Sauce & Sauté Pans

The Pujadas Black Series saucepot is a cast aluminium pan from Pujadas' professional cookware range, designed to work across induction hobs as well as conventional heat sources. It is supplied without a lid, making it straightforward to specify as a standalone piece or alongside other Black Series items already in service. The 400mm diameter gives a generous cooking surface suited to batch cooking, sauce production, and volume prep tasks common in busy professional kitchens.

Cast aluminium construction provides good, even heat distribution across the base and sides, which helps reduce hot spots that can catch sauces or delicate reductions. The non-stick interior supports faster cleaning between service periods and reduces the need for excess cooking fats — a practical consideration for kitchens managing both food costs and throughput.

• Even heat distribution across the base reduces risk of scorching
• Non-stick interior speeds up cleaning between covers
• Induction-compatible base suits modern kitchen configurations
• 400mm diameter accommodates volume sauce and stock work
• Part of a coordinated range for consistent kitchen kit

Being supplied without a lid, operators should confirm whether a lid is needed for their use case — a compatible lid may be available separately from the Black Series range. The cast aluminium body is lighter than stainless steel equivalents of similar size, which is worth considering for kitchens where pan weight affects handling comfort during long service periods.

This saucepot is well suited to restaurants, bistros, hotels, and contract catering operations running regular sauce or stock preparation. It is a solid day-to-day workhorse at this size, though for very high-volume central production kitchens requiring heavier-duty construction or larger capacity, it is worth exploring alternative options.

If you are unsure whether this fits your hob setup or service volume, our team is happy to help you work through the right choice before you order.

This is a miniature sauté pan from Vogue's copper-finish tri-wall range. At 80mm in diameter, it is one of the smaller pieces in the line and is built around a layered construction: an aluminium thermocore sits between an inner stainless steel layer and an outer copper coating. The result is a pan that conducts heat relatively evenly while offering the visual appeal of a copper finish.

In a practical kitchen context, pans of this size are most commonly used for individual portion presentation rather than volume cooking — serving a single sauce, warm garnish, or small side dish directly at the pass or table. The copper outer layer gives a professional, polished appearance that works well in open-kitchen or table-service environments. The stainless steel interior keeps cleaning straightforward and avoids any reactivity concerns with acidic ingredients.

• Tri-wall construction distributes heat more evenly than single-layer pans
• Copper outer finish suits front-of-house or pass presentation
• Stainless steel interior is non-reactive and easy to maintain
• Compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic hob surfaces
• Compact size well suited to individual portion service

It is worth noting that this pan is not compatible with induction hobs, so if your kitchen runs an induction-only setup it would not be a suitable choice. At this size, it is also not intended for batch cooking or high-volume preparation — it is a finishing and presentation tool. For operators who need larger capacities within the same range, broader options are available.

This pan is best suited to restaurants, bistros, or hotel kitchens where individual plating and front-of-house presentation are part of the service style. It is less relevant to high-throughput canteen or production kitchen environments.

If you are putting together a set or want to confirm the right sizes for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Vogue 1.5 litre stainless steel saucepan is a compact, general-purpose saucepan built for professional kitchen use. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a welded stay-cool handle, it is designed to withstand the demands of daily commercial service. The lid is sold separately.

At this capacity, the pan is best suited to sauces, reductions, small batch heating, and accompaniments rather than high-volume production. It performs reliably on both conventional and induction hobs, making it straightforward to integrate into most commercial kitchen setups. The 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up well under repeated use and commercial dishwasher cycles.

• Consistent heat distribution across the base for controlled sauce work
• Welded handle reduces the risk of loosening over time
• Induction compatible — suitable for most hob types
• Dishwasher safe and straightforward to clean
• Robust enough for daily use in professional kitchens

Being a compact pan, it is not intended for high-volume or bulk production tasks. Operations that regularly cook larger quantities will find a bigger capacity more practical. It is well suited as part of a set covering a range of sizes, giving a kitchen flexibility across different service needs.

This pan is a practical choice for smaller kitchens, cafés, hotel room service, or as a supplementary pan in larger brigades. It works equally well in staff canteens and smaller hospitality operations where a reliable, everyday saucepan is needed without excess capacity.

If you are building out a pan set or are unsure which sizes suit your menu and service volume, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Vogue tri-wall saucepan is a mid-sized, heavy-duty cooking pan constructed from stainless steel with an aluminium thermocore bonded between the inner and outer walls. This layered construction is designed to spread heat evenly across the base and lower sides, reducing the hot spots that cause scorching in thinner, single-wall pans.

In a working kitchen environment, the difference this makes is most noticeable when cooking sauces, custards, béchamels, or any preparation that is sensitive to uneven heat. The aluminium core conducts heat efficiently, meaning the pan responds well to temperature adjustments — useful when moving between rapid reduction and a gentle simmer during service.

At this capacity, it is a practical size for small-batch sauce work, side preparations, or as a supporting pan on a busy stove. It handles daily use well and the stainless steel construction cleans reliably.

• Even heat distribution reduces risk of scorching heat-sensitive preparations
• Responsive to temperature changes, supporting precise sauce work
• Durable stainless steel construction suited to regular commercial use
• Practical size for small-batch and à la carte service tasks
• Compatible with most commercial hob types

It is worth noting that this pan is suited to smaller-volume tasks. For continuous high-volume sauce production or large-batch cooking, a larger capacity pan in the same range would be more appropriate. The lid is sold separately, so factor that in when ordering if you need one.

