Why this boiling & stock pot earns its place
This Matfer Bourgeat boiling pan is built for serious volume work. It has a 320 mm diameter, a 208 mm height and a 17 litre capacity, with a gross weight of 5.54 kg, so it is a substantial piece of cookware rather than a lightweight general-purpose pot.
The manufacturer describes it as a robust heavy-duty design with a reinforced non-drip edge, an ultra thick bumper and a stay-cool water-tight handle. Those details matter in a working kitchen because they are about control, handling and spill management as much as raw capacity.
It can be used on any cooking surface, including induction, and it is dishwasher safe, which makes it easier to move through service and clean-down. Lids are sold separately, so the pan stands on its own and can be specified with the cover you need.
