourgeat is known for at a more accessible price point than their top-tier lines. At 18.3 litres, this is a substantial pan suited to batch cooking, stocks, soups, braising, and large-volume sauce work.

In a busy kitchen, this size of pan earns its place on the range throughout service. The stainless steel construction handles high heat without warping under sustained use, and the pan is induction compatible, making it practical across both gas and induction hob installations. The 5.14kg base weight gives it enough stability when full without being unwieldy for kitchen staff to manage safely.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Induction compatible — works across gas and induction hob installations
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles commercial dishwashing
• Smooth interior supports thorough cleaning between services
• Large 18.3 litre capacity suits batch cooking and pre-service preparation
• Backed by a 10-year warranty, reflecting the build quality of the Excellence range

There are no specialist installation requirements — this is a freestanding pan that works with any compatible hob. Bear in mind that at full capacity this pan will be considerable in weight, so adequate hob support and safe handling practices are worth considering in a busy pass. A compatible lid is available separately (reference K837) and is worth ordering alongside if covered storage or gentle simmering is part of your workflow.

This pan suits mid-sized to larger professional kitchens preparing stocks, soups, or braised dishes in volume. For lighter day-to-day use or smaller operations, a smaller capacity from the same range may be more practical. If your kitchen routinely works at high volumes across multiple services, it is worth considering whether multiple smaller pans or a larger capacity vessel would better fit your workflow.

If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your kitchen's output, our team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Pujadas Red Casserole with Lid is a stainless steel braising and slow-cooking vessel from the Cool Line Colours range, finished in a bold red that makes it equally useful behind the pass and in front of guests. The 240mm diameter suits individual portions and small-batch preparations, and the fitted lid helps retain heat and moisture during cooking and holding.

In a working kitchen environment, coloured cookware like this earns its place when operators need to move food directly from the cooking source to the table without transferring to a separate serving dish. The stainless steel construction handles the demands of daily commercial use, and the induction-ready sandwich base means it works across gas, electric, vitro, and induction hobs without any adaptation.

• Stainless steel construction handles the rigours of regular commercial service
• Compatible with induction, gas, vitro, and electric cooking surfaces
• Fitted lid retains heat and moisture during braising and holding
• Red finish supports front-of-house presentation straight from the hob
• Ergonomic handles allow safe movement from stove to table

It is worth considering that the 240mm size is best suited to individual or small-portion service. Operations preparing larger batch quantities or covering high covers consistently may find a bigger vessel more practical. This size works well in restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where portion control and table presentation are priorities.

If you are putting together a set of coloured cookware or want guidance on which sizes work best across a particular menu style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Vogue 4.5Ltr casserole pan is a straightforward, well-made piece of cookware designed for everyday use in professional kitchens. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, it offers the corrosion resistance and durability expected in a commercial environment, and the welded stay-cool handles make it practical to move safely during service without additional cloths or mitts.

In a working kitchen, a pan at this capacity is most useful for smaller batch cooking, sauces, soups, and side preparations rather than high-volume production. The stainless steel construction handles repeated heating and cooling without warping under normal use, and the smooth interior cleans down quickly between services — an important consideration when turnaround time between covers is tight.

• Induction compatible, so it works across a broad range of hob types without modification
• Welded handles reduce the risk of loosening under repeated use compared to riveted alternatives
• 18/10 stainless steel construction resists staining and holds up well in commercial dishwashers
• Versatile enough for hob, oven, or bain-marie use in most kitchen setups

At 4.5 litres, this pan suits small to medium operations — a café kitchen, pub kitchen, or smaller restaurant where batch sizes are modest. It is not a high-volume production pan; kitchens with greater throughput demands would be better served by a larger capacity within the same range. Compatibility with induction hobs makes it a practical choice where kitchens are moving away from gas or running mixed hob configurations.

If you have questions about which size or configuration would work best for your service, the team is happy to talk it through.

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.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service volumes or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Pujadas Black Series casserole is a professional-grade cooking vessel from a well-regarded Spanish cookware manufacturer with a long history of supplying commercial kitchens across Europe. This 280mm version is part of a consistent, cohesive range built specifically for foodservice use — not a domestic product repositioned for catering.

In everyday kitchen service, a reliable non-stick casserole at this size handles a broad range of tasks: braising, sauce reductions, shallow poaching, and general wet cooking where consistent heat distribution and easy release matter. The induction compatibility makes it suitable for modern induction hobs, which are increasingly common in professional kitchens where heat control, energy efficiency, and a cooler cooking environment are priorities. It performs equally well on gas and conventional electric hobs, which gives it flexibility across different kitchen setups.

The practical advantages of the Black Series coating in a working kitchen environment include:

• Quicker cleaning between service periods, reducing turnaround time
• Lower fat requirements for cooking, supporting healthier menu preparation
• Consistent release of delicate preparations such as egg-based dishes or glazed proteins
• Broad hob compatibility, including induction, gas, and ceramic

This casserole is supplied without a lid. If your application requires retained heat or covered braising, a compatible lid will need to be sourced separately — worth considering before purchase if lid-on cooking forms part of your workflow.

