Stock Pots

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence stock pot is a heavy-gauge stainless steel pan built for the demands of professional kitchen use. At 10.8 litres, it sits in a practical mid-range capacity that works well for stock production, pasta cookery, blanching, and bulk sauce reduction without occupying excessive hob space.

In day-to-day service it holds up reliably under sustained heat across multiple covers. The stainless steel construction handles the repeated heating and cooling cycles that commercial cookware is subjected to, and the gauge is substantial enough to resist warping over time — a common failure point with lighter pans used in busy kitchens. Compatible with gas, electric, and induction hobs, it transfers between kitchen setups without issue, which is useful for sites with mixed or upgraded equipment.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Induction compatibility gives flexibility across hob types without needing a separate pan
• Stainless steel is straightforward to clean and hygienic for stock and sauce work
• The capacity suits prep-ahead cooking without the bulk of larger stock vessels
• A 10-year warranty reflects the quality of construction and expected service life

No installation requirements apply — this is a freestanding pan that drops into any existing hob setup. The weight when full should be considered for kitchens where manual handling is a factor. It is worth noting that a lid is sold separately (Matfer reference K834), so factor that in if covered simmering is part of your workflow.

This pot suits small to mid-sized kitchens where a reliable all-purpose stock pan is needed for regular service. For high-volume operations producing stock or pasta in bulk quantities, a larger-capacity vessel would be a more practical choice. For lighter or occasional use, a smaller pot in the same range may suffice.

If you are unsure which capacity fits your prep volumes or want to talk through how this sits alongside your existing cookware, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Pujadas Black Series stock pot is a professional-grade cookware piece designed for induction hobs, finished with a non-stick interior coating suitable for everyday commercial kitchen use. It is supplied without a lid, which is worth noting at the point of ordering if a covered vessel is required for your application.

In a working kitchen environment, a pot of this size is well suited to preparing stocks, soups, sauces, and braised dishes during prep and service. The non-stick coating reduces the risk of ingredients catching during longer, slower cooking processes and makes post-service cleaning more straightforward — a practical consideration when turnaround time between services is tight.

• Non-stick interior simplifies cleaning and reduces food waste from sticking
• Induction-compatible base suitable for use across most modern professional hob types
• Robust Black Series construction designed for regular commercial use
• Supplied without lid — compatible lids can typically be sourced separately

As an induction-specific piece, compatibility with your existing hob setup should be confirmed before use. The pot performs well on flat induction surfaces; if your kitchen operates predominantly on gas or solid-top ranges, it is worth checking the base construction is appropriate for your heat source.

This stock pot is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, café operations, and catering environments where a mid-sized induction-compatible vessel covers most day-to-day cooking tasks. For sites preparing stock or bulk sauces in larger quantities across multiple services, a higher-capacity pot may be worth considering alongside this piece.

If you are building out a cookware set or matching this to a specific induction suite, the team are happy to help you confirm the right fit before you order.

This is a large-capacity aluminium stock pot from Vogue, intended for bulk preparation of stocks, soups, sauces, and braising liquids in professional kitchen environments. At 37.8 litres, it sits firmly in the heavy-production end of the range and is built for the kind of volume that smaller pots simply cannot handle in a single batch.

Aluminium is a practical choice for stock pots at this size. It conducts heat quickly and evenly across the base and sides, which helps prevent localised scorching during long, slow cooking — a particular consideration when preparing bone stocks or reduced sauces that require extended time on the hob. The material also keeps overall weight manageable for a pot of this capacity, which matters when it needs to be lifted, drained, or moved during service.

From an operational standpoint, this pot suits kitchens where batch cooking is a regular part of prep workflow:

• Large capacity reduces the number of batches needed for high-volume prep
• Even heat distribution supports consistent results across the full volume
• Two handles provide a secure two-person lift when full
• Compatible lid available separately, aiding heat retention and reducing reduction times
• Straightforward to clean and resistant to the routine demands of a busy kitchen

It works well on gas and solid-top ranges. Aluminium is not induction-compatible, so it is worth confirming your hob type before purchasing. The pot is also worth pairing with the compatible lid if simmering or holding for extended periods, as this improves heat retention and reduces the risk of over-evaporation.