This pan suits smaller operations, grab-and-go cafés, finishing kitchens, or any section where precision sauce work is required alongside main service. If you are equipping a section from scratch or need guidance on pan sizes across a brigade, the team is happy to talk through what works best for your setup.

The Vogue Tri Wall Sauté Pan is a stainless steel pan built around an aluminium thermocore — a layer of aluminium sandwiched between the inner and outer stainless steel walls. This construction is designed to address one of the more common problems with standard stainless steel cookware: uneven heat distribution. The aluminium core conducts heat more efficiently than steel alone, spreading it across the base and lower walls to reduce the hotspots that can scorch sauces or cause uneven cooking results.

In a busy kitchen environment, that consistency matters. Whether you are reducing a sauce during service or sweating aromatics as part of a larger prep workflow, the pan responds reasonably quickly to heat changes and holds an even temperature across the cooking surface. The mirror-polished exterior is hardwearing and easy to wipe down, while the brushed interior finish is practical for day-to-day cleaning without showing every scuff mark from a whisk or spatula.

A few practical points worth noting for operators considering this pan:

• Compatible with induction hobs as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges
• Stainless steel and aluminium construction — not suitable for direct oven use at very high temperatures without checking manufacturer guidance
• The 240mm diameter suits single-portion to small-batch cooking rather than large-volume production
• Mirror-polished exterior requires routine care to maintain appearance under heavy use

This pan is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants — where versatility across hob types is useful and consistent sauce work is a daily requirement. For kitchens running high-volume production or needing larger batch capacities, it is worth considering whether a larger diameter or a heavier-gauge pan would serve the operation better.

If you are unsure whether this pan fits your hob setup or volume requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Vogue 320mm stainless steel saucepan is a straightforward, dependable piece of cookware built to handle the routine demands of a commercial kitchen. At 320mm in diameter and with a deep bowl profile, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for sauce, soup and gravy work — large enough to hold a useful quantity through service, without being unwieldy on a busy range.

Stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for professional use. It withstands the daily cycle of high heat, rapid washing and rough handling that would shorten the life of lighter domestic cookware. The material is non-reactive, which matters when working with acidic ingredients such as tomato-based sauces or wine reductions, and it cleans down quickly between uses.

• Deep bowl reduces spillage risk during cooking and portioning
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and daily wear
• Suited to soups, stocks, sauces, gravies and reductions
• Compatible with most commercial hob types
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

It is worth noting that stainless steel alone is not the most efficient conductor of heat, so operators should expect to manage temperatures actively rather than rely on the pan to distribute heat perfectly evenly at low settings. For high-volume sauce work or extended batch cooking, a heavier-gauge option may offer better performance.

This pan is well suited to small to mid-sized operations — cafés, pub kitchens, hotel breakfast services and similar environments where a reliable, general-purpose saucepan is needed without overcomplicating the equipment list.

If you are building out a cookware range and want to talk through the right sizes and quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help.

The Vogue 5 litre stainless steel saucepan is a straightforward, dependable piece of cookware built for everyday use in commercial kitchens. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, it offers the corrosion resistance and durability that professional environments require, and the induction-compatible base means it works across gas, electric, and induction hob installations without any adaptation.

In service, a pan this size earns its place on the stove for sauces, soups, stocks, and small batch cooking. It is a sensible middle-ground capacity — large enough to hold a working quantity for a busy section, but manageable enough to handle quickly during service without being unwieldy. The welded stay-cool handles improve safety and help the pan hold up to repeated daily use without the failure points that riveted or bolted handles can introduce over time.

• 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and discolouration under heavy use
• Induction-compatible base suits mixed or flexible hob installations
• Welded handles reduce failure risk and improve hygiene around joints
• Compatible with a separately available lid to suit holding and simmering tasks
• Straightforward to clean and suitable for dishwasher use

It is worth noting that the lid is sold separately, so factor that into your order if covered simmering or holding is part of how you plan to use the pan. For kitchens running high volumes or needing a larger working capacity, it is worth considering a bigger size from the same range.

This pan suits most professional kitchen environments — from small independent restaurants to contract catering operations needing reliable, replaceable cookware at a practical price point. If you are kitting out a section from scratch or replacing worn stock and want to make sure you are ordering the right sizes and quantities for your volume, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Vogue 240mm stainless steel sauté pan is a workhorse piece of cookware built for everyday commercial kitchen use. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a welded stay-cool handle, it is designed to withstand the repeated thermal cycling and rough handling that comes with busy service periods. The 240mm diameter makes it a practical mid-size option, suitable for sautéing portions, reducing sauces, and finishing dishes across a range of kitchen types.

In practice, this pan performs reliably across gas, electric, and induction hobs, which makes it a versatile addition to a standard batterie de cuisine. The welded handle construction avoids the loosening that can occur with riveted alternatives over time, and the 18/10 grade stainless resists staining and holds up well through repeated dishwasher cycles without degrading the finish.

