Aluminum pots for the food service industry
Aluminum pots are widely used in the food service industry due to their excellent heat conductivity and light weight, and they support efficient workflows. The INTERGASTRO range of aluminum pots includes a wide variety of designs, ranging from small saucepan to large kettles, to meet the diverse needs of professional kitchens. Choosing the right pot depends on various factors, such as the type of food, the cooking method, and the required quantity.
Material and Workmanship
When selecting an aluminum pot, material thickness and workmanship play a key role in ensuring durability. A greater material thickness, such as in the Fasa Pentole models with up to 5 mm, ensures better heat retention and prevents warping. The INTERGASTRO portfolio includes both uncoated and non-stick coated aluminum pots, with the non-stick coating-as found on some Fasa Pentole pots-preventing food from sticking and making cleaning easier. The handles are typically made of stainless steel and are either riveted or welded, with riveted handles being particularly robust, as seen on Contacto’s soup pots. For special applications, INTERGASTRO also offers models such as fish kettles or tomato sauce pots, which are tailored to specific needs.
Designs and Applications
The various designs of aluminum pots from Fasa Pentole and Contacto offer solutions for virtually every application. Handled saucepans are ideal for preparing sauces and small quantities, while stock pots and roasting pans can be used for larger portions. For preparing large quantities of soups or broths, Contacto’s stock pots, with a capacity of up to 45 liters, are a practical choice. Pasta pots with special strainer inserts make draining pasta easier, and special tomato sauce pots are designed to meet the needs of sauce preparation. Thanks to its non-stick coating, the sauté pan is an excellent option for sautéing vegetables.
Efficiency and Handling
Aluminum pots contribute significantly to efficiency in the food service industry, as they heat up quickly and distribute heat evenly. The lightweight construction of the pots makes them easy to handle and reduces the physical strain on kitchen staff. Models such as the Fasa Pentole pasta pot with lid and strainer insert enable quick and clean work. After use, many aluminum pots are easy to clean, and some models are even dishwasher-safe, saving time and resources. INTERGASTRO offers comprehensive consulting to help select the right aluminum pots for every food service establishment, thereby optimizing kitchen processes.