The 280mm diameter suits small-to-medium service operations well: a busy café kitchen, a hotel breakfast section, or a restaurant mise en place station. For higher-volume operations producing larger batch quantities in a single vessel, a larger size within the Black Series range may be more appropriate.

If you're building out a cookware set or want to confirm the right size for your particular use, the team are happy to talk it through.

The Pujadas Black Series 200mm casserole is a professional non-stick pan designed for use across induction, gas, and electric hob surfaces. Part of Pujadas's well-regarded Black Series cookware range, it is built for repeated daily use in commercial kitchens rather than occasional domestic cooking. The pan is supplied without a lid, which is worth confirming against your operational requirements before ordering.

In a working kitchen environment, non-stick casseroles of this size are commonly used for sauces, braised portions, accompaniments, and smaller batch preparations. The 200mm diameter suits single-portion or small-batch work rather than high-volume production, making it a practical addition to the pass or sauce section rather than the main bulk cooking line.

• Non-stick interior reduces food adhesion and simplifies cleaning between services
• Induction-compatible base gives flexibility across hob types
• Compact 200mm diameter suits small-batch and à la carte cooking
• Part of a coordinated cookware range, allowing consistent kit across sections

As a smaller pan without a lid, this piece is best suited to kitchens where precise, controlled cooking of smaller quantities is part of the daily workflow — restaurant sauce sections, hotel kitchens, and catering operations with varied menu requirements are typical users. If your operation involves larger batch volumes or you need a lidded option, the Black Series range includes additional sizes and configurations worth considering.

If you are building out a section or replacing existing cookware and want to talk through the right mix of sizes for your menu, we are happy to help.

The Pujadas Black Series deep casserole is a professional-grade cooking vessel designed for daily use in commercial kitchen environments. The 280mm diameter gives a generous cooking surface suited to batch cooking, braises, stocks, and slow-cooked dishes. It is supplied without a lid, so if a covered cooking method is required, a compatible lid will need to be sourced separately.

In a busy service kitchen, cookware takes consistent punishment — high heat, heavy loads, rapid temperature changes, and frequent washing. The Black Series is built to withstand that kind of daily demand, and the non-stick coating is designed to perform reliably over extended use rather than degrade quickly under commercial conditions. Induction compatibility makes it practical across a range of modern range and induction hob setups without needing a separate pan for each cooking surface.

Operationally, a pan at this size and depth is useful across a range of kitchen types:

• Suitable for braises, casseroles, sauces, and stocks in high-volume service
• Non-stick surface supports easier food release and faster clean-down between services
• Induction-compatible for use on both induction and conventional hobs
• Deep profile helps reduce spillage risk during transport and during service
• Part of a coordinated Black Series range for consistent performance across the brigade

For lighter catering applications or smaller operations, a narrower pan within the Black Series may be more practical. Conversely, kitchens running very high volumes may want to consider multiple units or larger-format options to manage throughput during peak periods.

If you are building out a new cookware kit or replacing existing stock and want to make sure you are specifying the right sizes and quantities for your operation, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Pujadas Black Series square casserole is a professional-grade cookware piece designed for use across induction, gas, and other common heat sources found in commercial kitchens. The 240mm square format gives it a slightly different cooking geometry to a standard round pan, making it well suited to presenting individual portions, braised dishes, or oven-to-table service where a neat square shape has practical appeal. It is supplied without a lid, so operators requiring a covered cook should factor that into their order.

The non-stick coating is aimed at reducing food adhesion during cooking and easing the clean-down process during and after service — a practical consideration in any kitchen running a busy pass. Induction compatibility means it can be used directly on induction hobs without adaptors, which is increasingly relevant as more kitchens move to induction for efficiency and safety reasons.

• Non-stick interior reduces food adhesion and simplifies cleaning during service
• Compatible with induction hobs as well as other standard heat sources
• Square format suits portion-controlled or oven-to-table presentation
• Part of the Pujadas Black Series range for consistent cookware across a brigade
• Supplied without lid — suitable where covering is not required

This casserole is best suited to smaller operations, single-cover restaurants, or as a supplementary piece in larger kitchens where a compact square format has a specific role. For high-volume operations requiring greater capacity or heavier-duty construction, a larger or more robust piece from the wider range may be worth considering.

If you are building out a cookware set or are unsure whether this size and format fits your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This Pujadas deep casserole is made from cast aluminium with a non-stick interior coating and a painted bronze exterior finish. The 240mm diameter and deeper profile make it a practical choice for dishes that benefit from longer, slower cooking with higher moisture evaporation — rice-based dishes, stews, and braised preparations in particular. The ground base ensures stable, even contact with the heat source.

Cast aluminium is a well-established material in professional kitchens for good reason. It distributes heat evenly across the base and sides, reducing the likelihood of hot spots that can catch sauces or burn rice. The impact-resistant construction holds up well in the kind of daily handling that lighter-gauge pans often struggle with, and the non-stick coating helps with both cooking performance and end-of-service cleaning.