• Suitable for gas, electric, and induction hobs
• Welded handle reduces long-term maintenance issues
• 18/10 stainless construction supports regular dishwasher use
• Mid-size diameter suits single-portion and small-batch cooking

It is worth considering that this pan is sized for individual portion work or small batches rather than high-volume production. Kitchens running large covers or needing to cook multiple portions simultaneously would benefit from a larger diameter or a heavier-gauge option from the same range. For lighter-use sections or as part of a broader pan set, the 240mm sits at a practical size.

This pan is well suited to small restaurants, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and contract catering operations looking for reliable everyday cookware at a sensible price point. If you are equipping a full section or need guidance on sizing across a range of pan diameters, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

The Pujadas Ø450 aluminium sauce pot is a large-format cooking vessel from the Century Aluminium range, designed for bulk preparation of stocks, sauces, soups, and similar liquids in professional kitchen environments. It is supplied without a lid, making it straightforward to specify alongside a compatible cover if required.

Aluminium is a well-established material for this class of cookware precisely because of its thermal conductivity. It heats through quickly and distributes heat evenly across the base and sides, which helps maintain consistent temperatures during extended cooking and reduces the risk of localised scorching. The extra-thick base construction resists deformation over time, keeping the pot sitting flat on the heat source and maintaining efficient contact throughout its working life.

In practical terms, the design suits kitchens where large batches are prepared in advance and held or reduced over time. Key operational characteristics include:

• Even heat distribution supports consistent reduction and sauce work
• Thick base maintains contact with heat source, preserving energy efficiency
• Tubular stainless steel handles resist heat transfer, reducing burn risk during handling
• Four rivets per handle provide a secure, long-term attachment under daily commercial use
• Pure aluminium construction keeps the pot relatively lightweight at this size

At this diameter, the pot is best suited to central production kitchens, hotel kitchens, or any operation running high-volume batch cooking. It is a practical choice where a large cooking vessel is needed regularly. Kitchens with more modest output may find a smaller size in the range more appropriate, while very high-throughput sites may want to consider heavier-gauge alternatives.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your workflow, or you would like guidance on compatible lids or other pieces within the Century Aluminium range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence saucepan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan from one of France's most established cookware manufacturers. At one litre capacity, this is a smaller pan intended for sauces, reductions, and small-batch preparation rather than high-volume production work. It is induction compatible, making it a practical choice for kitchens running induction hobs alongside conventional gas or electric ranges.

Matfer Bourgeat's Excellence range is positioned as their everyday professional line — robust enough for commercial kitchen use and designed to perform consistently across a busy service without the premium price of their top-tier ranges. The stainless steel construction handles the rigours of daily kitchen use well, resisting warping and standing up to repeated high-heat cycles. At this size, the pan is most commonly used for finishing sauces, warming small quantities, or holding prepared liquids during service.

• Induction compatible for use across multiple hob types
• Stainless steel construction suited to heavy daily use
• Practical size for sauces, reductions, and small-batch work
• Backed by Matfer Bourgeat's ten-year warranty

There are no complex installation requirements — this pan goes straight into service. It is worth noting that at one litre, it is not intended for batch cooking or high-volume production; kitchens needing larger capacity should consider the wider Excellence range in larger sizes. The pan is also relatively lightweight at under 600g, which suits quick-service environments but may not suit operators who prefer a heavier-gauge pan for sustained low-heat work.

This pan suits smaller professional kitchens, private dining operations, or as a supplementary piece in larger brigades where a compact, reliable sauce pan earns its place on the stove. If you are building out a full batterie or are unsure which sizes best fit your operation, we are happy to talk it through.

The De Buyer Inocuivre is a traditional copper saucepan updated for practical professional use. The body is copper throughout, giving it the exceptional heat conductivity the material is known for, while the interior is lined with stainless steel rather than the tin lining found on older copper cookware. This makes it more durable in daily service and suitable for use with acidic ingredients that would react with an unlined copper surface. The cast stainless steel handle is fixed and substantial, designed to be held securely during service without flex or movement.

In practice, copper's primary advantage is its responsiveness. Heat travels through the pan rapidly and distributes evenly across the base and sides, which matters most during sauce work and reductions where a few degrees of difference affects the result. Adjustments to the flame translate almost immediately to the pan, giving the cook genuine control rather than waiting for the material to catch up. This is where copper earns its place in a professional kitchen over standard stainless steel alternatives.

• Rapid, even heat distribution suited to precise sauce and reduction work
• Stainless steel lining is non-reactive and easy to clean between services
• Fixed cast handle provides a secure, stable grip during busy service
• Copper exterior responds quickly to heat adjustments on gas hobs
• Traditional construction that performs reliably under daily professional use

A few practical points worth knowing: the copper exterior will develop a patina with regular use, which is normal and does not affect performance. Cleaning the exterior requires a little more care than standard stainless steel. This pan is not induction-compatible without a separate interface disc, so confirming your hob type before ordering is worthwhile. At 2.5 litres, it is sized for à la carte preparation — smaller batch sauces, jus, and accompaniments made to order rather than high-volume production work. For sites producing larger quantities, heavier-gauge or larger-capacity copper pans may be more appropriate.

If you would like to talk through whether this size suits your range setup or cooking style, our team is glad to help.

