Cookware

Use this hub to select cookware that fits your burners, ovens, and daily pace. Choose stock and sauce pots for soups and reductions, fry and sauté pans for searing and finishing, and baking pans for sheet work, breads, and desserts. Specialty pieces like woks, paella pans, and poachers expand your menu without complicating the line. Compare materials and bases to match gas, electric, or induction, and select riveted or welded handles and rim styles that clean quickly and last. Build sets that standardize sizes across stations so lids and covers swap easily. Plan storage rails and racks by diameter and depth so crews can grab the right tool fast. To round out a reliable station, stock precise kitchen thermometers and timers, keep portioning smooth with durable kitchen utensils, and stage sturdy landing space with work tables and stations. Explore the subcategories below to build a consistent, service ready kit.
