SOGA 21L Commercial Stock Pot | 18/10 Stainless Steel | 30cm

Step up your kitchen's capacity without sacrificing quality. The SOGA 21L Stock Pot is the go-to choice for medium-volume Australian restaurants and bistros that need reliable, consistent performance through every service. Built from premium 18/10 stainless steel with a heavy-duty encapsulated sandwich base, it delivers even heat across all cooktop types — including induction.

Perfect For

• Medium-volume restaurants and bistros serving 40–50 covers per service
• Catering businesses needing a step up from the 17L model
• Hotels and function centres with regular batch cooking requirements
• Home chefs who cook large quantities for meal prep, freezing, or entertaining
• Kitchens that need a reliable everyday stock and soup pot

Real-World Use Cases

A Melbourne bistro running a 50-cover dinner service relies on the 21L pot to produce enough chicken stock each morning to last the full service. At 30cm diameter, it sits comfortably on a commercial burner, and the encapsulated base means the stock simmers evenly without scorching — even on a busy induction cooktop. When service is done, it goes straight into the dishwasher.
