Stalgast 280 mm Stainless Steel Cooking Pot with Lid, 15.4 L

A cooking pot transfers heat from the hob to the food through its base and walls, raising the temperature evenly so that ingredients cook at the same rate. The tall shape concentrates steam inside, which circulates back into the liquid, keeping moisture in and reducing evaporation. This method suits slow simmering, braising and boiling large volumes without scorching or hot spots. The operator places the pot on a compatible hob, fills it with ingredients, and covers it with the lid. Heat from the hob conducts through the encapsulated base into the liquid, while the walls distribute warmth evenly. The lid traps steam, which condenses on the cooler inner surface and drips back, maintaining a steady temperature and moisture level. Once cooking is complete, the pot is removed from the heat and the contents are served or transferred. The pot is constructed from stainless steel with a satin finish, chosen for resistance to corrosion and staining. The base is a multilayer encapsulated design that spreads heat quickly and evenly across the cooking surface. Steel handles are welded at multiple points for strength and positioned to stay cooler during use. Controls are limited to the hob settings, which regulate the heat output. The pot itself has no dials or switches; the operator adjusts the hob to achieve the desired temperature. A 15.4 litre volume allows bulk preparation of stocks, soups or stews without overfilling. The 280 mm diameter fits standard professional hobs and induction zones, while the 250 mm height provides clearance for stirring and layering ingredients. The weight of the pot, combined with its sturdy handles, makes it stable on the hob and easy to lift when full. The satin-finished stainless steel resists stains and wipes clean with a damp cloth after simmering stocks or blanching vegetables. Stainless steel with a satin finish resists stains and scratches, and the pot is dishwasher-safe. The encapsulated base and welded handles have no crevices where food can lodge, so manual cleaning is straightforward with standard kitchen detergents. The pot is compatible with gas, electric, ceramic and induction hobs, broadening its use across different kitchen setups. This model is listed in the Stalgast professional cookware catalogue under tall pots.