From a practical standpoint, this pan offers a few straightforward advantages for kitchen teams:

• Even heat distribution reduces the need for constant stirring or repositioning
• Non-stick coating speeds up cleaning between services
• Durable cast construction resists warping under repeated thermal cycling
• Lidless design suits dishes that require controlled evaporation
• Bronze exterior finish gives a presentable appearance if serving directly to table

This pan is suitable for gas and solid-top ranges. It is worth confirming compatibility if you are working with induction hobs, as cast aluminium without a bonded ferrous base plate will not work on induction. The 240mm size is well suited to smaller batch cooking or à la carte service rather than large-volume production, where a bigger or heavier-gauge pan would be more appropriate.

This casserole works well in tapas restaurants, Spanish-style kitchens, or any operation regularly preparing rice dishes and slow-cooked stews in moderate volumes. If your service volumes are higher or you need a larger cooking surface, it is worth exploring other sizes within the Pujadas cast aluminium range.

If you are unsure whether this pan suits your hob type or service style, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence casserole pan is a straightforward, well-made stainless steel saucepan from a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in professional kitchens. At 12.8 litres, it sits in a useful mid-range capacity that covers a broad range of sauce, stock, and braising tasks without taking up excessive space on a busy range or induction hob.

In practice, this size works well in kitchens producing 40 to 100 covers, where a consistent volume of sauces or soups needs to be held and replenished during service. The pan is induction compatible, which makes it suitable for kitchens running induction suites as well as those on conventional gas or electric ranges. Stainless steel construction handles daily use reliably and stands up to commercial dishwashing without degrading over time.

The practical advantages for a kitchen team are fairly clear:

• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hobs
• Stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to clean
• 12.8-litre capacity suits batch cooking and sauce production during service
• Backed by a 10-year warranty, reflecting solid build quality for the price point
• Part of a consistent range, so it integrates well with other Excellence cookware

There are no unusual installation requirements — this is a standalone pan that needs no plumbing or electrical connection. Bear in mind that at just under 13 litres, it is not the right choice for high-volume bulk production; kitchens preparing large batch quantities would be better served by a higher-capacity stockpot. Equally, for very small operations, a smaller pan from the same range may be more practical day to day.

This pan is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations looking for reliable, everyday cookware that will hold up to repeated use without requiring frequent replacement. If you are building out a new cookware set or are unsure which sizes will suit your service style, our team is happy to help you work through what you need.

The Pujadas Ø320 aluminium casserole is a straightforward, well-made cooking vessel from a manufacturer with a long-standing presence in professional kitchens. Built from pure aluminium, it is designed primarily for stove-top use where even heat distribution and quick response to temperature changes are more useful than the heat retention properties of heavier cast materials.

Aluminium conducts heat rapidly and evenly across the base and sides, which makes this style of pan well suited to sauces, braised dishes, stocks, and bulk vegetable cookery where consistent temperature control matters. The extra-thick base helps the pan maintain contact with the heat source and resists the warping that can occur with thinner-gauge alternatives used in high-frequency service.

For kitchens running this pan through heavy daily use, a few practical points are worth noting:

• Stainless steel tubular handles stay cooler than the pan body and are secured with four rivets per handle for long-term reliability
• The aluminium construction keeps the pan lighter than equivalent cast iron or steel options, reducing fatigue during service
• Pure aluminium reacts with strongly acidic or alkaline ingredients over time — worth considering if the pan is regularly used for tomato-based or high-vinegar preparations
• Suitable for gas and solid-top ranges; not compatible with induction hobs without an interface disc
• Supplied without a lid — a matching or universal lid will be needed if covered cooking is part of your workflow

This pan is a practical choice for catering operations, pub kitchens, and contract catering environments that need reliable, lightweight cookware for general service. For higher-volume sites or those requiring induction compatibility, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or induction-ready alternative would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this size works for your service volumes or menu requirements, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Pujadas Black Series casserole is a professional-grade cookware piece designed for daily use on induction hobs in commercial kitchen environments. At 360mm, it sits at the larger end of the casserole range and is well suited to batch cooking, braising, and sauce work where consistent heat distribution matters throughout a service period.

Pujadas cookware is a recognised choice in professional kitchens, and the Black Series is built to handle the kind of repetitive use that wears through lighter domestic-grade pans quickly. The non-stick coating supports both cooking performance and cleaning speed — two things that matter considerably when a kitchen is turning covers at pace. Even heat spread across the base helps prevent hot spots that can catch sauces or damage delicate proteins.

In practical terms, this pan offers operators a few tangible advantages during service:

• Non-stick surface reduces oil usage and simplifies cleaning between uses
• Induction compatibility gives full flexibility across modern hob configurations
• The 360mm diameter supports larger portion volumes without crowding
• Robust construction handles the temperature cycling of a busy service

This model is supplied without a lid, which suits kitchens that use their own standard lids or where open braising is the primary application. If covered cooking is a regular requirement, it is worth confirming lid compatibility before ordering.

This pan is a practical choice for restaurants, contract caterers, and hospitality operations that need reliable induction-compatible cookware for everyday service. Kitchens running very high volumes may want to consider a heavier-duty option from the wider range.

