Pujadas Century Aluminium Cookware

The Pujadas Ø400mm aluminium paella pan is a traditional wide, shallow pan designed for cooking paella and similar dishes in professional kitchen environments. Made from pure aluminium sheet, it is built to conduct heat quickly and evenly across the base — a practical requirement when cooking rice dishes where consistent temperature distribution directly affects the quality of the finished dish.

In a busy service environment, aluminium's thermal conductivity means the pan responds quickly to heat adjustments, which is useful when managing multiple portions at different stages. The extra-thick base resists warping under repeated high-heat use, keeping the pan in full contact with the heat source throughout service. Handles are tubular stainless steel, riveted at four points per side, which provides a secure and stable grip when moving a loaded pan — a consideration that matters when working at pace during service.

From an operational standpoint, this pan offers a number of practical advantages:

• Rapid, even heat distribution across the wide cooking surface
• Thick base maintains contact with heat source, reducing hot spots
• Four-rivet handle attachment for secure handling under load
• Tubular stainless steel handles reduce heat transfer to the grip
• Pure aluminium construction is lightweight relative to pan size

Being aluminium, this pan is not suitable for induction hobs without an appropriate induction disc. It is well suited to gas ranges and solid-top ranges, which are the most common heat sources for paella cooking in commercial settings. As with all aluminium cookware, avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic ingredients and alkaline cleaning agents, which can affect the surface over time.

This 400mm pan is suited to individual or small-batch portions and works well in restaurants, tapas bars, event catering, and any operation producing paella as a regular menu item. For higher-volume service where larger batch cooking is required, a bigger diameter pan from the same range may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service volumes or heat sources, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This Pujadas stock pot is a straightforward, workhorse piece of batch cookware built for professional kitchen use. Constructed from pure aluminium, it is designed for producing large volumes of stocks, soups, sauces, and other liquid-based preparations where consistent, even heat distribution across the base and sides is important to the end result.

Aluminium is a practical choice for stock pot construction in busy kitchens. It conducts heat efficiently and responds well to temperature changes, which helps maintain steady cooking conditions across a long service or extended batch. The extra-thick base resists deformation over time, which matters in a commercial environment where pots are in daily contact with high-output burners and induction or gas ranges. A base that retains its flat profile stays in full contact with the heat source, which both protects the pot and keeps energy use consistent.

From an operational standpoint, the design addresses a few common pain points:

• Thick-gauge aluminium walls distribute heat evenly, reducing hotspots during batch cooking
• Reinforced base resists warping under repeated high-temperature use
• Tubular stainless steel handles are insulated to reduce burn risk when moving a full pot
• Four rivets per handle provide a secure, long-term fixing under heavy daily use
• Pure aluminium construction is fully recyclable, supporting waste reduction objectives

This pot is sold without a lid, which suits kitchens where lids are managed separately across a shared set of cookware. If a lid is required, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering.

It is well suited to mid-to-large professional kitchens — hotel operations, contract catering, pub kitchens, and restaurant prep sections where batch production is a regular part of service. For very high-volume sites running continuous production, a heavier-duty pot in a larger capacity may be a better fit.

If you are unsure which capacity suits your typical batch size or want to check compatibility with your existing cookware, the team is happy to help you work through it before you order.

This is a 500mm diameter aluminium lid from Pujadas, designed to fit the corresponding pots within their Century aluminium cookware range. It functions as a straightforward heat-retention lid for large-capacity stockpots and similar vessels used in professional kitchen environments.

In a busy kitchen, keeping lids matched to their pans matters more than it might seem. A well-fitting lid holds heat in during long simmers, reduces moisture loss, and helps bring large volumes back to temperature more quickly after adding ingredients. For high-volume soup, stock, or sauce production, that consistency across service makes a practical difference to both energy use and output quality.

