Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 5 3/4-quart Sauce Pot
Matfer calls this pot a casserole: a two-handled pot of medium height, sized at 5 3/4 quarts for soups, stews, chili and braised beans for a family.The aluminum sandwich base keeps thick stews from catching on the bottom, and the welded handles leave no rivets inside the pot. The matching lid is the 24 cm Excellence lid, and the Excellence steamer insert fits it for steaming vegetables or dumplings.
A Pot for Everyday Soup and StewFive and three-quarter quarts holds soup or chili for four to six, with room left at the top to stir without spilling. The pot’s width means vegetables can be sweated in a single layer before the liquid goes in, which gives a deeper flavor than piling them into a narrow pot. Add the Excellence steamer insert and it becomes a steamer for dumplings, tamales or vegetables. Learn More$200.00 -
Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 9-quart Sauce Pot
A 9-quart pot covers a large batch of tomato sauce, a pot of chili for a party or blanching vegetables for the freezer. The Excellence sauce pot is wider than it is tall, which helps sauces reduce and makes stirring easier than in a narrow stock pot.Two welded, watertight handles stay cool to the touch, and the rim is reinforced for pouring. The matching lid is the 28 cm Excellence lid.
Reducing a Large BatchWidth speeds reduction. A tomato sauce cooked down in this 28 cm pot thickens faster and more evenly than the same volume in a tall pot, because more of the surface is exposed. That makes the 9-quart pot useful for canning season, for a large batch of Bolognese to freeze, or for a pot of beans that needs to cook down to a thick liquor. Learn More$203.00 -
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