If you are building out a cookware inventory or are unsure which sizes best suit your menu and service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This Pujadas shallow casserole is made from cast aluminium with a bronze-painted exterior finish. The lidless, wide-profile design is intended specifically for dishes that benefit from active evaporation during cooking — rice dishes, stews, and braises where moisture reduction is part of the method rather than something to be avoided. The ground base ensures stable, even contact with the heat source.

Cast aluminium distributes heat evenly and holds temperature well once up to service heat, which helps avoid the hot spots that can catch rice or cause uneven reduction in stewed dishes. The material is impact-resistant and resists deformation under the daily handling pressures of a busy kitchen — being dropped, stacked, or moved around a range repeatedly. The anti-adherent interior surface reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning between services.

From a practical standpoint, this pan suits kitchens where these kinds of dishes appear regularly on the menu:

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of scorching on prolonged, low-heat cooking
• Lidless shallow profile promotes controlled evaporation for rice and stew-style dishes
• Impact-resistant cast construction holds up to daily commercial use
• Anti-adherent interior aids cleaning and reduces food waste
• Bronze exterior finish is presentable enough for table service in appropriate settings

There are no significant installation requirements — this is a standalone piece of cookware suitable for gas, electric solid-top, or induction ranges, provided the base is compatible with the heat source in use. It is worth confirming induction compatibility directly if that is your primary cooking surface.

This pan is well suited to restaurants, tapas-style operations, or contract catering kitchens where rice-based dishes or slow-cooked stews form a regular part of the menu. It is a mid-size piece — suitable for batch cooking at section level rather than large-scale volume production. If your operation requires significantly larger batch sizes, a bigger diameter or deeper vessel may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a cookware range or are unsure which size suits your menu, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Pujadas Bronze Deep Casserole is a cast aluminium cooking vessel from Pujadas's established bronze cookware range. Designed without a lid, it is intended for dishes that benefit from open, high-evaporation cooking — rice, stews, braised dishes, and similar preparations where moisture reduction is part of the cooking process. The ground base ensures flat, consistent contact with the heat source, and the exterior carries a bronze-toned painted finish.

Cast aluminium offers practical advantages in a working kitchen. It heats evenly and retains that heat well through the cooking process, which helps maintain consistency when cooking larger batches. The material is impact-resistant and holds its shape under the day-to-day handling that commercial cookware routinely faces. The non-stick interior surface reduces food adhesion, which matters both during cooking and when it comes to cleaning down at the end of service.

• Even heat distribution supports consistent results across the full base
• Non-stick interior reduces sticking and speeds up post-service cleaning
• Impact-resistant cast construction handles regular kitchen use without deforming
• Open design suits dishes requiring evaporation and reduction
• Ground base ensures stable contact on flat heat sources

This is a direct-heat cookware item. It is worth confirming compatibility with your specific hob type — cast aluminium performs well on gas and standard electric, but induction compatibility should be verified before purchase. The 200mm diameter makes it appropriate for single-portion or small-batch cooking rather than bulk production.

This casserole suits smaller operations — tapas kitchens, Spanish or Mediterranean restaurants, and catering teams preparing individual or two-portion dishes to order. For higher-volume sites requiring larger batch cooking, a bigger vessel from the same range or a heavier-gauge option may be more practical.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service style, or want to compare it against other options in the Pujadas range, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Pujadas Black Series square casserole is a professional-grade pan designed for use across induction, gas, and other heat sources commonly found in commercial kitchens. The square format maximises usable cooking area relative to the footprint on a hob or range, which can be a practical advantage when space on a busy station is limited. It is supplied without a lid, so operators should factor that in if covered cooking or holding is part of the intended use.

The non-stick coating is intended to reduce sticking during service and simplify cleaning between courses or at the end of a shift. In a busy kitchen environment, that reduction in cleaning time and the lower fat requirement for certain dishes can contribute to a more efficient workflow, particularly on high-turnover services.

• Non-stick surface reduces fat usage and simplifies between-service cleaning
• Square format makes efficient use of hob space during busy service
• Compatible with induction hobs, suitable for modern commercial kitchen setups
• Well suited to braised dishes, sauces, and single-portion or small-batch cooking
• Part of the broader Pujadas Black Series range for consistent pan performance across a section

As with all non-stick cookware in a commercial setting, longevity of the coating depends on correct utensil use and cleaning practice. Metal utensils and abrasive cleaning will reduce the lifespan of the surface, so operators should ensure kitchen teams are briefed accordingly. This pan is best suited to lower-volume or à la carte environments rather than high-throughput bulk cooking, where a plain steel or cast alternative may prove more durable over time.

If you are building out a cookware range for a new section or want to check this pan fits your hob configuration, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Pujadas Black Series square casserole is a professional-grade piece of cookware from an established Spanish manufacturer with a long track record in commercial kitchen supply. The square format makes practical use of hob space and suits portion-controlled cooking, braising, and sauce work where a consistent, even cook is important. This item is supplied without a lid.

The non-stick coating and induction-compatible base make it a versatile choice for kitchens running mixed hob configurations. Induction compatibility means the pan responds quickly to temperature changes, which is useful during busy service when control matters. The non-stick surface reduces the need for excess fat and simplifies cleaning at the end of service — both practical considerations in a professional environment.

