Paderno Grand Gourmet 10.5 qt. Stainless Steel Stock Pot

The Professional’s Workhorse: Flawless Heat, Lifetime Durability.

In the world of high-stakes culinary preparation, your equipment is the difference between a perfectly clarified consommé and a scorched disaster. The Paderno Grand Gourmet 10.5 qt. Stock Pot is the industry standard for chefs who demand absolute thermal control. Engineered in Italy, this pot is specifically designed for the delicate task of simmering rich stocks, hearty stews, and large-batch grains without the risk of bottom-scorching.

Engineered for Thermal Precision

The heart of this pot is its signature tri-ply sandwich base. By encapsulating a thick, heat-radiating aluminum core between two layers of heavy-gauge 18/10 stainless steel, Paderno ensures that heat is distributed uniformly across the entire cooking surface. This eliminates the 'hot spots' common in thinner cookware, allowing for consistent, low-and-slow simmering that extracts maximum flavor from bones and aromatics.

Built for the Professional Lifecycle

Crafted from heavy-duty 18/10 stainless steel, the Grand Gourmet series is non-reactive and highly resistant to the corrosive acids found in tomatoes and wine-based reductions. The ergonomic hollow handles are securely welded to the body—not riveted—eliminating food traps and ensuring a hygienic, sturdy grip that remains cooler to the touch during extended stovetop use. Whether you are deglazing on a high-BTU gas range or utilizing the efficiency of induction, this pot delivers uncompromising performance.