This pot is well suited to high-volume catering operations, contract caterers, hospital or school kitchens, and any site where large-batch liquid cooking is a regular task. For lighter use or smaller services, a smaller capacity within the same range would be more appropriate. For very high-output operations running multiple batches simultaneously, it may be worth considering a heavier-gauge option.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your prep volumes or have questions about cookware for a particular menu type, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Vogue 49 litre deep stock pot is a large-capacity stainless steel pot designed for producing stocks, soups, broths, and sauces in volume. Built from 18/10 stainless steel with welded stay-cool handles, it is a practical workhorse for kitchens where batch cooking is a regular part of the operation.

At this capacity, the pot suits kitchens that need to produce significant volumes in a single batch — whether that is a large pot of stock left to reduce overnight, a soup base prepared ahead of service, or a sauce running continuously through a busy shift. The heavy-gauge construction holds heat evenly and handles sustained use on commercial ranges without distorting or discolouring under repeated high-temperature cooking.

Key practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Welded stay-cool handles for safer handling during service
• 18/10 stainless steel resists staining and holds up to regular cleaning cycles
• Induction compatible, giving flexibility across different range types
• Smooth interior with no seams at the base — easier to clean thoroughly
• Lid sold separately, allowing use open or covered depending on the application

At 8.26kg empty, this is a substantial piece of equipment. When full, it will be considerably heavier, so consider your team's handling capability and whether your range can accommodate the footprint comfortably. It is worth confirming burner or induction zone size is adequate for a pot of this diameter before ordering.

This pot is well suited to high-volume catering operations, hotels, contract caterers, and any kitchen regularly producing large batches. For smaller kitchens or lighter batch requirements, a smaller capacity from the same range may be more practical. For extremely high-volume central production kitchens, a tilting bratt pan or dedicated boiling pan may be worth considering instead.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your operation, the team is happy to talk through your requirements.

This is a large-format aluminium stock pot from Pujadas, part of their Century Aluminium Cookware range, designed for high-volume batch cooking in professional kitchens. Without a lid, it is suited to open reduction work, stock making, blanching and similar tasks where constant access or ventilation is required. The Ø450 diameter puts this firmly in the territory of central production kitchens, large catering operations and contract catering environments.

Aluminium is a well-established material in professional cookware because of its thermal conductivity. It heats quickly and distributes temperature evenly across the base and sides, which matters when you are cooking large volumes of liquid and need consistent results without hot spots. The extra-thick base construction helps the pot maintain contact with the heat source and resist the deformation that can occur over years of daily service on high-output burners.

From an operational standpoint, the design addresses some of the practical frustrations that come with large-format pots:

• Tubular stainless steel handles insulate against heat transfer, reducing burn risk when moving a full pot
• Four-rivet handle attachment per side provides the structural integrity needed when lifting at full capacity
• Thick-gauge aluminium walls help maintain batch temperatures during extended cooking cycles
• Pure aluminium construction supports even heating without reliance on additional base layers
• Straightforward, uncoated interior makes inspection and thorough cleaning straightforward

A pot of this diameter requires a burner or range section large enough to support it properly — both in terms of grate size and heat output. It is worth confirming your range can accommodate the footprint before ordering. This pot is supplied without a lid, so if covered simmering or storage is part of your workflow, a compatible lid will need to be sourced separately.

This pot suits central production kitchens, large hotel operations, contract caterers and institutional catering where batch volumes justify the size. Smaller kitchens with lower throughput would likely find a smaller diameter more practical day to day. Equally, for very high-output sites running multiple large batches simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or larger-capacity option would be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your operation or want to talk through what your range can handle, the team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Vogue 20.5-litre deep stock pot is a straightforward, heavy-duty pan built for the everyday demands of a working kitchen. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, it is well suited to producing large batches of stocks, soups, sauces, and blanching liquids, and is compatible with gas, electric, and induction hob surfaces.