• Induction-compatible base suitable for mixed hob setups
• Non-stick interior reduces fat use and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• Square format makes efficient use of hob space
• Well suited to braising, sauce work, and individual portion cooking
• Supplied without lid — compatible lids may be available separately

This size is best suited to smaller-volume cooking tasks, individual portions, or mise en place work rather than high-throughput batch cooking. Kitchens with greater volume demands, or where the pan will see very heavy daily use, may find a larger or more heavy-duty option better suited to their needs.

If you are building out a cookware range or want guidance on matching pan sizes to your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 25-litre casserole pan is a large-format stainless steel pan designed for professional kitchen use. It forms part of Matfer Bourgeat's Excellence range, which is built to the same standard of construction as the broader Matfer catalogue but positioned at a more accessible price point without compromising on durability or performance.

At 25 litres, this pan is well suited to high-volume batch cooking — stocks, soups, braises, blanching liquids, and sauces that need to be held or replenished across a busy service. The capacity makes it a practical choice for catering operations serving large covers, banqueting kitchens, or production environments where cooking in smaller quantities would slow throughput. The pan is induction compatible, which gives it flexibility across different hob configurations, including modern induction suites.

Key practical characteristics of this pan include:

• Stainless steel construction suited to the rigours of daily professional use
• Induction compatible for use across a range of hob types
• A 10-year warranty, reflecting confidence in the build quality
• Compatible lid available separately (reference K838)
• Straightforward to clean and maintain in a commercial kitchen environment

At just over 6kg empty, this is a substantial piece of cookware. When full, operators should factor in the combined weight when considering workflow — particularly for kitchen teams moving pans from hob to service station. Storage space and rack capacity are worth considering at this size.

This pan is best suited to kitchens with consistent demand for batch cooking. For sites with lighter, more occasional needs, a smaller capacity from the same range may be more appropriate. Equally, very high-output production kitchens may find value in heavier-gauge or larger alternatives.

If you are building out a cookware specification or are unsure which size suits your service volume, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Pujadas Black Series casserole is a professional-grade cookware piece designed for commercial kitchen environments where reliability and consistent results matter across a busy service. The 400mm diameter makes it a practical choice for batch cooking, braising, and sauce work where volume is a consideration. It is supplied without a lid, so operators sourcing a covered option will need to confirm lid compatibility separately.

In day-to-day service, the non-stick coating supports efficient cooking with reduced fat usage and makes food release straightforward during plating. The induction-compatible base means it can be used on induction hobs as well as conventional gas and electric ranges, which suits kitchens running mixed hob configurations or those transitioning to induction. The Black Series construction is built with the demands of professional use in mind — it is not a domestic product dressed up for trade.

From an operational standpoint, this pan offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Non-stick surface reduces sticking and simplifies mid-service cleaning
• Induction-ready base works across multiple hob types
• 400mm diameter provides useful capacity for batch preparation
• Suitable for braising, sauce reduction, and general stovetop cooking
• Supplied without lid — keeps cost down where a cover is not required

This casserole is well suited to restaurants, contract caterers, and hospitality kitchens looking for dependable cookware at a professional standard. For very high-turnover operations where cookware takes significant daily punishment, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge option from the range would offer better longevity under continuous use.

If you are building out a cookware set or are unsure which size or configuration best fits your service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence casserole pan is a straightforward, well-made stainless steel saucepan designed for professional kitchen use. It sits within Matfer Bourgeat's mid-range Excellence line, which is aimed at operations that want reliable French-made cookware without the price point of the top-tier ranges. The pan is induction compatible, making it a practical choice for kitchens running induction hobs alongside or instead of gas.

In daily service, an 8.6-litre capacity sits comfortably in the mid-range for brigade use — useful for stocks, sauces, soups, and braised preparations where a smaller saucepan would need constant topping up but a full stockpot would be excessive. The stainless steel construction handles repeated heating and cooling cycles without warping, and the weight at just over 2.6kg keeps it manageable when full. A matching lid is available separately if covered cooking or holding is required.

Operators choosing this pan typically value:

• Induction compatibility for use across different hob types
• A capacity well suited to small-batch sauce and soup production
• Stainless steel construction that cleans quickly and withstands commercial dishwasher cycles
• A 10-year warranty that reflects the quality standard Matfer Bourgeat holds across the Excellence range

There are no particular installation requirements — this is a freestanding pan that works on any suitable hob. It is worth confirming your hob's base diameter recommendation against the 280mm base before ordering, particularly on induction, where base-to-ring sizing affects efficiency.

This pan is well suited to small to medium kitchens, café operations, and as part of a broader batterie de cuisine in larger brigades. If your service volumes are consistently high and you need larger batch capacity, it is worth looking at heavier-gauge or larger-format options in the range.

If you are building out a pan set or are unsure which capacities best match your menu and service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence casserole pan is a straightforward, well-made stainless steel pan from one of the most established names in professional cookware. The Excellence range sits within Matfer Bourgeat's broader professional line, offering the build quality the brand is known for at a more accessible price point — without compromising on the durability expected in a working kitchen environment.

