How to choose the right Boiling and Stock Pots

• Match pot capacity to your menu and service volume, from small bain marie pots to large stock pots for batch cooking.
• Decide between aluminium for fast, even heating and lighter weight, or stainless steel for maximum durability and presentation.
• Check pot diameter and height to suit your existing hobs, ranges and induction units, as well as storage space.
• Consider whether you need lids, double boiler options or bain marie inserts for sauces and delicate preparations.
• For high-output sites such as hotels or canteens, look at heavy-duty boiling pans with large litre capacities.
• Choose brands and constructions designed for intensive commercial use to reduce downtime and replacement costs.

Care and maintenance

• Allow pots to cool slightly before cleaning and avoid shocking hot metal with very cold water to prevent warping.
• Use non-abrasive pads and suitable detergents to protect aluminium and stainless steel surfaces from scratching.
• Soak stubborn residues rather than heavy scrubbing, and avoid metal utensils that can damage the interior.
• Check handles, rivets and lids regularly for looseness or wear, tightening or replacing parts as needed.
• Store pots nested carefully with protective layers where possible to prevent dents and surface damage.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on dishwasher use, especially for aluminium and any coated components.
