Delivery Information

This is a large-format aluminium casserole pan from Pujadas, part of their Century Aluminium cookware range. It is supplied without a lid, making it well suited to preparations where open cooking, reduction, or easy access during service is the priority. At 500mm in diameter, this is a substantial vessel designed for bulk cooking — braised dishes, stocks, sauces, and similar preparations that need to be held or cooked in volume.

Aluminium is a practical choice for this type of cookware in a professional setting. It heats quickly and distributes heat evenly across the base and sides, which helps reduce the time and energy needed to bring large quantities up to temperature. The extra-thick base on this pan is constructed to resist warping under repeated high-heat use, which is a common failure point on lighter pans and something that matters when a pan needs to sit flat and in full contact with a burner throughout a busy service.

A few practical points worth noting for day-to-day kitchen use:

  • Tubular stainless steel handles are heat-insulating, reducing burn risk during handling
  • Handles are fixed with four rivets each, providing a secure and stable grip under load
  • The aluminium construction keeps overall weight manageable given the pan's size
  • Pure aluminium is straightforward to clean and maintains performance well over time

A pan of this diameter is most appropriate for kitchens cooking in bulk — central production kitchens, large-scale catering operations, or banqueting environments. For smaller operations, a reduced-diameter pan from the same range is likely to be more practical. This pan does not include a lid, so if covered cooking is required, compatibility with a suitable lid should be confirmed before ordering.

If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your setup, the team are happy to talk through what you need before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is this pan suitable for use on all types of commercial hob?

Aluminium is compatible with gas and solid-top electric hobs commonly found in commercial kitchens. It is not suitable for induction hobs, as aluminium is not a magnetic material. If your kitchen runs induction burners, you would need to look at a pan with a compatible base.

What type of kitchen operation is a 500mm casserole pan best suited to?

A pan at this diameter is most practical in high-volume environments — central production kitchens, large catering operations, or banqueting facilities where cooking in bulk is routine. For à la carte or smaller-volume service, a smaller diameter is likely to be more appropriate and easier to manage during service.

Does the pan require a lid, and can one be sourced separately?

This pan is sold without a lid, which suits open cooking methods such as reductions and braising where regular access is needed. If covered cooking is part of your workflow, you should confirm lid compatibility for this diameter before ordering — the team can advise on suitable options.
