  • Lid Not Included: The compatible lid (K837) is an essential extra purchase.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Northern Ladle', a popular bistro in Leeds, needed to upgrade their cookware after installing a new induction kitchen. Their existing aluminium stock pots weren't compatible and  suffered from hot spots, leading to inconsistent results for their signature dishes.

"The Bourgeat Excellence pot was a revelation. The heat is so even on our induction hob, and  the build quality is just fantastic. It simmers our broths perfectly every single time, which is crucial for our menu's quality. It’s a proper piece of kit."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

By switching to the Bourgeat K793, the kitchen has eliminated scorching and  can now leave stocks to simmer with minimal supervision, increasing overall kitchen efficiency by an estimated 15%.

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 place the pan centrally on your chosen hob ring for the most even heat distribution.
  • When using on induction, start with a medium heat setting to allow the pan to warm up gradually.

Keeping It Going

  • Although dishwasher safe, handwashing can prolong the life of any high-quality cookware.
  • Avoid using steel wool or harsh abrasive cleaners which can scratch the stainless steel surface.
  • Allow the pan to cool down before submerging it in cold water to prevent thermal shock, which can cause warping.
  • Store in a dry place to maintain its pristine finish and  ensure it's always ready for service.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Stock Pot

Not sure which pot is the perfect partner for your kitchen? Let's break down what to look for.

Capacity is King

Match the pot's volume to your typical batch size. An 18-20 litre pot is a versatile choice for most restaurants, ideal for daily stocks, soups, and  sauces.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It's non-reactive (so it won't affect flavours), extremely durable, and  easy to keep hygienically clean.

Heat Source Hero

If you use induction hobs, or plan to in the future, checking for induction compatibility is non-negotiable. It ensures your investment remains useful.

Handle with Care

Look for handles that are welded, not riveted. They're stronger, more hygienic, and  features like a 'stay-cool' design are a major bonus for safety.

The Base Line

A thick, heavy-duty 'sandwich' base is crucial. It spreads heat evenly across the entire surface, preventing scorching and  ensuring consistent cooking.

Why Welded Handles Make a Real Difference

You might see 'welded handles' and not think much of it, but in a busy kitchen, it's a crucial detail for hygiene and  durability. Many pans use rivets to attach handles, which leaves tiny gaps and  seams on the inside of the pan. Over time, these crevices trap food particles and  moisture, making them difficult to clean properly and  creating potential hygiene risks.

The Bourgeat Excellence pan, however, has handles that are smoothly welded to the exterior. Think of it like a perfectly seamless joint. There are absolutely no gaps on the inside for food to hide, making it incredibly easy to scrub clean. The 'water-tight' design also means water from the dishwasher can't get inside the hollow handles, preventing hidden rust and  corrosion. It’s a small design choice that has a huge impact on the pan's longevity and  food safety.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for preparing daily soups, stocks, and  large-batch sauces with consistent results.
  • Event Caterers: A robust and  reliable pot for prepping large quantities of food off-site or in pop-up kitchens.
  • School & Hospital Canteens: Ideal for its large capacity and  durable, hygienic stainless steel construction for public sector catering.
  • Culinary Schools: A perfect example of a professional stock pot for teaching students about high-quality, industry-standard cookware.
