Product Description
This 3.4-litre aluminium saucepan features riveted handles and a reinforced rim for rapid heat transfer during banquet prep. Chefs use these pots to reduce stocks or simmer sauces in cramped pop-up kitchens where space matters. Available in bulk for large-scale catering operations.
- Events and uses
- Preparing sauces and reductions for high-end wedding banquet services.
- Heating batches of soup or gravy for large-scale corporate conference lunches.
- Managing multiple components of a menu simultaneously in a temporary pop-up kitchen.

- Setup and use
Position these pans on burner surfaces that match the base diameter to prevent heat loss and warping. Select burner rings that provide uniform heat across the aluminium surface to avoid hot spots.
