Crestware PAN10 Sauce Pan 10 qt 11 1/2 in Aluminum

10-quart aluminum sauce pan for commercial kitchens

This 10-quart sauce pan is built for high-volume cooking in professional kitchens, catering operations, and institutional food service. The straight-sided aluminum body provides a large cooking surface for soups, stocks, sauces, and bulk reheating. NSF certification confirms it meets public health standards for commercial food equipment. It is sized for heavy daily use rather than occasional home cooking.

Riveted steel handles and 2.5 mm gauge construction

The pan features a 2.5 mm thick aluminum body that resists warping under sustained heat. Riveted chrome-plated steel handles stay secure during frequent lifting and transport of full loads. The silver handle finish withstands repeated washing cycles. No cover is included, so users must source a compatible 11 1/2-inch lid separately for simmering or storage needs.

Aluminum construction limits oven and dishwasher use

The bare aluminum body is not oven safe and cannot be cleaned in a dishwasher, requiring hand washing to maintain the surface. Without a non-stick coating, foods high in starch or protein may adhere during prolonged cooking, demanding attentive stirring. The material reacts with acidic ingredients such as tomatoes, which can affect flavor and pan appearance over time.