In practice, a pot of this capacity covers most small to medium kitchen operations comfortably. It holds enough volume to run a full service without constant replenishment, while remaining manageable to handle and move when full. The welded stay-cool handles are practical on a busy pass, reducing the risk of burns when repositioning the pot during service. The stainless steel construction withstands repeated high-temperature use and cleans reliably, which matters when the same pot goes through two or three services a day.

The key practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Induction compatibility gives flexibility across different hob types
• Welded handles reduce the risk of joints working loose over time
• 18/10 stainless steel resists corrosion and staining with normal care
• Straightforward shape makes cleaning and descaling quick between services
• Robust enough for daily use in a professional kitchen environment

There are no unusual installation requirements — this is a freestanding pot that works with your existing hob setup. It is worth confirming your induction hob's maximum pan diameter before ordering. The lid is sold separately, so factor that in if covered simmering is part of your workflow.

This pot is a sensible choice for small to medium operations, catering functions, and establishments running regular batch cookery. For sites producing very high volumes or running continuous overnight stocks, a larger-capacity option in the range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your service volumes or want to talk through your cookware setup, the team is happy to help you get it right.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition stockpot is a straightforward, well-constructed piece of professional cookware built for daily use in commercial kitchens. At 11 litres, it sits in a practical mid-range capacity — large enough for meaningful batch cooking of stocks, soups, sauces, gravies, and braises, yet manageable enough to handle safely during a busy service.

In working kitchens this type of pot tends to be in near-constant rotation, moving between hobs, pass areas, and cold storage through repeated heating and cooling cycles. The stainless steel construction handles that reliably without warping or staining over time, and it cleans down quickly at the end of service — both factors that matter when the same pot is being used across multiple sittings.

For day-to-day kitchen operation, the practical advantages are clear:

• Stainless steel resists staining and holds up well to sustained commercial use
• Dual opposing handles allow safe two-handed transfer when the pot is hot and full
• Suitable for use on induction and conventional hobs — confirm base compatibility with your specific hob before ordering
• Straightforward to clean and stack neatly with other cookware between services

There are no installation requirements beyond a compatible hob. It is worth verifying induction compatibility if that is your primary heat source, as base suitability can vary across stainless steel cookware ranges.

This stockpot is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, smaller restaurant operations, and any site where a dependable everyday pot is needed for moderate batch volumes. For kitchens producing stocks or sauces in larger quantities per service, a higher-capacity model from the same range is worth considering.

If you are building out a cookware set or want to confirm the right capacity for your production volumes, the team is happy to advise.

This is a large-capacity aluminium stock pot from Vogue, designed for producing soups, stocks, broths, sauces and similar preparations in substantial volumes. At 56.7 litres, it sits at the larger end of the standard stock pot range and is intended for operations where volume output matters during a service.

Aluminium is widely used in commercial cookware because it conducts heat quickly and evenly across the base and walls, which reduces the risk of localised hot spots and helps contents cook consistently without constant attention. It also responds quickly to heat adjustments, which is useful when managing multiple preparations across a busy service period. The trade-off with aluminium is that it is softer than stainless steel and can show wear more readily under heavy daily use, though for the majority of stock and soup production it performs reliably over time.

From a practical standpoint, this pot offers a straightforward working experience:

• Wide 440mm diameter gives comfortable access for stirring and adding ingredients
• Two sturdy side handles allow stable two-handed lifting when full
• Compatible 440mm lid available separately, which helps with simmering and heat retention
• Smooth internal profile makes cleaning and draining straightforward

There are no electrical or gas installation requirements for the pot itself — suitability depends on your existing hob or range. Given the overall weight once filled, it is worth confirming that your burner or induction zone is rated for the load. At this capacity, a heavy-duty range burner or a large commercial induction unit is the more practical pairing.