In daily kitchen use, this pan handles stocks, sauces, braised dishes, and wet preparations comfortably. The 5-litre capacity makes it a practical mid-range size — large enough for batch cooking during prep, manageable enough for à la carte service where portion control matters. The stainless steel construction holds up well under repeated heating, washing, and general handling without warping or discolouring over time.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Induction compatible, so it works across gas, electric, and induction hobs without restriction
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and supports high-temperature washing
• At under 2kg, it is easy to handle when full during busy service periods
• The lid is sold separately — worth confirming you have the correct lid reference when ordering
• Backed by a 10-year warranty, which reflects the expected service life in professional use

There are no complex installation requirements — this is a standard direct-heat pan suitable for any commercial hob setup. It is worth considering whether a 5-litre capacity fits your actual service volume; for high-output operations cooking larger batches, a bigger pan from the same range may be more practical.

This pan suits professional kitchens looking for reliable everyday cookware that will last — from restaurant kitchens and hotel operations to contract catering and staff dining. If you are building out a cookware set or replacing worn stock, the team are happy to help you work out the right sizes and quantities for your operation.

The Pujadas Ø280 aluminium casserole is a straightforward, workhorse piece of cookware built for daily use in professional kitchen environments. Without a lid, it is particularly well suited to reduction work, braising on the stove, and service-side presentation where easy access to the contents matters. The aluminium construction gives it strong thermal conductivity, meaning heat spreads evenly across the base and sides rather than concentrating in one area.

In a busy kitchen, consistency matters as much as raw performance. The extra-thick base on this pan helps it maintain even contact with the heat source, which supports steadier cooking temperatures and reduces the risk of hot spots that can catch sauces or damage proteins. The construction also resists the everyday knocks and drops that are unavoidable in high-tempo service environments.

From a practical standpoint, the pan offers a few features that make a genuine difference during service:

• Tubular stainless steel handles designed to stay cooler during cooking, reducing burn risk
• Four-rivet handle attachment on each side for secure, reliable grip under load
• Even heat distribution across the aluminium body supports consistent cooking results
• Thick base maintains shape over time, keeping full contact with heat sources

It is worth noting that this pan is aluminium rather than stainless steel or cast iron, so it is not suitable for induction hobs without an induction disc. It is also supplied without a lid, so if covered cooking is part of your workflow, that will need to be sourced separately.

This pan is a practical choice for restaurants, hotels, contract caterers, and catering colleges where reliable, everyday cookware is needed in volume. If your operation runs at very high throughput or requires induction compatibility, it is worth discussing your requirements with us before ordering.

This Pujadas aluminium casserole is a large-format, lidless cooking vessel from the Century Aluminium range, built for professional kitchen use. Made from pure aluminium sheet, it is designed to handle the demands of daily volume cooking — braising, simmering, and preparing bulk batches across a busy service period.

Aluminium is well regarded in commercial kitchens for its ability to conduct heat quickly and evenly, which helps reduce the time and energy needed to bring large volumes up to temperature. The extra-thick base on this pan resists the warping that can occur with lighter cookware over prolonged heavy use, keeping the vessel in consistent contact with the heat source throughout service.

Key practical features include:

• Thick-gauge aluminium construction resists deformation under sustained heat
• Extra-thick base maintains full contact with the heat source, supporting even cooking
• Tubular stainless steel handles are heat-insulating, reducing burn risk during handling
• Handles secured with four rivets each, giving a firm, stable grip under load
• Pure aluminium construction is fully recyclable

Being supplied without a lid, this pan suits operations where a lid is already held in stock, or where open cooking methods are the norm. It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing lids before ordering if you intend to use it covered. Aluminium cookware of this size performs well on gas ranges and solid-top hobs; suitability for induction should be confirmed before purchase, as standard aluminium is not induction-compatible.

The Ø450 size is well suited to kitchens cooking for larger numbers — contract catering, hotel banqueting, and institutional kitchens where bulk preparation is routine. For lighter-volume operations, smaller pans from the same range may be more practical day to day. For sites needing a covered vessel from the outset, a casserole-with-lid option is also available in the catalogue.

If you are building out a cookware set or are unsure which sizes suit your service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Pujadas Black Series casserole is a straight-sided, deep-bodied pan designed for professional kitchen use. The 300mm diameter makes it a practical mid-to-large size for braising, saucing, and slow-cooked preparations, and the non-stick interior coating reduces the risk of food adhesion during service and simplifies cleaning at the end of a busy shift. It is supplied without a lid, so operators will need to source a matching cover separately if the cooking method requires one.

In a working kitchen, non-stick casseroles of this size earn their place on the line for sauce reductions, braised meat preparations, and dishes that benefit from a controlled, even heat transfer. The induction-compatible base means it performs reliably on both induction and conventional hob types, giving it flexibility across different kitchen configurations — useful where equipment is updated incrementally or varies across sites.

• Non-stick interior simplifies cleaning and reduces food waste from sticking
• Induction-compatible base works across induction and conventional hobs
• Straight-sided, deep body suits braising, saucing, and volume prep work
• Part of the Pujadas Black Series — a consistent, coordinated professional cookware range
• Supplied without lid — allows pairing with a compatible cover of your choice

It is worth noting that non-stick coatings in commercial use benefit from proper care — avoiding metal utensils and abrasive cleaning will extend the working life of the surface considerably. For very high-volume operations or kitchens with demanding throughput, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge or uncoated alternative may be more appropriate for certain tasks.

