It’s a no-nonsense, high-performance tool for any serious kitchen.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The welded handles are a standout – incredibly strong and  more hygienic than riveted alternatives.
  • Consideration: It’s a weighty pot even when empty, so be mindful of manual handling.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Mill Bistro in Aberystwyth recently upgraded its kitchen to include a new induction range but found their old aluminium stockpots were no longer compatible and  heated unevenly. They needed a reliable replacement that could keep up with their popular 'Soup of the Day' feature.

"The Bourgeat pot was an instant improvement. It gets up to temperature in a fraction of the time and  holds the heat so steadily. Our soups are more consistent, and  the sturdy build gives us real peace of mind during a hectic lunch service."

Gareth Evans – Proprietor

The bistro now prepares its daily soup batches 30% faster, freeing up valuable hob space and  chef time during crucial morning prep.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, give the pot a thorough wash with hot, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Ensure the pot's 28cm base is a good fit for your hob ring to maximise heating efficiency.
  • The pot is ready to use on any heat source straight out of the box – gas, electric, ceramic, or induction.

Keeping It Going

  • The pot is fully dishwasher and  utensil washer safe for simple, hygienic cleaning.
  • For any stubborn, burnt-on food, soak the pot in warm, soapy water before cleaning. Avoid harsh metal scourers.
  • To maintain its shine, use a quality stainless steel cleaner periodically.
  • Regularly check that the welded handles remain secure and  show no signs of stress, especially after heavy use.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Stockpot

Not sure which pot is your perfect partner for prep? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the right one for your kitchen.

Material Matters

Stainless steel, like in this professional stock pot 17.2L, is the industry standard for its durability, non-reactive surface (won't taint acidic sauces), and  ease of cleaning.

Base Construction

Look for a thick, sandwiched base. This ensures heat spreads evenly across the bottom, preventing hot spots that can scorch your food and  waste energy.

Handle with Care

Welded handles are generally stronger and  more hygienic than riveted ones, as there are no crevices for food and  water to get trapped in.

Size It Up

Consider your batch sizes. A 17.2-litre pot is fantastic for versatility, but ensure you have the hob space and  storage for it. It's better to have a little extra room than not enough!

Lid Logic

Do you need to reduce liquids or simmer slowly? Many professional pots, including this one, have lids sold separately so you only buy what you need.

How Induction-Ready Cookware Boosts Your Kitchen's Efficiency

Ever wondered what 'induction compatible' really means for your kitchen? Think of it like wireless charging for your cooking. Instead of a traditional hob heating up and then transferring that heat to the pan, an induction hob uses a magnetic field to generate heat directly in the base of the pot itself. The Bourgeat K771 stockpot has a special ferromagnetic base that allows this to happen.

The result? The pan heats up incredibly fast, and  you get almost instant control over temperature changes. Because the hob's surface doesn't get scorching hot, it's also a safer environment with fewer spills burning onto the surface. Ultimately, it means lower energy bills, a cooler kitchen, and  more precise, repeatable cooking results every single time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs & Restaurants: Perfect for simmering signature stocks and  sauces, forming the flavour base for your entire menu.
  • School & Care Home Kitchens: A robust, heavy duty stockpot for catering that can handle daily high-volume meal preparation with ease.
  • Hotel & Banqueting Chefs: Essential for producing consistent, large-scale soups and  broths for events and  multiple dining outlets.
  • Artisan Food Producers: Ideal for crafting batches of chutney, jam, or chilli, where even heating and  durability are key.
