Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-Ply Casserole Pan 260mm

The Samuel Groves Copper Core Casserole Pan is a five-layer construction pan built for professional kitchen use. The layered build consists of copper sandwiched between two aluminium layers, all bonded within an outer stainless steel shell. This combination gives the pan its principal advantage: the copper and aluminium core distributes heat rapidly and evenly across the base and up into the walls, while the stainless steel exterior keeps it compatible with both gas and induction hobs and resistant to the knocks and corrosion of daily kitchen use.

In a busy service environment, even heat distribution matters. Casseroles, braises, and stews that sit unevenly heated will scorch on the base or cook inconsistently, which causes quality problems and waste. The copper core addresses this directly, helping operators maintain a steady, controlled cook across the full 6-litre capacity without the need for constant adjustment.

Practically, this pan suits the demands of professional service well:

• Dual side handles for safe movement between hob, oven, and service counter
• Deep construction supports large-batch cooking with reduced spillage risk
• Stainless steel exterior resists impact and corrosion under regular use
• Compatible with gas, electric, and induction hobs without adaptation
• Easy to clean interior surface reduces turnaround time between service periods

At 2kg unloaded, it is a manageable weight for most kitchen staff, though operators should be mindful that a full 6-litre load of a dense casserole will add considerable weight — the dual handles are well placed for two-person carries where needed. No lid is included with the pan; lids are available separately.

This pan is well suited to restaurants, pub kitchens, hotels, and catering operations producing casseroles, stocks, sauces, or braised dishes regularly. For high-volume production kitchens needing to run multiple large batches simultaneously, a larger-capacity pan or a heavier-duty range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this pan fits your current hob setup or production volumes, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.
