SOGA 32L Commercial Stock Pot | 18/10 Stainless Steel

The SOGA 32L Stock Pot is the reliable workhorse for high-volume Australian restaurant and catering kitchens. Built from premium 18/10 stainless steel with extra-thick walls and a heavy-duty sandwich base, it delivers superior heat distribution and long-lasting durability — whether you're simmering stocks all day or blanching vegetables at pace during a busy service.

Perfect For

• High-volume restaurants and hotels serving 55–75 covers per service
• Catering businesses producing large batches of stock, soup, or sauces
• Institutional kitchens — schools, hospitals, and aged care facilities
• Function centres and event kitchens with regular bulk cooking requirements
• Kitchens looking for a capacity between the 23L and 33L models

Real-World Use Cases

A Brisbane hotel kitchen producing lamb stock for a 65-cover dinner service fills the 32L pot at the start of the day and lets it reduce slowly over 5 hours. The extra-thick walls retain heat efficiently, reducing energy consumption during long simmers. The induction-compatible base means it works seamlessly on the kitchen's commercial induction range — no adapters, no fuss.
