Technical Details


French manufacturer Sitram produces commercial-grade, stainless-steel cookware for restaurant, hotel, and institutional kitchens worldwide--serious home cooks also use this cookware to advantage. On its Profiserie line's pot and pan bottoms, an aluminum disk sheathed in steel conducts heat rapidly and uniformly. Sitram cookware also goes safely into ovens and under broilers, and, designed to withstand rough treatment, its bright, shiny appearance lasts indefinitely. The bottoms don't warp, and this cookware is stain- and corrosion-resistant. And with no inside rivets to clean around, it scrubs up hygienically and painlessly. This is cookware for cooks who value heavy, bang-around durability over fancy design.

Known as a half-stockpot, this pot's capacity actually is about two-thirds of Sitram's full stockpot. It's big enough to simmer about 3 gallons of stock, soup, stew, or pasta sauce and roomy enough to poach two or chickens. Also use it when canning large amounts of fruit or vegetables. --Fred Brack


Sitram Profiserie 11.6 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Half Stockpot Customer Review


i have one requirement for a pot: it needs to fit my Aga stove. In other words, it should have a perfectly flat bottom and not be too tall to fit in the ovens. Since having the Aga installed several years ago, I had to replace the pots that didn't fit or work properly on the big flat plates that serve as burners.. All Sitram pots have a thick flat bottom which works perfectly on my stove. Since most of them are made for commercial use, they are extremely sturdy and come in many useful sizes. When I realized that one of my stockpots was too tall for my ovens, i got this pot, and it's perfect, since it's wide and low. This is a great pot for large batches of stew, soup, or stock. It cleans up nicely by hand or in the dishwasher, and a little stainless steel cleaner takes away any stains that do develop. My only (small) complaint is that the lids have to be purchased separately. As you may have guessed, I own several Sitram pots and pans and like them all. They're not expensive, either.