This casserole suits restaurants, hotels, and catering operations looking to build a reliable, coordinated cookware set. If you are equipping a full section or have questions about matching lids or the wider Black Series range, the team is happy to help you put together the right selection.

The Pujadas Black Series shallow casserole is a professional-grade cooking pan designed for general service use in commercial kitchens. At 360mm, it sits in a practical mid-to-large size range — useful for braising, sautéing, and preparing sauces or side dishes at volume. It is supplied without a lid, so if covered cooking is part of your workflow, a compatible lid will need to be sourced separately.

Pujadas cookware is commonly used across restaurant and contract catering kitchens where reliable, consistent performance matters more than novelty. The Black Series range is built with everyday professional use in mind — suited to the pace and repetition of a working kitchen rather than occasional light-duty tasks.

From an operational standpoint, a shallow casserole of this size tends to earn its place on the line as a versatile workhorse:

• Practical size for batch cooking or multi-portion service
• Shallow profile allows good heat distribution and easy stirring or turning
• Well suited to gas and solid-top hob use in professional kitchen environments
• Robust construction consistent with the demands of regular commercial service
• Straightforward to clean and maintain as part of a standard pot-wash routine

There are no complex installation requirements — this is standalone cookware that simply needs a suitable heat source. If you are stocking a new kitchen or replacing ageing pans across a brigade, it is worth considering whether this size is the right match for your typical batch sizes, or whether a larger or smaller option from the range would serve the team better.

If you are building out a cookware set or unsure which sizes best suit your menu and covers, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus casserole pan is a heavy-gauge stainless steel pan designed for everyday use across professional kitchen environments. Built to handle the demands of continuous service, it is compatible with all cooking surfaces including induction, making it a practical choice for kitchens running mixed or upgraded equipment.

In service, a pan of this capacity handles stocks, soups, sauces, braised dishes, and blanching tasks comfortably. The robust construction holds up under repeated heating, heavy stirring, and the kind of daily handling that lighter domestic-grade pans do not tolerate well. The reinforced non-drip pouring edge is a practical detail that reduces spillage during plating and portioning under pressure.

Key operational advantages include:

• Compatible with gas, electric, solid top, and induction hobs without adaptation
• Reinforced non-drip edge reduces spillage during service
• Stay-cool handle design improves safe handling during busy periods
• Watertight lid seal (lid sold separately) supports holding and gentle simmering
• Heavy-duty build tolerates daily commercial use and repeated cleaning cycles

The pan is suitable for dishwasher cleaning, though hand washing will extend the finish life in high-cycle environments. At just under 5kg empty, it has a solid feel without being unwieldy for kitchen staff. As with all Matfer Bourgeat cookware, build quality is consistent across the range, which is one reason it is commonly found in professional kitchens where reliability matters more than price.

This size works well for medium-output sections — comfortably serving 20 to 40 covers depending on the dish. Smaller operations running tight menus will find it versatile; higher-volume sites producing large batch quantities may find a larger capacity option better suited to their throughput.

If you are equipping a section from scratch or replacing existing cookware and want a steer on the right sizes and quantities for your volume, we are happy to talk it through.

This Pujadas deep casserole is cast from aluminium with a non-stick, abrasion-resistant interior coating and a painted bronze exterior finish. The ground base ensures even contact with the heat source, and the cast construction gives the pan good thermal mass — it heats steadily and holds temperature well once up to service temperature. The lidless, open design is deliberate: it suits dishes that benefit from active evaporation during cooking, such as rice, braised meats, and slow-cooked stews.

Cast aluminium performs reliably in busy kitchen environments where pans take regular knocks and temperature swings. It is resistant to warping and deformation under the stresses of day-to-day commercial use, which matters when a pan is in and out of service continuously across a long shift. The anti-adherent coating reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning between services, which is a practical advantage when turnaround time is tight.

From an operational standpoint, this pan is well suited to:

• Rice dishes, paellas, and risottos where controlled evaporation is part of the cooking process
• Braised and stewed dishes held at temperature during service
• Direct hob use across gas and solid-top ranges
• High-rotation kitchens where durability and ease of cleaning matter

The 280mm diameter makes this a mid-sized working pan — practical for batch cooking at a section level rather than large-scale volume production. It is worth considering whether your typical batch size suits this capacity; for higher-output operations, a larger diameter from the same range may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a cookware specification or want to confirm suitability for a particular menu or cooking method, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Pujadas Ø240 aluminium casserole is a straightforward, well-constructed pan from Pujadas's Century aluminium cookware range. Made from pure aluminium, it is built for the kind of daily, repetitive use that commercial kitchens demand — stocks, braises, sauces, and batch-cooked dishes that need consistent heat and a reliable vessel that will not warp or degrade quickly under regular service conditions.

