Types of Cookware
Any well functioning restaurant needs a variety of cookware to create delicious sauces,
casseroles, and sauteed vegetables. There are many cookware options for whatever your
cooking needs may be.
Wok
Feature flat bottoms, or round bottoms for high heat concentration. Round bottom
woks require a wok ring to sit on a standard burner
Ideal for stir frying or wok applications
Deep curved sides promote excellent food movement
Mandarin woks feature a single standard handle while Cantonese woks feature two
loop handles
Tapered Sauce Pan
Small bottom diameter for less heat exposure
Flared sides allow for good stirring action
Ideal for cooking at lower temperatures for a longer time
Straight Sided Sauce Pan
Wide bottom area for maximum heat conduction
Ideal for creating and reducing sauces and cooking vegetables
Use with a lid to control evaporation and accelerate cooking
Brazier / Rondo Pot
Wide heating surface allows the cooking of meats and vegetables in limited amounts
of liquid
Ideal for long, slow cooking which allows the liquid to add juices and flavor
Also used as a hot bath in conjunction with tapered sauce pans for melting butters,
heating sauces or for blanching vegetables
Sauce Pot
Wide bottom area for maximum heat conduction
Ideal for slow cooking stews, sauces, soups, casseroles and roasts while reducing the
content
Two loop handles for easier pouring and movement
Stock Pot

Smaller diameter and taller height of pot preserves liquids longer and forces the
liquid to bubble up through the ingredients, maximizing flavor transfer
Steam baskets are often used in stock pots to cook food with steam

transportation
Heavy duty construction and large size accommodates roasts, hams, and turkeys
Paella Pan

for the toasting of rice in the bottom of the pan