This pot is well suited to catering operations producing soups, stocks or sauces in bulk — contract caterers, hotel kitchens, large staff restaurants and similar environments. Smaller operations running lower volumes may find a mid-range capacity more practical for daily use. If your volumes are considerably higher, a heavier-gauge or larger-format option may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this capacity fits your production requirements or want to check compatibility with your existing equipment, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Pujadas Black Series stock pot is a professional-grade piece of cookware designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. The 240mm diameter positions it as a practical mid-size option — large enough to handle batch stocks, soups, sauces, and braised preparations, without the bulk of a full-volume stockpot that demands significant hob space. It is supplied without a lid, so operators requiring a covered option will need to source one separately or confirm compatibility with an existing lid from their current batterie.

The non-stick interior reduces the risk of ingredients catching during slow reductions and makes cleaning between service periods considerably more straightforward than an uncoated pan. The induction-compatible base means it works across both induction and conventional gas or electric hobs, giving kitchens flexibility as their equipment setup evolves.

In practical terms, the Black Series cookware is built to a standard that holds up under the repetitive heat cycling that commercial use demands. Pujadas have a well-established reputation in professional cookware, and this range reflects that — functional, durable, and designed with a kitchen's daily rhythm in mind rather than occasional domestic use.

• Induction-compatible base suits mixed hob environments
• Non-stick interior simplifies cleaning and reduces food adhesion
• Mid-size 240mm diameter suits sauces, soups, and batch cooking
• Supplied without lid — check compatibility if a covered option is needed

This pot is a sound choice for smaller brigades or as part of a wider set. For high-volume operations running continuous production, a larger capacity model may be worth considering. If you are building out a new batterie or replacing ageing cookware and want a second opinion on sizing, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Boiling Pan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. At 17 litres, it sits in the mid-range of Matfer's Tradition Plus line — large enough for substantial batch cooking, but manageable enough for a single cook to handle safely during service.

In practice, this pan is well suited to stockpots, sauces, blanching vegetables, and general wet cookery where a reliable, even-heating vessel is needed throughout a busy shift. The reinforced non-drip edge reduces mess when transferring liquids, and the heavy-gauge stainless steel construction holds up to the kind of daily use that lighter pans struggle with over time. It is compatible with all cooking surfaces, including induction, which makes it a practical choice for kitchens running induction hobs alongside conventional ranges.

Key operational features include:

• Induction-compatible base — works across all hob types without additional adaptors
• Reinforced non-drip edge with an ultra-thick bumper to reduce spillage when pouring
• Stay-cool, watertight handles for safer handling during service
• Robust construction suited to repeated high-temperature use and commercial washing
• Lids available separately, allowing operators to spec the pan independently

Being a mid-capacity pan, it is worth considering your typical batch sizes before ordering. For sites preparing stock or large-volume soups in single batches, a larger pan from the same range may reduce the number of cooking cycles needed. Conversely, for smaller operations or where multiple pans are used simultaneously across a range, 17 litres is a practical size to work with.

If you are unsure whether this capacity is the right fit for your kitchen's service volumes or hob configuration, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Boiling Pan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan designed for everyday commercial kitchen use.

The pan carries no lid as standard; lids are sold separately, so factor that into your order if needed.

This pan is well suited to hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, pub kitchens, and restaurants with regular batch cooking requirements. It is particularly practical where induction cooking is in use. For higher-volume sites or central production kitchens needing significantly greater capacity, a larger format pan from the same range may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this capacity suits your service volumes or want to discuss pan sizing across your kitchen, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus boiling pan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan designed for everyday use across a wide range of commercial cooking tasks. At 11 litres capacity, it sits in a practical mid-size bracket — large enough for batch cooking stocks, sauces, soups and blanching, while remaining manageable on the stove during service.

Matfer Bourgeat are well regarded in professional kitchens, and the Tradition Plus range reflects that reputation. The construction is notably robust: the non-drip reinforced rim helps reduce spillage when pouring, and the ultra-thick bumper edge contributes to durability under the kind of daily handling that commercial cookware takes. The stay-cool handle remains comfortable to grip during service, which matters when the pace picks up and pan movement is frequent.

A practical advantage of this pan is full induction compatibility, meaning it works across all common cooking surfaces — induction, gas, electric solid top, and ceramic.
