Stalgast 320 mm Stockpot with Lid – 25.7 Litre Professional Cooking Pot

A stockpot holds large volumes of liquid for simmering stocks, soups, broths and blanching. The tall, straight sides and wide base create a deep column of liquid that transfers heat evenly from the hob to the contents. A heavy encapsulated base spreads the heat across the entire bottom, preventing hot spots that can scorch or boil over. The lid traps steam, raising the temperature inside and speeding up cooking while keeping the liquid from evaporating too quickly.

To use the pot, place it on a compatible hob—gas, electric, ceramic or induction—and fill it with the ingredients. The multi-layer base conducts the heat from the hob into the liquid, warming it gradually and uniformly. The operator sets the heat level to maintain a steady simmer, watching the contents through the lid's steam vent. Once the cooking is complete, the pot is lifted by its welded steel handles, which stay cooler than the body, and the contents are ladled or poured out.

The pot is constructed from stainless steel with a satin finish, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining. The base is encapsulated with additional layers of metal to improve heat conduction and stability. The handles are welded at multiple points for strength and are angled to keep the operator's hands away from the heat. The lid fits tightly to retain steam and heat.

The 320 mm diameter and 320 mm height give a 25.7 litre capacity, which determines how much liquid or food the pot can hold at once. The size is large enough for bulk preparation but still fits on standard hobs and in commercial sinks. The weight of the pot, combined with its sturdy construction, keeps it stable on the hob during stirring or simmering.

Cleaning is straightforward: the stainless steel surface resists sticking and discolouration, and the pot is dishwasher-safe. The satin finish hides minor scratches and fingerprints, reducing the need for frequent polishing. The welded handles and encapsulated base have no crevices where food or grease can collect, making hand-washing quick and thorough.

The pot is designed for professional kitchens and intensive use, with materials and construction that withstand daily heating, cooling and cleaning cycles without warping or degrading.
