The Pujadas Ø400 aluminium sauce pot is a large-format, lidless cooking vessel from Pujadas's Century Aluminium range, designed for professional kitchens that handle significant volumes of stocks, sauces, soups, and braised preparations. At this diameter, it sits firmly in the category of batch-cooking cookware rather than à la carte pans, and is sized accordingly for stockpot ranges, high-output burners, and central production kitchens.

Aluminium's thermal conductivity is one of its principal strengths in a professional kitchen context. Heat travels quickly and relatively evenly across the base and up the walls, which supports consistent results when reducing large volumes of liquid or holding sauces at working temperature during service. The heavier gauge construction used in this range helps resist the warping and deformation that thinner aluminium cookware can suffer under prolonged high-heat use — a common failure point in busy kitchens.

From a practical standpoint, this pot offers several day-to-day advantages:

  • Rapid, even heat distribution reduces hot spots and the risk of scorching
  • Reinforced tubular stainless steel handles stay cooler than the pot body during use
  • Four-rivet handle attachment per side provides a more secure fixing under heavy loads
  • Aluminium's relatively light weight makes large volumes more manageable to lift and transfer
  • Pure aluminium construction is fully recyclable and supports kitchen sustainability commitments

Being without a lid, this pot is well suited to reduction work, open stock production, and applications where evaporation is intentional. Operators who regularly need to cover during cooking or transport should consider whether a matching lid is required alongside. At Ø400, this is a genuinely large vessel — it suits central production kitchens, large catering operations, and event catering rather than smaller kitchens with limited range or storage space. For lower-volume operations, smaller diameters within the same range may be more practical.

If you're unsure whether this size is right for your service volumes or burner output, we're happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

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

Aluminium performs well on gas and solid-top ranges, which are common in commercial kitchens. It is not suitable for induction hobs unless used with an induction diffuser plate. If your kitchen runs predominantly on induction, it is worth checking compatibility before ordering.

How do I know if the Ø400 size is right for my kitchen's output?

At this diameter, the pot is designed for serious batch production — large volumes of stock, soup, or sauce prepared ahead of service. It suits central production kitchens, large catering operations, and high-cover restaurants. For smaller prep volumes or kitchens with limited burner space, a smaller diameter within the same range is likely to be more practical.

Does this pot need any special care to maintain it in a professional kitchen?

Aluminium cookware is straightforward to maintain but benefits from avoiding prolonged contact with highly acidic ingredients, which can cause discolouration over time. Hand washing is generally preferable to repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, which can dull and oxidise the surface. With reasonable care, heavy-gauge aluminium cookware of this type is built to last in daily professional use.
