The encapsulated aluminium core distributes heat evenly across the entire base, preventing hot spots and ensuring the onions caramelise consistently without burning. The 18/10 stainless steel construction handles the daily demands of a busy hotel kitchen without issue.

People Also Ask

What size stock pot do I need for 100 people?
For 80–100 covers, a 50L stock pot is the recommended size. For larger operations, consider the 71L (100–150 covers), 98L (150–200 covers), or 130L (200–250+ covers) models.

Is the SOGA 50L Stock Pot induction compatible?
Yes — the encapsulated aluminium core base makes it fully compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.

What is an encapsulated aluminium core base?
An encapsulated aluminium core base sandwiches a layer of aluminium between stainless steel layers. Aluminium conducts heat far more efficiently than stainless steel alone, resulting in faster, more even heating and better energy efficiency.