The Pujadas 280mm aluminium sauté pan is a professional-grade cookware piece designed for daily use across commercial kitchen environments. It combines a multi-layer PFOA-free non-stick coating with a 4mm thick aluminium body, providing even heat distribution and a durable cooking surface suited to the demands of a working kitchen.

In practice, the 280mm diameter makes this a versatile size for single portions or small-batch cooking — well suited to sautéing proteins, reducing sauces, or finishing dishes at the pass. The aluminium construction heats quickly and responds well to temperature adjustments, which is useful during a busy service when timing matters. The non-stick coating is applied specifically for professional use, offering good resistance to the abrasion that comes with daily washing and regular utensil contact.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Compatible with gas, electric, and vitroceramic hobs — not suitable for induction without a separate diffuser plate
• The flat iron handle features an epoxy heat-resistant coating, reducing the need for a cloth during short lifts
• PFOA-free coating aligns with current food safety expectations in professional kitchens
• The 4mm body helps prevent hotspots on less consistent hob surfaces

This pan is a sensible choice for à la carte kitchens, café operations, and hospitality settings where a reliable, mid-sized sauté pan sees regular rotation. It is not intended as a high-volume production pan — for operations that need larger batch capacity or induction compatibility, other options in the range would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your hob setup or service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Vogue 900ml stainless steel saucepan is a compact, general-purpose pan built for everyday professional kitchen use. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, it is compatible with induction hobs as well as gas and conventional electric ranges, making it a practical addition to most commercial kitchen setups.

At 900ml capacity, this pan is best suited to small-batch work: reducing sauces, warming individual portions, melting butter, or holding small quantities during service. It is not intended for large-batch production, but for the kinds of tasks that come up repeatedly throughout a busy shift where a full-size pan would be wasteful or impractical.

The welded stay-cool handle adds day-to-day reliability — welded construction avoids the loosening that can occur with riveted handles over time, and reduces the trap points where food residue can collect. The 18/10 grade stainless steel resists corrosion and cleans readily, whether by hand or through a commercial dishwasher.

• Induction compatible, suitable for gas and electric ranges
• Welded handle construction for hygiene and longevity
• 18/10 stainless steel resists staining and corrosion
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

This pan is well suited to smaller operations such as cafés, bistros, and pub kitchens, as well as larger kitchens that need reliable smallwares for day-to-day sauce and garnish work. If your operation requires larger batch capacity, there are bigger pans in the same range that may be a better fit.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing cookware across a brigade, it is worth talking through your full requirements — the right mix of pan sizes can make a genuine difference to workflow during service.

The Vogue 200mm non-stick saute pan is a flared, shallow-sided aluminium pan designed for everyday sautéing, pan saucing, and finishing work across a range of hob types, including induction. The non-stick coating reduces the need for excess fat and makes cleaning straightforward at the end of service.

In a working kitchen, a pan this size sits comfortably within the medium-portion bracket — well suited to single or double covers, sauce reductions, vegetable work, or finishing proteins quickly to order. The flared sides give good access for tossing and turning without deep-sided obstruction, which suits the pace of à la carte service.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Non-stick surface reduces sticking and simplifies between-service cleaning
• Induction-compatible base broadens hob compatibility across kitchen setups
• Flared profile aids tossing and precise plating work
• Aluminium construction keeps the pan light to handle during fast-paced service
• Straightforward design with no complex parts to maintain or replace

As with all non-stick cookware in a professional environment, the coating will perform best when used with appropriate utensils and kept away from very high dry-heat. It is worth factoring this into how the pan is used and stored if longevity is a priority.

This pan is a practical choice for smaller operations, prep areas, or as a supplementary pan in a larger brigade. For kitchens with higher-volume throughput or heavier daily use, a stainless or hard-anodised option may offer more resilience over time.

If you are building out a cookware set or want guidance on matching pan sizes to your menu and service style, the team is happy to help.

The Pujadas Cool Line 160mm saucepan is a stainless steel pan finished in a distinctive red colourway, designed to work equally well in the back-of-house kitchen and at the pass or table during front-of-house service. The 160mm diameter makes it well suited to smaller batch cookery — sauces, reductions, stocks, and single-portion or small-cover preparations where a full-size saucepan would be excessive.

In day-to-day kitchen use, a pan of this size earns its place in stations where precision and portion control matter. The stainless steel construction handles repeated heating cycles reliably, and the induction-ready sandwich base means it performs consistently across gas, electric, vitro, and induction hobs without needing separate pans for different ranges.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Compatible with all common hob types, including induction
• Stainless steel construction resists warping and staining under regular use
• Colour-coded finish supports allergen management and station organisation
• Suitable for back-of-house cooking and front-of-house presentation service

It is worth noting that at 160mm this is a compact pan, most appropriate for kitchens producing smaller volumes or where a dedicated sauce or finishing pan is needed alongside larger cookware. For higher-throughput operations regularly cooking larger batch quantities, a bigger capacity pan from the same range would be a more practical choice.

This pan suits smaller restaurant kitchens, private dining, supper clubs, and any operation where colour-coded cookware supports allergen or station discipline without sacrificing build quality. If you are unsure whether this size fits your service requirements, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence sauté pan is a straightforward, well-made stainless steel pan from a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in professional kitchens. The 240mm diameter offers a practical working surface for sautéing, reducing, and shallow frying across a range of service contexts. At 3.6 litres capacity it sits comfortably in the mid-range for a pan of this type — large enough for batch work on a section, manageable enough for single-cover plating tasks.