Aluminium conducts heat quickly and evenly, which is a practical advantage in a busy kitchen where consistency matters and energy efficiency has a real cost implication over time. The extra-thick base is designed to maintain full contact with the heat source, reducing hot spots and helping operators keep temperatures stable without constant adjustment. The stainless steel tubular handles are heat-insulating and attached with four rivets per handle, which is a meaningful detail — riveted handle attachments hold up far better than welded fittings under the mechanical stress of being picked up, moved, and set down repeatedly across a full service.

• Rapid, even heat distribution reduces the need for temperature correction mid-service
• Reinforced base resists deformation, maintaining contact with the heat source over time
• Heat-insulating stainless steel handles reduce burn risk during busy service
• Four-rivet handle attachment provides long-term structural reliability
• Pure aluminium construction is lightweight and straightforward to clean

This is an open pan — no lid is included. For kitchens that need a covered option, a compatible lid is worth sourcing alongside it. The Ø240 size suits moderate batch cooking; for larger volume production, a bigger diameter from the same range would be more appropriate.

This Pujadas shallow casserole is made from cast aluminium with a bronzed exterior finish. The lidless, wide-bodied design is intended specifically for dishes that benefit from active evaporation during cooking — rice, paellas, braised stews, and similar preparations where moisture control matters as much as heat.

Cast aluminium distributes heat evenly across the base and sides, which reduces the risk of hot spots and uneven cooking. The ground base ensures good contact with flat cooking surfaces, and the material holds temperature steadily once up to heat. In a busy service environment, that consistency is more useful than a pan that responds erratically to burner changes. The anti-adherent coating is abrasion-resistant, which matters in a professional kitchen where pans see daily use and regular cleaning.

Practically speaking, this pan suits operations that serve rice-based dishes regularly — Spanish-style kitchens, tapas concepts, contract catering, or any venue where paella or arroz dishes feature on the menu. The bronze exterior gives it a presentable appearance if the pan moves front-of-house, though its primary design intent is production cooking.

• Even heat distribution reduces risk of hot spots during service
• Ground base ensures stable contact with flat hob surfaces
• Abrasion-resistant coating holds up to regular commercial use
• Wide, shallow profile promotes controlled evaporation
• Durable cast construction resists impact and deformation

For most kitchen volumes, a single 320mm pan handles a good portion of a service batch. Teams running higher volumes across multiple covers should consider whether a larger diameter or a second pan in rotation better suits their throughput. If you are unsure which size fits your service style, our team is happy to talk it through before you order.

This Pujadas shallow casserole is cast from aluminium and finished in a bronze exterior coating. The lidless, open design is well suited to dishes that benefit from active evaporation during cooking — rice dishes, paellas, and slow stews are the most common applications. The ground base ensures good contact with the heat source, which is particularly useful on solid-top ranges and commercial induction surfaces where consistent conduction matters.

Cast aluminium holds and distributes heat evenly across the base and sides, reducing the risk of hotspots that can scorch ingredients in rice or grain-based dishes. The anti-adherent interior surface is described by the manufacturer as abrasion-resistant, which helps maintain performance under regular kitchen use and repeated washing. The rigid cast construction resists warping and deformation, which is a practical concern with thinner pressed-pan alternatives over time.

In a working kitchen environment, this type of shallow casserole is useful for:

• Rice dishes and paellas where controlled moisture reduction is needed
• Braised and stewed preparations requiring consistent base heat
• Presentation-to-pass or oven-to-table service formats
• Batch cooking on solid-top or gas ranges

It is worth noting that cast aluminium is heavier than pressed alternatives, which is worth considering if kitchen staff will be handling multiple units frequently during service. The 240mm diameter positions this as a per-portion or small-batch vessel rather than a high-volume production pan — operations cooking for larger covers may find it better suited to individual plating or tableside presentation than bulk preparation.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service style or menu format, the team is happy to talk through the options with you.

The Pujadas Red Casserole with Lid is part of the Cool Line Colours range — a line of stainless steel cookware finished in distinctive coloured exteriors designed for kitchens where presentation matters as much as performance. The 320mm size makes it a practical choice for batch cooking, braising, and slow-cooked dishes that move from the hob or oven directly to the pass or table.

In a busy kitchen environment, this casserole handles the demands of daily service well. The stainless steel construction is durable under regular use, and the induction-ready sandwich base ensures even heat distribution across the base, which matters when managing slow braises or sauces that can scorch with uneven heat. It performs reliably across induction, gas, vitroceramic, and electric cooking surfaces, giving operators flexibility if their hob setup changes.

Where this piece stands out operationally is in front-of-house service. The coloured exterior makes it suited to informal table presentation — tapas menus, sharing dishes, and casual dining concepts where rustic or colourful cookware reinforces the offer. The ergonomic handles are designed for safe handling when moving between kitchen and table.

• Performs across induction, gas, vitroceramic and electric cooking surfaces
• Even heat base reduces risk of scorching during slow cooking
• Coloured exterior supports front-of-house and table service presentation
• Lid included, suitable for retaining heat during service or transport to the table
• Stainless steel construction stands up to commercial kitchen use

It is worth considering whether the 320mm size fits your typical portion volumes and service style before ordering. For operations requiring larger batch quantities, wider or deeper alternatives in the same range are worth exploring.
