Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 19-quart Stock Pot
The 19-quart Excellence pot is built on the wide 32 cm base, so it heats and reduces faster than a tall pot of similar capacity. It suits gallons of stock, a batch of chili for a festival or a seafood boil for a family reunion.The handles are welded and watertight for a secure lift when full, and the rim is reinforced for a clean pour. The 32 cm Excellence lid fits it, as well as the 13 1/2-quart sauce pot.
Choosing the Largest PotAt 19 quarts on a wide 32 cm base, this pot reduces faster than a tall pot of the same volume, which makes it suited to large-batch sauces as well as stock. It needs a large burner or a matching induction zone to heat evenly. If you need height more than width, the 18-quart stock pot is the taller, narrower choice for long-simmered stocks.

Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 13 1/2-quart Sauce Pot
The 13 1/2-quart sauce pot is a large-batch pot for caterers, restaurants and home cooks who put up sauce or stock in quantity. Its 32 cm base reduces liquid faster than a tall stock pot of the same volume.The base fuses an aluminum core between layers of 18/10 stainless steel, so a full pot holds a steady simmer without scorching. The matching lid is the 32 cm Excellence lid, and the 12 1/2-inch brasier takes the same lid.
For Caterers and Large HouseholdsA 13 1/2-quart pot is sized for the cook who makes stock once and freezes it in portions, or who cooks for events: a large batch of gumbo, a pot of mulled cider or a seafood stew for twelve. Its 32 cm base suits a large burner or an induction zone of matching size. The 12 1/2-inch brasier and the 19-quart stock pot share its lid. Learn More$268.00 -
Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 12 1/2-inch Brasier
The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 12 1/2-inch brasier is sized for grand-scale cooking, from braising a whole leg of lamb to simmering a cassoulet for a gathering.

The matching lid is the 32 cm Excellence lid, which also fits the 13 1/2-quart sauce pot and the 19-quart stock pot.
Holiday and Batch CookingThe 12 1/2-inch brasier is the pan for the meals that feed a table of eight or more: a braised brisket, coq au vin from two whole chickens, or a large pan of stuffed peppers baked in sauce. It is also useful for blanching and shocking vegetables in batches, since its width lets you lift them out quickly with a spider. Lift a full brasier with both handles and oven mitts; at this size it is heavy. Learn More$256.00
