Expert Review and  Insights

The Bourgeat Excellence range is a staple in professional kitchens for a reason. This 24 litre stock pot feels incredibly well-built from the moment you pick it up. The weight is reassuring, and  the 'sandwich' base provides beautifully even heat, which is crucial for delicate stocks. It's a no-nonsense, high-performance piece of equipment that simply gets the job done.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The welded, watertight handles are a huge plus for hygiene and  long-term durability.
  • Con: The lid is sold separately, so you'll need to factor that into your budget.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Anchor & Compass', a bustling seaside pub in Whitby, needed to upgrade their cookware. Their existing stock pots were showing signs of wear, with warped bases causing uneven cooking on their induction hobs and  loose handles posing a safety risk during busy services.

"We can't afford to have equipment fail us mid-service. The Bourgeat pot is just completely solid. The heat is even, the handles are sturdy, and  it cleans up brilliantly. It’s one less thing to worry about when the orders are flying in."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

Since making the switch, the kitchen has seen a noticeable improvement in consistency, with simmering times for their famous fish stock reduced by an estimated 10% thanks to the pot's superior heat distribution.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the pot a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • While compatible with all heat sources, ensure the base is clean and  dry before placing it on a ceramic or induction hob.
  • To prolong its life, always add liquids or oils before you start heating the pot – never heat it when empty.

Keeping It Going

  • The pot is fully dishwasher-safe, making cleanup quick and  easy.
  • For any tough, burnt-on food, simply soak the pot in warm water and  a little washing-up liquid before cleaning.
  • Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scourers, as these can scratch the beautiful stainless steel finish.
  • When storing, try not to stack other heavy items inside it to prevent any accidental dings or dents.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Stock Pot

Not sure what to look for in a professional stock pot? We can help you pick the perfect one for your kitchen's needs.

Focus on the Base

A thick, 'sandwich' base (a layer of aluminium between stainless steel) is vital. It stops food from catching and  ensures heat spreads evenly, which is essential for perfect results on any hob, especially induction.

Handle the Handles

Look for welded handles, not riveted. They are stronger, more hygienic as there are no gaps for food to get trapped in, and  they won't work loose over time, making them far safer for carrying heavy loads.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the professional's choice for a reason. It's tough, non-reactive (so it won't affect the taste of acidic foods like tomato sauces), and  easy to clean, ensuring it lasts for years.

Check the Rim

A reinforced or rolled lip might seem like a small detail, but it adds significant strength to the pot's structure, preventing it from warping or becoming misshapen from knocks and  heavy use.

Lid Logic

Don't forget the lid! Many professional pots have lids sold separately. A well-fitting lid is crucial for controlling evaporation, speeding up boiling, and  simmering efficiently, saving you energy and  time.

A: The pot itself weighs 5.79kg, reflecting its heavy-duty construction.

More Than a Handle: Why Welded & Watertight Design Is a Must

Ever had a pot handle feel a bit wobbly? That's often because it's attached with rivets. Over time, those rivets can loosen, creating an unsafe grip and, worse, a tiny gap where water, grease, and  food particles get trapped. It’s a nightmare for kitchen hygiene. The Bourgeat pot solves this with unbreakable, fully welded handles.

Think of it like this: a riveted handle is like a picture hook nailed to a wall, whereas a welded handle is like a shelf that's part of the wall's structure itself. It’s permanently fused to the pot, creating a single, incredibly strong unit that won't loosen or break. The watertight design means there are absolutely no crevices for gunk to hide in, ensuring your cookware is as clean and  hygienic as it is strong. It's a small detail that makes a huge difference to safety and  cleanliness in a professional kitchen.
