This is a large-format aluminium sauce pot from Pujadas, part of their Century Aluminium cookware range. At 350mm in diameter, it is intended for high-volume sauce, stock, and soup preparation in professional kitchen environments. It is supplied without a lid, making it practical for continuous stirring applications or situations where a universal lid is already in use.
Aluminium is a well-established material in commercial cookware because of its thermal conductivity. Heat travels quickly and evenly across the base and up the sides, which helps operators maintain consistent temperatures during busy service periods without the lag associated with heavier materials. The extra-thick base resists deformation over time, keeping the pot in full contact with the heat source and avoiding the uneven heating that a warped base can cause.
For kitchen teams working at pace, the construction details matter in day-to-day use:
- Tubular stainless steel handles remain cooler to the touch than the pot body during cooking
- Four-rivet handle attachment per side provides a secure, stable grip under load
- Thick aluminium walls offer good resistance to impact and daily wear
- Pure aluminium construction makes the pot straightforward to clean and maintain
- The open-top design suits continuous reduction and stock work without steam build-up
This pot is well suited to kitchens producing sauces, soups, or stocks in quantity — contract caterers, hotel banqueting operations, and busy pub or restaurant kitchens are typical environments. For operations working with smaller batch sizes, narrower options in the same range may be more practical. For very high-volume sites running multiple hob positions simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or larger-capacity vessel would better fit the workflow.
If you are building out a cookware set or are unsure which sizes suit your service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
