Restaurant Cookware Quick Reference

Explore By Metal Type

Carbon Steel Cookware

This extremely durable metal is lighter than cast iron, distributes heat evenly, and heats/cools down quicker than cast iron. Carbon steel cookware works on stove tops, in ovens, under broilers, and even on grills or open flames. Its ability to handle high heat and easy-to-clean surface makes carbon steel cookware a versatile tool any chef will enjoy.

Stainless Steel Cookware

Our high-quality stainless-steel cookware offers endless versatility for your commercial kitchen. Stainless steel offers superior temperatures control and is nonreactive when cooking acidic foods such as vinegar and tomato-based sauces.

Stainless-steel cookware metal excels at searing, simmering, roasting, stir frying, caramelizing, uniform browning, and creating sauces. Don’t forget to preheat!

Cast Iron Cookware

Cast iron cookware can handle very high temperatures and works beautifully on the stove top, in the oven, on a grill, or over an open flame. Cast iron takes longer to heat up, however it maintains surface temperatures even when searing thick slices of meat.

When properly seasoned and maintained, cast iron also boasts a natural non-stick surface. This metal is ideal for deep frying, roasting, baking, and an array of other techniques.

Tri-Ply Cookware

Tri-ply commercial cookware is stainless steel elevated by an aluminum core, combining the cooking benefits of both metals. The aluminum core improves heat distribution for an even cook every time. Use it on your commercial stove top, in the oven, or under the broiler.

Copper Cookware

Known for its shiny glow and beautiful color, copper cookware is a must-have for every chic commercial kitchen. Aside from its timeless aesthetic appeal, copper cookware heats evenly and quickly.

Restaurants and bakeries leverage the thermal sensitivity of copper to cook sugars and chocolates where holding precise temperatures are critical. Copper is an essential piece of cookware for commercial bakeries.

Paella Pans

Our assortment of these beloved pans includes carbon steel construction, which is the preferred metal of many paella enthusiasts, as well as stainless steel, and aluminum. Paella pans are larger than your average frying pan and prepare rice perfectly because of their low, wide shape.

Commercial kitchens benefit from paella pans because they have creative uses well past their namesake, often doubling as a griddle, skillet, or roasting pan.
