Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a popular seafood bistro in Padstow, Cornwall, needed to upgrade their cookware to keep up with demand for their famous chowder. Their existing pots were struggling with hot spots on their new induction cooktop.

"The Bourgeat stockpot has been brilliant. The heat is perfectly even, meaning no more catching on the bottom. We get a consistent, beautiful result with every single batch, and  it has made service so much smoother for the team."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

The bistro now produces 30% more chowder during peak season with greater consistency and  less waste.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, wash the stockpot thoroughly with hot, soapy water and  rinse well.
  • Confirm the pot sits flat and  stable on your chosen hob surface.
  • For induction hobs, ensure the base is clean and  dry for optimal magnetic connection.
  • Familiarise staff with the weight of the pot, especially when full, to ensure safe handling.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the pot to cool before immersing it in cold water to prevent thermal shock.
  • Use non-abrasive cloths or sponges to clean the interior and  exterior surfaces.
  • For stubborn food deposits, soak with a mixture of water and  vinegar before washing.
  • Dry the pot completely after washing to prevent water spots and  maintain its polished finish.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Stockpot

Not sure which pot is right for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a large stainless steel stockpot for commercial use.

1. Consider Your Capacity

Match the pot's volume to your typical batch size. A 36-litre pot is great for large-scale production, but a smaller kitchen might find a 20-litre pot more manageable.

2. Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It's non-reactive with acidic foods, incredibly durable, and  provides good, even heating to prevent scorching.

3. Check Hob Compatibility

Ensure the pot works with your existing setup. An 'induction-ready' base offers the most flexibility, as it works on gas, electric, and  induction hobs.

4. Handle with Care

Look for welded, stay-cool handles. They are more hygienic than riveted handles (no internal crevices) and  safer to move during a busy service.

5. Base Construction

A thick, heavy-duty 'sandwich' base is crucial for preventing warping and  ensuring heat spreads evenly across the entire surface, eliminating hot spots.

Why Welded Handles Make a Real Difference

Ever wondered why professional pots often have welded handles instead of the riveted ones common in domestic cookware? It's all about hygiene and  durability. Rivets create tiny crevices on the inside of the pot where food particles and  bacteria can get trapped, making them difficult to clean thoroughly. The Bourgeat Excellence K773 stockpot features handles that are welded directly to the exterior. Think of it like a perfectly smooth, uninterrupted interior surface. This eliminates those hard-to-reach spots, making cleaning faster and  ensuring your kitchen meets the highest hygiene standards. It’s a small detail that has a huge impact on food safety and  operational efficiency.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Gastropubs: Ideal for preparing signature soups, stocks, and  chilli in bulk for a busy service.
  • Schools & Hospitals: Perfect for institutional catering where large, consistent batches are an everyday requirement.
  • Event Caterers: A reliable and  portable solution for producing high volumes of food at off-site events.
  • Food Production Kitchens: An essential tool for prepping base sauces and  ingredients for packaged meals.
