Pujadas Aluminium Stock Pot Without Lid Ø280

This Pujadas stock pot is a straightforward piece of professional cookware made from pure aluminium sheet. It is part of the Pujadas Century range and is designed for the kind of sustained, repetitive use that commercial kitchens put cookware through daily — bulk stock production, soup preparation, blanching and large-batch sauce work.

Aluminium conducts heat efficiently and evenly, which matters in a busy kitchen where consistent results and fuel economy both count. The extra-thick base is constructed to resist the warping that thinner pots suffer over time on high-output ranges and solid-top hobs, ensuring the pot stays flat and maintains proper contact with the heat source throughout its working life. The stainless steel tubular handles are heat-insulating and fixed with four rivets per side, giving a secure grip under load and reducing the risk of a handle working loose in service.

Practical advantages for kitchen operations include:

• Even heat distribution reduces hot spots and the risk of product catching
• Thick-gauge construction resists deformation under daily commercial use
• Insulated handles allow safer handling when the pot is full and hot
• Pure aluminium construction is fully recyclable at end of life
• Straightforward design with no complex components to fail or replace

There are a few practical points worth noting. This pot is sold without a lid, so if covered simmering or storage is required, a suitable lid will need to be sourced separately. Aluminium is not suitable for induction hobs unless used with an induction interface plate. It is also worth considering that aluminium can react with strongly acidic ingredients over extended cooking periods, which is relevant for certain stocks or tomato-based preparations.

This pot is well suited to professional kitchens producing stocks, soups and sauces in volume — from hotel and restaurant operations through to school catering and contract catering environments. For sites preparing exceptionally large batches or running continuous production, larger-capacity options are available within the range.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your production volumes or hob type, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
