Overview
KITALWARE Stainless Steel Cazo Pans are traditional-style deep cooking vessels that bring authentic Latin American culinary techniques into a modern, food-safe material format. Inspired by the classic hammered copper cazo, each pan features a deep-drawn 304 stainless steel body with a wide base and tall sides optimised for slow-rendering meats, simmering beans, reducing sauces and preparing large-batch communal dishes.
The collection spans seven capacity increments from a compact Ø320 × H200 mm (ideal for small-batch sauce work) up to an impressive Ø600 × H320 mm (capable of holding full-sized pork shoulders or whole poultry). Every size ships with a solid riveted handle available in 800 mm or 1000 mm lengths depending on diameter, ensuring safe lifting even when the pan is fully loaded with hot liquid. As a direct manufacturer, KITALWARE supplies these pans at factory-direct prices with OEM branding and custom capacity options available.
Key Features
- Seven size options from 3.8L to 90+ L — covers everything from sauce reduction to whole-animal batch cooking
- Deep-drawn 304 stainless steel body — seamless construction eliminates welded-base failure points common in cheaper pots
- Solid riveted handle — heavy-duty handle attached through rivet holes; will not unscrew like threaded alternatives
- Two handle length options — 800 mm (Ø320–400) and 1000 mm (Ø450–600) matched to pot diameter for balanced leverage
- Flat-bottom design — compatible with gas, electric, induction and open-flame cooking surfaces
- — retains heat effectively for long simmers while resisting denting under commercial use

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can these cazos be used over an open wood or charcoal fire?
A: Yes — the thick-gauge 304 stainless steel body tolerates direct flame contact without warping. However, prolonged exposure to concentrated flame directly beneath the centre of the base may cause localized discoloration. For best appearance when using open fire, rotate the cazo periodically or use a heat diffuser grate.
Q: What is the actual capacity in litres for each size?
A: Approximate filled-to-brim capacities: 270101 (~4L), 270102 (~6L), 270103 (~9L), 270104 (~14L), 270105 (~20L), 270106 (~28L), 270107 (~38L). These assume filling to approximately 80% of rim height for safe handling during cooking.
Q: Are replacement handles available if one gets damaged?
A: Yes — replacement handles are stocked for all seven sizes. Because handles are riveted rather than threaded, professional workshop tools are recommended for handle replacement. Contact sales with your item number for replacement parts pricing.
Q: How does the stainless steel version compare to traditional copper cazos?
A: Stainless steel offers superior durability, lower maintenance (no re-tinning required) and compatibility with acidic ingredients (tomatillos, lime, vinegar) that would react with unlined copper. The trade-off is slightly slower thermal response compared to copper, which most chefs compensate for by pre-heating before adding ingredients.