Stainless steel construction means the pan handles the temperature cycling that comes with continuous service without warping or degrading over time. The induction-compatible base means it can move between induction hobs and conventional gas or electric ranges without issue — useful in kitchens running mixed hob types or where future equipment changes are likely. At under 750g the pan is light enough to use comfortably through a full service without placing unnecessary strain on kitchen staff.

From an operational standpoint, the Excellence range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Induction-compatible base suits kitchens running mixed or induction hob setups
• Stainless steel construction resists staining and cleans down efficiently
• Lightweight build reduces fatigue during extended service periods
• Straightforward design with no complex components or coatings to maintain
• Matfer Bourgeat's 10-year warranty reflects confidence in long-term durability

There are no particular installation requirements for a pan of this type — it works across gas, electric, and induction hobs. It is worth confirming hob ring diameter where kitchen setups use fixed-size burners, as a 240mm base performs best on a ring of compatible size.

This pan is well suited to professional kitchens looking for reliable day-to-day cookware without excessive outlay. It fits naturally in restaurants, contract catering, and pub kitchens where pans see regular rotation and need to perform consistently without special handling. For sites needing larger capacity or heavier-gauge construction for particularly demanding environments, alternatives within the range may be worth considering.

If you are building out a cookware inventory and want guidance on sizes or quantities for your specific service volumes, the team is happy to help you put together a practical selection.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition saucepan is a straightforward piece of professional cookware built around a Japanese steel cooking surface and an aluminium sandwich base. The Japanese steel interior provides an even, responsive cooking plane, while the sandwiched aluminium core improves heat distribution across the base — reducing the hot spots that cause sauces and stocks to catch during sustained service periods.

At this diameter and capacity, the pan is intended for high-volume hob work rather than occasional use. Whether it's running a sauce station through a busy dinner service, batch-cooking stocks, or holding reductions over a prolonged period, the construction is built to cope with daily repetitive use without warping or degrading. The stainless steel finish resists staining and stands up reliably to commercial washing cycles.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are:

• Aluminium sandwich base promotes even heat distribution and reduces the risk of scorching
• Stainless steel construction is durable, hygienic, and straightforward to clean
• Elongated stainless steel handle allows confident movement around a busy pass
• Compatible with most commercial hob types, including induction where the base is suitably bonded

One practical consideration at this size: the pan benefits from a burner or induction zone that can cover the base evenly. Undersized rings will compromise heat distribution and partly negate the advantage of the sandwich base. At 5kg before any contents are added, it is also worth thinking about how frequently kitchen staff will be lifting and manoeuvring it during service.

This pan suits operations running consistent, high-volume sauce or stock work — professional kitchens, contract catering, and hotel operations where a large, reliable vessel is in daily use. For kitchens with lighter or less frequent saucepan demands, smaller pans within the Tradition range may be a more practical and cost-appropriate fit.

If you're building out a batterie de cuisine or want to work through which sizes and quantities suit your specific operation, the team is always glad to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence sauté pan is a straightforward, professional-grade piece of cookware built for daily use in commercial kitchens. Constructed from stainless steel with a robust handle attachment, it is designed to hold up under the repetitive demands of busy service without the kind of wear that causes cheaper pans to fail prematurely.

In a working kitchen environment, a pan of this size earns its keep during high-output service periods — batch cooking sauces, braising, reducing stocks, or sautéing larger quantities in a single pass. The capacity means fewer pan changes during service, which keeps workflow moving and reduces the risk of holding food at the wrong temperature while chasing extra pans.

• Stainless steel construction supports both gas and induction hob use
• Watertight handle fixing reduces risk of loosening over time
• Smooth interior makes cleaning straightforward at the end of service
• Substantial build weight contributes to even heat distribution on the base
• Suitable for oven use as well as direct hob cooking

Stainless steel does require some technique to prevent sticking on dry heat, and operators new to the material may prefer to ensure sufficient fat or liquid is in the pan before high-temperature use. The pan is sold without a lid, so if covered cooking is required, a compatible lid will need to be sourced separately.

This pan is well suited to professional kitchens where durability and ease of cleaning take priority over non-stick convenience — particularly in high-turnover environments such as restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations. For kitchens needing a smaller working size or a larger batch-cooking vessel, other options within the range are worth considering.

If you are building out your pan stock and want to discuss the right mix of sizes for your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef is a professional-grade sauté pan in non-stick coated aluminium, designed for use across a wide range of stove-top cooking tasks. The flared sides are a practical design choice — they make tossing and folding food straightforward and allow moisture to escape more readily than a straight-sided pan, which suits reduction work and pan-frying equally well. At 20cm, this is a single-portion or small-batch pan rather than a high-volume service piece.

Aluminium conducts heat quickly and evenly, which is useful in a busy kitchen where consistent results across multiple portions matter. The non-stick surface reduces the need for excess fat and makes cleaning between uses faster, which helps maintain pace during service. Matfer Bourgeat is a well-regarded French manufacturer with a long track record in professional kitchens, and the Classe Chef range reflects that — these are working pans built to perform under regular use rather than occasional domestic cooking.

