Expert Review and  Insights

The moment you pick up the Bourgeat K790, you can feel the quality. It has a fantastic weight and  balance—not too heavy, but solid enough to feel completely stable on the hob. It heats incredibly evenly, which is crucial for simmering sauces without catching. This is the kind of pan that becomes an old friend in the kitchen.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →

  • Pro: The build quality is exceptional; the welded handles feel totally bomb-proof.
  • Con: Just remember the lid is a separate purchase, so factor that in.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Coastal Kitchen' in Whitby, North Yorkshire, recently upgraded their kitchen to an all-induction setup and  found their old aluminium stockpots were no longer compatible and  were warping under the intense heat.

"We needed a commercial casserole pan that could keep up with a relentless pace without failing. The Bourgeat K790 is an absolute tank – it heats up in a flash, cooks evenly, and  the handles feel completely secure, even with five litres of boiling stock inside. It's just a brilliant, reliable piece of kit."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

This simple switch completely solved their compatibility issues and  the superior heat distribution has led to more consistent cooking results across their menu.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • While incredibly tough, it's always best to avoid using harsh metal scourers to keep the interior surface in top condition.
  • Ensure your hob surface is clean and  flat before placing the pan on it to guarantee the best, most even heat contact.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean promptly after use to prevent food from baking on. For stubborn bits, soaking in warm water usually does the trick.
  • For any discolouration (a natural result of high heat), a little white vinegar or a specialist stainless steel cleaner will restore its shine.
  • Thanks to the water-tight handles, this pan is perfectly safe for a spin in your commercial dishwasher.
  • If stacking, consider using pan protectors between items to prevent scratches and  prolong its life.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Casserole Pan

Not sure which pan best fits your kitchen's needs? Here are a few key things to consider.

Size & Capacity

Match the pan's litre capacity to your typical batch sizes. This 5-litre pan is a versatile mid-size option, great for sauces and  stews. For large-volume stocks or soups, you might look at 10-litre models or bigger.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the undisputed king of professional kitchens. It's tough, non-reactive (so it won't taint acidic foods like tomato sauces), and  easy to clean, making it a sound investment.

Hob Compatibility

If you use induction, it is vital you choose an 'induction compatible' pan. This Bourgeat pan works on all heat sources, making it a future-proof choice for any kitchen setup.

Handle Construction

Look for welded handles over riveted ones. They are stronger, more hygienic, and  won't work loose over time. A 'stay-cool' feature is a valuable safety bonus for a busy environment.

Base Thickness

A thick, heavy-duty base is crucial for even heat distribution. It prevents 'hotspots' which can cause food to burn in one area while being undercooked in another.

What Customers Are Saying

"A proper kitchen workhorse. We bought two for our pub and  they're used daily for everything from curry sauces to mulled wine. Still look brand new after months of heavy use."

Gemma W. – The Plough Inn, Cotswolds

"Excellent quality pan. You can feel the difference in weight and  finish compared to cheaper brands. Heats up fast and  very evenly on our induction hob, which is exactly what we needed."

The Bourgeat Advantage: An Investment in Consistency

Choosing Matfer Bourgeat isn't just about buying a pan; it's about investing in decades of French culinary engineering. This isn't a piece of equipment that will let you down during the peak of service. The real value of the Bourgeat K790 stockpot goes far beyond its spec sheet. It lies in the day-to-day reliability—the absence of warping on an induction hob, the confidence of a handle that won't fail, and  the perfectly even heat that produces consistent results, dish after dish. For a professional kitchen, this consistency is currency. It reduces food wastage from scorching, saves staff time and  frustration, and  ultimately lowers your long-term costs by eliminating the need to constantly replace cheaper, inferior cookware. It's a foundational tool that allows your chefs to perform at their best.

Why Welded Handles Make a Real Difference

Ever notice how some pan handles are attached with little rivets on the inside? While common, those rivets can become grime traps and  may loosen over time. The Bourgeat K790 uses unbreakable welded handles, which is a far superior method for professional cookware. Think of it like this: rivets are like bolts holding a part on, whereas welding makes the handle and  the pan body into one solid piece. This seamless join is not only incredibly strong and  safe for carrying heavy loads, but it's also far more hygienic. There are no nooks or crannies for food particles or water to get trapped in, making cleaning quicker and  more effective.

    An essential for simmering signature sauces, soups, or stocks throughout a non-stop service.