• Aluminium construction conducts heat evenly and keeps overall weight manageable
• Tubular stainless steel handles are designed to stay cooler during use, reducing the risk of burns
• Handles are secured with four rivets each, providing a stable and durable attachment under regular commercial use
• Suitable for use across gas, electric, and induction-compatible ranges when paired with appropriate cookware

Being aluminium, the lid is lighter than cast iron or stainless steel equivalents, which matters when kitchen staff are lifting covers repeatedly across a shift. It is worth noting that aluminium requires some care in cleaning — avoid abrasive scourers that can mark the surface, and check compatibility with any commercial dishwasher chemicals in use.

This lid is well suited to catering operations running large-batch cooking: contract caterers, central production kitchens, hotel banqueting operations, and similar high-volume sites. It is sized for substantial stockpots and is not intended for smaller saucepans or general-purpose use.

If you are building out a set or are unsure which lid size corresponds to a pot you already have, our team is happy to help you confirm the right match before you order.

This is a 240mm diameter aluminium lid from Pujadas, designed to sit within the Century aluminium cookware range. It functions as a straightforward heat-retention lid, keeping temperature stable during cooking and reducing moisture loss from pans and pots in active use.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistent heat retention matters — not just for food quality, but for fuel efficiency and service timing. A well-fitting lid reduces the energy needed to maintain temperature and helps kitchens keep pace during service without constant adjustment. Aluminium conducts heat evenly and responds quickly to temperature changes, which suits the pace of professional cooking well.

• Aluminium construction offers good thermal conductivity and even heat distribution
• Tubular stainless steel handles are designed to stay cooler during use, reducing burn risk
• Handles are secured with four rivets each, providing reliable attachment under daily commercial use
• Designed to complement the Pujadas Century aluminium cookware range

There are no electrical, gas, or water connections to consider. The lid is a passive piece of cookware, so suitability comes down to matching the diameter correctly to your existing pans and confirming compatibility with the Pujadas Century range if that is your current cookware. For kitchens running heavier stock pots or larger batch-cooking vessels, larger diameter lids are available within the same range.

This lid suits professional kitchens of most sizes — from small independent operations through to larger production environments — where the Pujadas Century aluminium range is already in use or being considered. It is a practical, everyday piece of kit rather than a specialist item.

If you are fitting out a new kitchen or standardising your cookware across a site, it is worth having a conversation with us to make sure you have the right sizes and quantities before ordering.

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 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.

The Pujadas Century aluminium sauté pan is a straightforward, well-made piece of professional cookware designed for the daily demands of a working commercial kitchen. Formed from pure aluminium sheet, it is intended for sautéing, shallow frying, and fast reduction work at the hob — tasks that require a pan that heats quickly, responds to adjustments, and holds up to repeated use across service.

Aluminium conducts heat rapidly and evenly, which suits the pace of prep and à la carte service alike. The extra-thick base is a practical detail rather than a marketing one: it resists warping over time, keeps the pan sitting flat on the heat source, and helps maintain consistent contact whether you are working on gas burners or solid tops. A pan that rocks or distorts wastes energy and makes temperature control harder — this construction avoids that.

The handles are tubular stainless steel, designed to stay cooler than the pan body during use, and each is secured with four rivets rather than two. That level of attachment matters when pans are handled quickly, loaded with food, or moved between stations by multiple chefs across a shift.

• Thick aluminium body resists deformation under sustained daily use
• Flat, stable base maintains full contact with the heat source
• Four-rivet handle attachment for secure, confident handling under load
• Tubular stainless steel handles reduce heat transfer to the grip
• Pure aluminium construction — hygienic and straightforward to clean down

This pan is well suited to smaller brigades and single-hob stations where a reliable, mid-sized sauté pan sees regular rotation. For high-volume sections turning over large batch quantities, a heavier-duty or larger-diameter pan may be worth considering. If you are equipping multiple stations or want guidance on matching pan sizes to your menu and volume, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Pujadas Ø280 aluminium sauce pot is a straightforward, well-made piece of cookware from the Century Aluminium range. Built from pure aluminium sheet, it is designed to handle the demands of regular brigade use — heating quickly, distributing heat evenly across the base and sides, and standing up to the kind of daily repetition that wears through lesser pans over time.