• Handles well for sautéing, pan-frying, and sauce finishing
• Non-stick coating reduces cleaning time between covers
• Flared profile supports tossing and evaporation work
• Even aluminium construction minimises hot spots
• Practical size for single portions or small accompaniments

As with all non-stick aluminium cookware, it is worth considering how it will be used day to day. Non-stick surfaces benefit from the use of appropriate utensils and careful cleaning practice — metal implements and abrasive cleaning agents will shorten the working life of the coating. This pan is not induction-compatible unless your hob includes a suitable interface disc. If you are equipping a brigade that works across mixed hob types, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering.

This 20cm pan is best suited to smaller-scale operations, à la carte service, or as part of a set where different sizes are used for different tasks. If your kitchen handles larger batch work, a bigger diameter would serve you better.

If you are putting together a cookware set for a new kitchen or replacing specific pieces, we are happy to talk through what works well for your style of service.

The De Buyer Inocuivre saute pan is a professional copper cookware piece in the traditional French style, constructed predominantly from copper with a brass handle. At 24cm across, it holds 3 litres and is suited to sauce work, reductions, and sautéed preparations where precise, responsive heat control matters.

Copper conducts heat significantly faster and more evenly than stainless steel or aluminium, which makes a practical difference when working sauces that can scorch quickly or proteins that need immediate temperature adjustment. Chefs who work with copper regularly often describe the responsiveness as something you feel rather than just measure — heat follows the burner closely in both directions, giving genuine moment-to-moment control during service. The Inocuivre range is built to that standard.

From a practical standpoint, the main considerations are as follows:

• Copper cookware requires more attentive cleaning than stainless — avoid abrasive pads that mark the finish
• Not suitable for induction hobs; compatible with gas, electric, and radiant ceramic
• The brass handle does not carry heat as aggressively as some metals, but handle protection is still advisable during extended cooking
• At under 2kg, the pan is well balanced and manageable across a full service

This pan is well suited to professional kitchens where copper cookware is already part of the batterie, and to chefs who prioritise thermal precision over convenience. It also lends itself to pass or table presentation where the appearance of the pan is part of the experience. It is less suited to operations where cookware is cycled through a commercial dishwasher, as copper requires hand washing to maintain condition.

If you are building out a copper range or unsure whether this size suits your specific service requirements, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The Vogue Platinum Plus Saute Pan is a 320mm aluminium pan with a Teflon non-stick coating and full induction compatibility. It is designed for everyday professional use across a range of saute and shallow-fry tasks, sitting comfortably in the mid-range of Vogue's cookware line.

Aluminium construction gives the pan good thermal conductivity, helping heat distribute evenly across the base and sides during service. The raised sides are practical for tossing ingredients and reducing spillage when working quickly at the stove. At 1.7kg, it is light enough for prolonged use without causing fatigue, which matters during a busy service when pans are being moved repeatedly.

The Teflon coating offers a few practical advantages in a working kitchen:

• Reduces the amount of oil or fat needed during cooking
• Makes cleaning straightforward between covers and at close of service
• Helps prevent food from sticking during delicate saute work
• Compatible with induction hobs without any adaptor required

As with all non-stick aluminium pans, care should be taken with utensil choice — metal utensils will degrade the coating over time. The pan is best suited to kitchens where non-stick performance is a priority and where staff are trained to use appropriate utensils and avoid high dry-heat preheating.

This pan is well suited to smaller operations, cafes, and pub kitchens with moderate throughput. For high-volume sites where pans are in near-constant use across multiple services, a cast iron or stainless steel alternative may offer greater long-term durability. This size works well as a workhorse pan for single-portion cooking and smaller batch work.

If you are building out a cookware set or are unsure which pan sizes and materials suit your menu, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your kitchen.

The Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-Ply Sauté Pan is a piece of professional cookware built from a fully bonded five-layer construction combining copper, aluminium, and stainless steel throughout the body — not just the base. That full construction matters in practice: heat spreads evenly across the base and up the lower sidewalls, which is where sauces catch and reductions become unpredictable if the pan is inconsistent.

The copper and aluminium layers respond quickly to changes in hob temperature, which helps during the kind of precise, reactive cooking that à la carte service demands. The stainless steel exterior is hardwearing, straightforward to clean down after service, and compatible with induction as well as gas and electric hobs — useful in kitchens where hob types vary across sections or where a setup change is planned.

From an operational standpoint, this construction offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Even heat across base and sidewalls reduces hot spots and caught sauces
• Quick thermal response supports precise, reactive cooking during service
• Induction-compatible exterior gives flexibility across hob types
• Helper handle allows safe two-handed transfer when the pan is loaded
• Stainless steel exterior holds up to regular commercial handling and cleaning

At 260mm, this pan is well suited to sauce work, sautéing, and finishing rather than bulk preparation. It fits naturally into a brigade kitchen as a dedicated sauce or garnish pan. For operations needing higher-capacity cookware or heavier-gauge construction for sustained volume cooking, larger options are available within the range.

