SOGA 23L Commercial Stock Pot | 18/10 Stainless Steel

Sitting neatly between the 21L and 33L models, the SOGA 23L Stock Pot is the versatile mid-range choice for Australian restaurants and bistros that need a little more capacity without jumping to a larger size. Built from professional-grade 18/10 stainless steel with a heavy-duty sandwich base, it delivers consistent, even heat across all cooktop types — including induction.

Perfect For

• Medium-volume restaurants and bistros serving 45–55 covers per service
• Catering businesses needing a flexible, mid-range capacity pot
• Kitchens that want a step up from the 21L without committing to the 33L
• Hotels and function centres with regular batch cooking requirements
• Home chefs who cook large quantities for meal prep, freezing, or entertaining

Real-World Use Cases

A Melbourne restaurant running a 50-cover dinner service uses the 23L pot to produce a full batch of French onion soup base each morning. The heavy sandwich base keeps the heat low and even during the long caramelisation process — no burning, no stirring every two minutes. After service, it goes straight into the commercial dishwasher and is ready for the next day.