In a working kitchen, even heat distribution matters more than it might seem. Uneven bases create hot spots that scorch sauces, affect reduction consistency, and slow down service. The extra-thick base on this pot maintains full contact with the heat source — useful on both gas and solid-top ranges — and helps keep cooking predictable during busy service periods. Recovery after adding cold stock or liquid is reasonably quick, which supports steady throughput on the stove.

A few practical points worth noting for kitchen operators:

• Pure aluminium construction provides responsive heat transfer with good energy efficiency
• Reinforced extra-thick base resists warping under repeated thermal cycling
• Tubular stainless steel handles are heat-insulating, reducing burn risk during service
• Four rivets per handle provide a secure, stable attachment over long-term use
• Supplied without lid — pairs with compatible lids available separately if required

This is a mid-to-large sauce pot suited to kitchens preparing soups, stocks, sauces, or braised dishes in reasonable volume. It is a practical everyday workhorse rather than a specialised piece. For very high-volume operations running multiple pots simultaneously over long shifts, it is worth considering whether heavier-gauge or larger-capacity options in the range better match the workload.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing existing cookware across a brigade, we are happy to talk through what makes sense for your service style and volume.

The Pujadas Ø200 sauce pan is a straight-gauge aluminium saucepan from the Pujadas Century range, designed for everyday use in professional kitchens. It is built from pure aluminium sheet, which conducts heat quickly and responds well to changes in temperature — useful when sauces and liquids need to be brought to heat and held at a steady simmer during service.

Aluminium's thermal conductivity means it heats efficiently and evenly across the base, reducing the risk of hotspots that can scorch delicate sauces or stocks. The extra-thick base is particularly relevant on ranges where heat distribution can be uneven, keeping the pan stable and in consistent contact with the heat source. The handles are tubular stainless steel, insulated to reduce the risk of burns during handling, and each is secured with four rivets — a detail that matters in a busy kitchen where handles take considerable mechanical stress over time.

• Fast, even heat distribution across the base
• Extra-thick base resists deformation under sustained high heat
• Insulated tubular stainless steel handles reduce burn risk
• Four-rivet handle attachment for long-term structural reliability
• Pure aluminium construction supports energy-efficient cooking

This size suits most sauce, stock, and reduction work across a professional range. It sits comfortably in a smaller brigade kitchen or as part of a set of pans covering different volumes on a larger line. For sites with very high throughput or where larger batch volumes are routine, heavier-gauge or larger-capacity options within the range may be worth considering.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing worn cookware across a section, it is worth having a conversation about the right sizes and quantities before ordering — we are happy to help you work through what the kitchen actually needs.

This stock pot from Pujadas is part of their Century Aluminium cookware range, manufactured from pure aluminium sheet to a gauge suited to the demands of daily commercial kitchen use. It is sold without a lid, making it practical for active stovetop work where frequent stirring or skimming is part of the process — stocks, consommés, blanching liquids, large-batch soups, and pasta water are all common applications.

Aluminium conducts heat quickly and evenly across the base and sides, which matters when you are bringing large volumes of liquid up to temperature under service pressure. The extra-thick base resists warping over time, helping the pot maintain full, consistent contact with the heat source — important both for even cooking and for keeping energy use in check. In a busy kitchen, a pot that sits flat on the burner simply performs more predictably than one that has distorted through repeated heating cycles.

From a practical standpoint, this pot offers a few features worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Tubular stainless steel handles designed to stay cooler during cooking, reducing burn risk when moving the pot
• Handles fixed with four rivets each, providing a secure and stable grip under load
• Pure aluminium construction keeps weight manageable relative to comparable stainless alternatives
• Straightforward construction with no non-stick coatings to damage or replace

This pot is well suited to catering kitchens, pub and restaurant operations, and contract catering environments where stock and soup production is a regular part of the daily routine. It is best used on gas or solid-top ranges; compatibility with induction hobs should be confirmed before purchase, as standard aluminium is not induction-suitable. For very high-volume operations running multiple large-batch preparations simultaneously, it is worth reviewing whether a larger capacity within the range would better match your throughput.

If you are unsure which size or material best fits your kitchen's workload, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

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.