If you are putting together a cookware specification or replacing individual pieces and would like to talk through what will work best across your sections, the team is glad to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef sauté pan is a professional-grade aluminium pan designed for daily use in commercial kitchens. Made in France, it features a four-layer PFOA-free non-stick coating applied over a thick aluminium body, giving it the kind of heat distribution and coating durability that holds up to repeated use across a busy service.

In practice, the thick aluminium base responds quickly to changes in heat, which suits the pace of a working kitchen where you need consistent results without constantly adjusting the flame. The flared sides make it straightforward to toss or turn ingredients and to transfer food cleanly to plates. The non-stick surface reduces the need for excessive fat and makes cleaning faster between services — both practical advantages when time is short.

• Four-layer PFOA-free non-stick coating rated for intensive professional use
• Thick aluminium construction for even, responsive heat distribution
• Flared sides suited to sautéing, reducing and plating directly from the pan
• Made in France to Matfer Bourgeat's professional cookware standards
• Lightweight build at 742g, reducing fatigue during extended service periods

At 742g, the pan is light enough to handle comfortably through a long service, which matters when pans are in constant rotation. It is suitable for use on gas and electric hobs. It is not induction compatible, so this is worth confirming against your existing range before ordering. The non-stick coating, while rated for intensive use, will last longer with appropriate utensils and without exposure to very high dry heat.

This pan is well suited to à la carte kitchens, catering operations, and prep environments where a reliable non-stick sauté pan is used regularly but not subjected to extremely high-temperature searing. Operators running higher volumes or needing induction compatibility may find a heavier-duty or induction-ready alternative more appropriate.

If you're unsure whether this pan is the right fit for your setup, we're happy to talk it through.

The Pujadas Cool Line 200mm sauce pot is a stainless steel cooking pot with a close-fitting lid, finished in a bold red colour. It is part of Pujadas's coloured cookware range, which is designed to move comfortably between the kitchen and the table — practical for operators who want a neat, consistent look when serving directly from the pot.

In a working kitchen environment, the stainless steel construction handles daily use across multiple services without issue. The induction-ready sandwich base means it performs reliably on induction, gas, vitro, and electric hobs, so it fits into most commercial kitchen setups without any special consideration. The 200mm diameter is well suited to smaller batch preparation — sauces, gravies, soups, and similar tasks where a compact, manageable pot is more practical than a full stockpot.

The practical advantages of this style of pot include:

• Colour-coded for allergen or station separation in busy kitchens
• Moves from hob to table without needing a separate serving vessel
• Compatible with all common commercial hob types including induction
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and maintain
• Ergonomic handles make it manageable during service

There are no complex installation requirements — this is a standalone piece of cookware. It is worth considering whether the 200mm size matches your typical batch volumes. For sites preparing larger quantities, a bigger pot from the same Cool Line range would be the more practical choice.

This pot is a good fit for smaller kitchens, cafés, and front-of-house service settings where presentation matters as much as performance. It is equally at home in a hotel restaurant or a small bistro that serves directly at the table.

If you are building out a set of coloured cookware or are unsure which sizes best suit your service volumes, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The De Buyer Inocuivre 28cm saute pan is a copper cookware piece with a solid brass handle and a fitted lid. Constructed predominantly from copper, it offers the kind of thermal responsiveness that professional kitchens rely on for saucing, reduction work, and gentle braising — tasks where temperature control directly affects the quality of the dish.

Copper heats rapidly and distributes heat with a consistency that most other materials cannot match. In a busy service environment, this means more immediate response when you need to raise or drop the heat quickly, and fewer hot spots that can scorch delicate preparations. The 5.5-litre capacity makes it well suited to small-batch sauce work, sides, and à la carte cooking rather than bulk production. Its 3.37kg weight is noticeable with a full load, so it's worth factoring that in for high-turnover stations where the pan will be moved frequently.

• Copper construction delivers fast, even heat distribution across the base and sides
• Brass handle stays cooler than the pan body and provides a firm, confident grip
• Fitted lid retains moisture and heat during resting or gentle braising
• 5.5-litre capacity suits small-batch sauce and sauté work at à la carte volume
• Suitable for gas, electric, and solid-top ranges — not compatible with induction

As with all copper cookware, the Inocuivre range requires some consideration around maintenance. Copper will develop a patina with use and will need periodic cleaning to maintain its appearance, which matters particularly if the pan is used for front-of-house presentation. It is worth establishing a cleaning routine early. The pan is not induction compatible, so confirm your heat source before purchasing.

This pan is best suited to professional kitchens where precise heat control is a genuine operational requirement — fine dining, classical French cuisine, and brigade kitchens where copper cookware is a deliberate choice rather than an aesthetic one. It is less well suited to high-volume, rough-and-ready environments where durability under heavy daily abuse is the priority. For operations needing larger batch capacity, heavier-gauge options are available within the wider range.

If you have questions about whether this pan is the right fit for your kitchen's service style or heat sources, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Vogue 1.2 litre aluminium saucepan is a small, general-purpose pan designed for everyday prep and sauce work in commercial kitchens. Constructed from aluminium, it heats quickly and distributes heat evenly across the base — a practical characteristic when working across multiple burners during a busy service. The reinforced double-thick rim adds durability where pans typically take the most punishment, and the riveted handle provides a secure, stable grip under working conditions.

