Three-Layer Stainless Steel Color Cookware Pot with Glass Lid | Buffet & Restaurant Cookware S2813

The S2813 series is a three-layer stainless steel color cookware pot with a tempered glass lid, finished in six colors and made in three sizes from Φ200 to Φ280 mm. It is built for buffet lines and restaurant pass-through service, where the same pot has to look good under a heat lamp and survive daily commercial washing.

What This Color Cookware Range Solves

Standard hotel pots are made to be hidden in a kitchen; when they come out onto a buffet they look industrial and the lid fogs over the food. The S2813 series was designed for the opposite job: a colored exterior that stays presentable under display lighting, a clear lid so guests see the dish without lifting it, and a steel body that takes the knocks of a service line.

• Six display colors. Blue, green, red, yellow, black and silver finishes to match a buffet theme or brand color.
• Three-layer steel body. Even heating across the base with no hot spots that scorch sauces during long service.
• See-through lid. Tempered glass keeps heat and moisture in while guests and chefs check the dish at a glance.

Three-Layer Body, Even Heating

The pot walls are built from three bonded layers of stainless steel, so heat spreads across the full base and lower wall instead of pooling under the center. That matters on a buffet, where pots sit on induction or warming zones for hours: food at the edge stays as cooked as food in the middle, and thin sauces do not catch. The exterior coating is rust resistant and scratch resistant, and both side handles are stainless steel rated for hot handling with service gloves.

A Removable Ceramic Inner Pot

Inside the steel body sits a removable ceramic inner pot. Kitchen staff lift the inner out for cleaning or for changing dishes without moving the whole hot pot, and the ceramic surface releases starchy dishes cleanly, which cuts reset time between buffet rounds.

Three Sizes for One Buffet Line

The three diameters stack into a complete service set: the small pot for sauces and condiments, the medium for vegetables and noodles, and the large for soups and show dishes. Mixed colors let a chef code stations at a glance, for example red for spicy, green for vegetarian.

On the Buffet Line

Under a heat lamp gantry, the colored body keeps its look through a full dinner service, and the glass lid can be propped open for guest-facing show cooking. The scene below shows two pots working a induction warming base in a hotel buffet, the setup this series was designed around.

Customization and Lead Time

Color, logo and packaging can be customized, and mixed-size or mixed-color sets ship together for a full buffet line. As a manufacturer, we support OEM and ODM projects from a single sample order to wholesale volumes; production runs 30 to 45 days for large orders with shorter lead times for small quantities.
