Expert Review and  Insights

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence range is a staple in professional kitchens for a reason. This 8.6-litre pot isn't flashy, but its performance is top-notch. The build quality is immediately obvious – it feels solid, heats evenly on an induction hob, and  the handles are a dream. It's a proper piece of kit designed for serious chefs.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →

  • Built like a tank: The unbreakable welded handles and  reinforced rim are genuinely impressive.
  • Lid's an extra: Just remember you'll need to order the compatible lid (K835) separately.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Drover's Arms, a popular pub in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, recently upgraded their kitchen to include a new induction cooktop. They quickly found their old aluminium pans were warping and  creating hot spots, ruining batches of their famous beef stew.

"We switched to the Bourgeat Excellence pans and  the difference was night and  day. They heat up so evenly on the induction, and  you can just feel the quality. They're absolute workhorses and  have made our prep far more consistent."

Ben Carter – Head Chef

The new pans completely eliminated inconsistent cooking, ensuring every single portion of stew served meets their high standards.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Always ensure the base of the pan is clean and  dry before placing it on any hob, especially glass or induction tops.
  • While built for high heat, it's good practice to heat the pan gradually rather than placing it empty on a max-heat setting.
  • Check the pan sits flat and  stable on your hob to ensure efficient and  even heating.

Keeping It Going

  • This pan is fully dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
  • For stubborn food, soak the pan in warm, soapy water rather than using harsh metal scourers which can scratch the surface.
  • Avoid storing the pan with salt or acidic foods in it for extended periods to maintain its pristine finish.
  • Dry the pan thoroughly before stacking to prevent water spots.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Stock Pot

Not sure which stock pot is the perfect match for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

A commercial stainless steel stock pot is the professional's choice. It’s tough, non-reactive with acidic foods, and  incredibly durable for long-term use.

Base Construction

Look for a thick, sandwich-style base, especially for an induction safe stock pot. This ensures heat spreads evenly, preventing food from catching and  burning.

Handle with Care

Welded handles, like those on the K791, offer superior strength and  hygiene compared to riveted ones, as there are no crevices to trap food or water.

Consider Capacity

Think about what you cook most. An 8.6-litre pot is a versatile all-rounder, great for sauces, soups, and  batch cooking without being too cumbersome.

Lid Logic

Does it come with a lid, or is it an extra? A lid is essential for simmering and  reducing evaporation, so factor this into your decision and  budget.

A: Yes, absolutely. It has a specially designed base that is fully compatible with all heat sources, including induction.

A: The total capacity of this pot is 8.6 litres, making it a great size for a large catering casserole pan.

Q: What are the exact dimensions?

Why Welded, Water-Tight Handles Are a Chef's Best Friend

Ever used a pan where the handles feel a bit wobbly, or noticed rusty water dripping out after it's been washed? That’s the classic problem with cheaper, riveted handles. Rivets create tiny gaps that trap food and  water, which is a real headache for hygiene. Matfer Bourgeat solves this with unbreakable, fully welded handles.

Think of it like this: a riveted handle is bolted on, whereas a welded handle is an integral part of the pan's body. There are no gaps, no seams, and  no weak points. This makes the handle incredibly strong and, crucially, completely water-tight. When you pull this pan from the dishwasher, it’s clean, dry, and  ready to go – with no nasty surprises. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to kitchen safety and  cleanliness.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for creating signature soups, stocks, and  sauces in reliable, repeatable batches for busy services.
  • School & University Caterers: A durable workhorse for large-scale production of pasta sauces, curries, and  chilli for hungry students.
  • Hotel Banqueting Teams: A dependable pot for preparing bulk vegetables, broths, and  components for large functions and  events.
  • Gastro Pubs: The ideal vessel for simmering hearty stews or a signature 'soup of the day' on the hob all day long.
