  • Con: The compatible lid being sold separately is a bit of a niggle for a premium pot.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid Bistro in Whitby needed to upgrade its core cookware. Their old aluminium pots were warping from the high heat and  reacting with their acidic tomato-based seafood sauces, affecting the final taste.

"We were constantly fighting against hotspots and  a metallic tang in our sauces. Since switching to the Bourgeat stainless steel pots, the difference is night and  day. The heat is perfectly even, and  the flavour of our food is pure and  clean."

Eleanor Vance – Head Chef

The switch has resulted in perfectly consistent sauces and  has cut down pot-scrubbing time by at least 30% at the end of each service, allowing staff to focus on other closing duties.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first outing, give the pot a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Always place the pot centrally on your chosen hob ring to ensure the most efficient and  even heat distribution.
  • Check that the base is flat and  stable on the cooking surface before adding liquids or turning on the heat.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean promptly after each use to prevent food from hardening, which makes cleaning more difficult.
  • While dishwasher safe, handwashing can prolong its pristine finish. Avoid harsh abrasive pads or steel wool.
  • For any stubborn food deposits, soak the pot in warm, soapy water rather than resorting to excessive scrubbing.
  • Store in a dry place and, if stacking, place a cloth between pots to prevent scratches.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Stockpot

Not sure which pot is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what the pros look for.

Size & Capacity

Match the pot's capacity to your menu. A 10-20 litre pot is brilliant for sauces and  small-batch soups, while larger kitchens may need 50+ litres for bone broths and  bulk prep.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It’s incredibly durable, non-reactive with acidic ingredients (like tomatoes or wine), and  easy to keep hygienically clean.

Base Construction

Look for a thick, 'sandwich' base, especially one that's induction-compatible. This layered construction (usually steel and  aluminium) prevents warping and  eliminates hotspots for even cooking.

Handle with Care

Welded handles are the top choice for hygiene and  strength, as they leave no internal crevices for food to get trapped in. Riveted handles are common but require more careful cleaning.

Induction Ready?

Even if you don't use induction now, buying compatible cookware future-proofs your kitchen for any equipment upgrades down the line.

More Than Just a Handle: The Welded Advantage

Ever wondered why pro chefs rave about welded handles? It comes down to two crucial things: hygiene and  strength. Traditional pots use rivets to attach handles, which creates tiny, hard-to-clean crevices on the inside of the pot. Over time, these gaps trap food particles and  water, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria—a major hygiene risk.

The Bourgeat Excellence K770 stockpot features handles that are welded directly onto the body. This creates a completely smooth, seamless interior surface. There's simply nowhere for food or germs to hide, making it incredibly easy to clean and  sanitise properly. Think of it like a perfectly sealed joint versus one held with bolts; the sealed one is stronger, more secure, and  has no weak points. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to food safety and  durability in a busy kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for simmering signature stocks, sauces, and  soups that form the base of your menu.
  • Hotel & Banqueting Halls: The perfect size for large-batch prep for buffets, room service, and  event catering.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: A robust, reliable, and  easily transportable pot that performs flawlessly in any temporary kitchen setup.
  • Artisan Food Producers: Ideal for crafting consistent batches of jams, chutneys, and  preserves with excellent heat control.
