The Pujadas Ø400 aluminium casserole is a large-format cooking vessel from the Century Aluminium range, designed for professional kitchen use. Made from pure aluminium, it is intended for volume cooking tasks — stocks, sauces, braised dishes, and similar preparations — where consistent heat transfer and straightforward handling matter more than anything else.

Aluminium conducts heat rapidly and distributes it evenly, which is useful in a busy service kitchen where bringing large quantities of liquid up to temperature quickly reduces waiting time. The extra-thick base helps maintain contact with the heat source and resists the warping that can occur with lighter-gauge cookware over time. In practical terms, that means less uneven cooking and a longer working life before the pan needs replacing.

A few points that make this casserole well suited to professional use:

  • Thick gauge construction resists deformation under repeated heavy use
  • Even base contact with heat source improves cooking consistency
  • Tubular stainless steel handles stay cooler during service, reducing burn risk
  • Four-rivet handle attachment provides secure, stable handling when the pan is full
  • Pure aluminium construction is fully recyclable at end of life

At 400mm in diameter, this is a large vessel. It is most practical on a range with sufficient burner output or on a commercial induction or solid-top hob that can accommodate the base size. It is supplied without a lid, so a suitable cover will need to be sourced separately if required for your cooking method.

This size is well suited to high-volume operations — large restaurant kitchens, contract catering, and institutional catering where batch cooking is routine. Smaller operations or those with limited hob space may find a smaller diameter from the same range more practical. For sites cooking at exceptional scale, heavier-duty stock pot options may be worth considering.

If you are unsure which size or specification best fits your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is this casserole suitable for use on induction hobs?

Pure aluminium is not magnetic and will not work directly on an induction hob. If your kitchen runs induction cooking, you would need an induction-compatible disc-bottom or clad alternative. It performs well on gas ranges and solid-top or ceramic commercial hobs.

Does the 400mm size suit all commercial kitchen setups?

At 400mm diameter, this is a large vessel and is best suited to kitchens with appropriately sized burners or hob zones to match the base. Smaller prep kitchens or those with compact ranges may find a smaller diameter from the Century range more practical for daily use.

Is a lid available separately for this casserole?

This model is supplied without a lid. Compatible lids are available separately within the Pujadas range — it is worth confirming the correct lid size when ordering if a cover is required for your cooking method.
