Pot

The pot is a central item in any professional kitchen as well as in the demanding home kitchen: its height and large capacity allow you to cook stocks, broths, soups, pasta or slow-simmered meats in large quantities. In our Pot section, you will find models suited to every volume and every type of hob, selected for their sturdiness and their suitability for intensive use. This section is part of our Cookware range.

Choosing the right pot

Which diameter and capacity should I choose?

The choice depends on the number of guests and the type of preparation. For sauces or small quantities, a pot under 20 cm is enough; for everyday service, opt for a 20 to 30 cm format; above 30 cm, you cover the needs of catering and large quantities of stocks or broths.

Which material should I favour?

18/10 stainless steel remains the benchmark in professional settings for its strength, hygiene and longevity. Aluminium offers more responsive heating and lighter weight, while copper allows precise temperature control. Non-stick models make cleaning easier.

Is it compatible with my heat source?

Check compatibility with your hob type. An induction pot has a ferromagnetic base suited to induction hobs. For a kitchen equipped with several sources, an all hobs pot ensures complete versatility.

Stockpot or Dutch oven?

The pot is taller than it is wide and suits large-volume cooking and liquids. For preparations needing more base surface, consider a stockpot or a saute pan.
