Types of cookware for commercial kitchens ▾

Frying pans ▾

Ideal for high heat cooking, searing and fast service. Choose non stick for delicate foods or stainless steel for better browning.

Saucepans and sauce pots ▾

For sauces, reductions, reheating and smaller batch cooking. A professional saucepan set supports fast prep and consistent portions.

Stockpots ▾

Essential for soups, stews, pasta, stock and bulk boiling. A large commercial stockpot is a core item in most catering kitchens.

Sauté pans ▾

Great for shallow frying, finishing sauces and one pan dishes. Wider base improves heat distribution for service speed.

Casserole pots and dutch ovens ▾

Perfect for slow cooking, braising and bulk menu items. Ideal for pubs and restaurants serving stews, casseroles and roasted dishes.

Roasting trays and bakeware ▾

Heavy duty roasting trays and ovenware for prep and service. Choose sizes to match your oven capacity and menu volume.

How to choose the right cookware ▾

Induction compatibility ▾

If you use induction hobs, choose induction compatible pans with a suitable base for efficient heat transfer and consistent performance.

Material choice ▾

Stainless steel is durable and great for browning. Aluminium heats quickly. Non stick supports delicate cooking and fast cleaning. Tri ply balances speed and control.

Size and capacity ▾

Choose cookware sizes to match your menu and output. Larger stockpots support bulk boiling and soups, while smaller pans handle sauces and plating.

Non stick vs stainless steel ▾

Many kitchens run both. Use non stick for eggs and delicate fish. Use stainless steel for searing and sauces where browning adds flavour.

Cookware care and maintenance ▾

Cleaning and daily handling ▾

Allow pans to cool before washing. Use suitable detergents and avoid harsh tools on non stick coatings to extend pan life.

Non stick care ▾

Use silicone or wooden utensils, avoid overheating empty pans, and store carefully to reduce scratches and extend coating performance.

Stainless steel and aluminium maintenance ▾

For stainless steel pans, preheat correctly and use enough oil for best results. Remove stubborn marks with suitable cleaners rather than aggressive scraping.
