Deep and Wide!
This braiser has ample space for large family dinner than a usual pot, it makes it easier to stir and scoop food out of the pot. Not just a braiser, it is excellent for deep frying large meat. This Professionale 4000 heats fast, evenly distribute heat and retention is excellent. It is lightweight, less maintenance and made in Italy! What else to ask for this great product, well-priced, and the workhorse in the kitchen, great restaurant quality. This is a larger than regular pot, therefore hand washing is highly recommended, just soak in water and soap to remove food residue for better daily cooking.

Perfect for family dinners or one-pot meals. I like that it is low and wide, not tall and deep.
Somehow gives more surface area for heating, cooking and simmering. These come in a variety of sizes, so if this is not quite right, another will be. This is the smaller size, but will still feed a family for Sunday dinner, in the way of chili, stews, casseroles, pastas with sauces, meats with potatoes and veggies and more. The nice thick aluminum means heats well and evenly and retains the heat for some time, even if you want to serve on the table.

This pan is perfect for big family dinners with a little bit of leftovers. The pan is made with thick aluminum construction, perfect heat distribution and retention and no hot spots.
The pan stays flat and will not bulge even on high heat. Pan will go into oven up to 600F - that is hot. Double handles are extremely helpful when it comes to a heavy meal.

A wide pot!
This is wide pot, perfect for oversize cooking for holiday dinner. It is excellent braising large meat and excellent for browning. This pot heats quickly but with the 5mm thick aluminum construction, heat is evenly distributed on the pan and retains the right temperature for better cooking. This is a lightweight braiser, and easy to wash.

This is a generous size that lends itself to all manner of cooking methods. I use it for large batches of stocks and bone broths. It is thick and made of aluminum which is one of the best conductors of heat. You can get this up to temprature and then simmer away for hours without having to mind the pot, as they say, every few minutes.

Industrial braiser
This made in Italy braiser heats up well and evenly for perfect browning and braising. It’s lightweight, which is nice if you are making a lot of food in the braiser. The pure aluminum body does a nice job retaining the heat and avoiding warping and hot spots. Restaurant quality cookware you can use right in your home kitchen.

Family Sized
Almost 8 1/2 qts, it's the perfect size for a big family dinner. It is constructed from very thick aluminum which heats up quickly and is a great heat conductor. The wide base allows for plenty of room to brown lots of meat. It's an excellent pan for all of those amazing one-pot meals. Love that it's made in Italy!