At this capacity, the pan is best suited to heating sauces, reductions, and small-batch accompaniments rather than bulk cooking. It sits comfortably on a standard commercial range and is light enough to move quickly between stations. The aluminium construction keeps weight low — useful when kitchen staff are handling multiple pans across a shift.

• Heats rapidly, reducing lag time during service
• Riveted handle stays secure under regular heavy use
• Reinforced rim resists damage from stacking and general handling
• Lightweight build reduces fatigue during longer prep periods
• Compatible with standard commercial gas and electric ranges

It is worth noting that aluminium is not suitable for induction hobs without an induction-compatible base, and this pan does not include one. A matching aluminium lid is available separately, as are cool-grip handle accessories if required for your service style.

This pan is well suited to small kitchens, cafés, and prep sections where a reliable, lightweight option is needed for sauces and small-quantity work. For higher-volume operations or kitchens requiring induction compatibility, a heavier-gauge or stainless alternative may be more appropriate.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing cookware across a section, our team is happy to talk through what will work best for your setup.

These Utopia mini saucepans are small stainless steel vessels designed primarily for tabletop presentation and individual sauce service rather than stovetop cooking. The aged, worn finish gives them a deliberately rustic, industrial character, and the brass-effect handles reinforce that aesthetic. They are supplied as a pack of six, which suits settings where multiple covers are being served simultaneously.

In practice, these are most commonly used in casual dining, bistro, and gastropub environments where sauces, gravies, or condiments are served directly to the table in the vessel rather than plated. The finish works particularly well against white crockery and bare wood or slate table surfaces. Because the appeal is largely presentational, they are best suited to ambient or lightly warmed sauce service rather than heavy kitchen use.

• Rustic worn-steel finish adds character to tabletop sauce or condiment service
• Brass-effect handles complement informal and industrial dining aesthetics
• Supplied in a pack of six to support consistent multi-cover service
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to wipe down between uses
• Compact 90mm diameter keeps table footprint minimal

These are lightweight pieces — worth bearing in mind if you intend to use them over direct heat for prolonged periods, which is not their intended purpose. For operations needing genuine cookware with thermal performance and heavy daily use, a more substantial pan would be the appropriate choice. These are a front-of-house presentation item first and foremost.

They suit casual dining operators, pub kitchens, and event caterers looking to add a consistent, styled look to sauce service without significant outlay. If you are unsure whether they fit the look or service style you have in mind, the team is happy to talk it through.

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.

The Pujadas Ø240 aluminium sauce pot is a straight-forward, workhorse piece of cookware designed for the demands of commercial food preparation. Built from pure aluminium, it is commonly used across professional kitchens for sauces, stocks, soups, and other wet preparations where volume and consistency matter. It is supplied without a lid, so where a lid is required this will need to be sourced separately.

Aluminium is a practical material choice for busy kitchen environments. It conducts heat quickly and evenly, which helps reduce hot spots and supports consistent results across a full shift. The extra-thick base adds resistance to deformation over time, keeping the pot stable and in full contact with the heat source — which matters both for cooking performance and energy efficiency during long service periods.

From an operational standpoint, a few features are worth noting:

• Tubular stainless steel handles are heat-insulating, reducing the risk of burns during handling
• Each handle is secured with four rivets, providing a reliable, stable attachment under heavy daily use
• The aluminium construction is lightweight relative to cast iron alternatives, easing handling when full
• Pure aluminium is fully recyclable, which may be relevant where kitchens are working towards sustainability targets

This pot is suited to gas and solid top ranges. It is worth confirming compatibility with induction hobs before purchasing, as standard aluminium cookware is not induction-compatible without a suitable base. For very high-volume sites running continuous production, a heavier-gauge or larger-capacity option may be worth considering.

Well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and staff canteens where reliable, everyday cookware is needed at volume. If you are kitting out a new kitchen or replacing existing stock and want to talk through what sizes and quantities make sense for your operation, the team is happy to help.

The Pujadas Black Series 360mm saucepot is a cast aluminium non-stick pot designed for regular, high-frequency use in professional kitchens. It is supplied without a lid and is compatible with induction hobs alongside other common heat sources, making it a practical choice for kitchens running mixed or induction-based cooking suites.

Cast aluminium construction gives this pot a useful balance of even heat distribution and manageable weight during service. The non-stick surface helps reduce food adhesion during cooking and makes cleaning more straightforward at the end of a busy shift — a practical consideration when turnaround time between services matters. At 360mm, this is a generously sized vessel suited to batch cooking, sauce production, and stock reduction in mid- to high-volume operations.

• Cast aluminium body distributes heat evenly, reducing hot spots
• Non-stick interior simplifies cleaning and reduces food waste
• Induction compatible — works across most commercial cooking suites
• Sized for batch production and multi-portion service
• Supplied without lid, allowing pairing with a suitable universal cover

As with all non-stick cookware in commercial use, care with utensil choice and cleaning method will extend the working life of the surface. Metal utensils and abrasive cleaning agents should be avoided. For kitchens with very high cookware turnover or rough handling environments, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty alternative might offer longer service life.

This pot is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, catering operations, and contract catering environments where induction cooking is in use and reliable, consistent results are needed across service periods.

If you are building out a cookware kit or matching this to an existing induction suite, our team are happy to help you think through what works best for your setup.
