Stockpot GREDIL 011365

A stockpot holds large batches of stock, soup or stew at an even simmer without scorching. The wide base spreads heat across the entire liquid surface, while the tall sides reduce evaporation and keep ingredients submerged. This method preserves flavour and prevents the bottom from catching, even when the pot is filled to capacity. The operator loads the pot with ingredients, sets it on the hob and brings the contents to a gentle boil. Once the liquid reaches temperature, the heat is lowered to maintain a steady simmer. The lid traps steam, which condenses and returns to the pot, minimising liquid loss. When cooking is complete, the pot is lifted by its handles and the contents are ladled or poured out. The pot is formed from satin-finish stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining. The base is constructed in multiple layers to distribute heat evenly and prevent hot spots. The upper rim is reinforced to withstand repeated lifting and stacking. Handles are fixed at several points to spread the load and remain cool enough to grip when the pot is hot. Controls are limited to the hob settings that regulate the heat source. The pot itself has no dials or switches; temperature is managed externally. A volume of 36.6 litres allows the preparation of large quantities in a single batch, reducing the need for multiple smaller pots. The dimensions of 360 mm diameter and 360 mm height fit standard professional hobs and storage shelves. The satin finish reduces reflections and fingerprints, making the pot easier to keep clean in a busy kitchen. The satin-finish stainless steel surface sheds food residue as soon as hot water touches it, letting you rinse the pot straight from the stove without scrubbing. Stainless steel can be scrubbed with non-abrasive pads and commercial detergents. The multi-layered base should not be exposed to sudden temperature changes, so the pot is cooled before washing. Handles and rim are wiped down with a damp cloth to remove residue. The pot is stored with the lid off to allow air circulation and prevent odours. This stockpot is part of the GREDIL professional satin-finish stainless steel cookware range.
