EST Series Pro Heavy-Duty Stockpots
Ships Within 5 Business Days!
The Soy EST Series Stockpots are a class of products we could easily call "the Mothership";
Massive and beautiful, reflecting our passion at every hit of the hammer, from thick 2.5mm Solid Copper to ensure even heat distribution, finely hammered until the smallest edge, giving the product extreme hardness, with no dead angles thanks to round corners.
This Flagship product will literally dominate your kitchen and make all your chef colleagues pale from envy, especially when your stock will only take minutes to boil in this masterpiece.
The bigger sizes are as good for the professional while the first two are more or less home-sized, for the enthusiasts among us.
The product is ENTIRELY cold-forged by hand from a 2mm or 2.5mm solid copper sheet, and has no weldings or dead-corners, unlike its French, Italian or Belgian counterparts. NO machines are involved in the process.
The current Soy Handles are of our own patented Sand-Cast Solid Bronze, painstakingly filed by hand by our artisans that come from Jeweler backgrounds, and will basically last a lifetime.
They are mounted on the main body with 6 rivets each made of Solid White Copper and are extremely sturdy, but easily removable by us if maintenance is needed.
The alloy of bronze we use (the Soyactite) was developed in-house in 2012, is highly unlike our Western-European counterparts, who mostly use a very conductive alloy of brass or aluminium bronze whereas ours remains a very hard and refractory alloy, that has 5 x the performance of cast iron.
Tin Lining: Hand-Lined, lasts more than a few years, free lining offered yearly for lifetime if shipped back to the production facility. See warranty details with the actual product.
As is lined by hand, since the size and bulk of the product the tin coating can last a lifetime, if properly taken care of. Free retinning service offered for a lifetime, please see the conditions.

Silver is by far the most conductive metal on Earth. Copper is a close second! This is because silver and copper only have one valence electron, which is free to move around with little resistance. As a result, both copper and silver are fantastic electric and thermal conductors.
What it entails for cookware is that the heat coming from the heat source will not heat the cookware locally (from where the fire hits, typically a spot in the bottom) but wherever the heat source hits the silver / copper product from will not matter as the heat will travel all over the cookware including the walls and the lid to radiate the heat inside just like an oven would do it.
Practically that means that if the copper and silver are thick enough, no hot-spots can ever form on copper and silver cookware items, even on top of the highest BTU’s of industrial stoves, meaning the pan / pot will be naturally non-stick.
The absence of hot-spots due to perfect heat distribution will also come much in handy when cooking very sensible material that would burn rather quickly (finely chopped vegetables, rice dishes or butter for example) as one will not have to constantly stir, since all parts will be cooked equally – as opposed to inside a steel pan /pot, if not stirred heavily, one part will burn while another part will stay uncooked.
Use:
- Please contact us for use on induction
- Do not use your Soy in the microwave, copper & silver are metals after all!
- Do not use metal utensils or scratch your Soy as it will remove the platingHand-wash your Soy and do not put in the diswasher.
- * Use mild dishwashing soap and do not use metal sponges or the green side of the sponge
- Given the nature of the metal, both copper and silver will change color and tarnish as they get used & upon contact with air, water, and acidic ingredients.
- This is totally normal and doesn't affect cooking properties.
- They are still safe to use and there is no health risks.
- If you want to get them back to their original state, just rub your Soy with a lemon sliced in half, covered with table salt or baking soda.
- Rinse it with warm water, dry it and voila!
- As with cart-iron skillets, a light coating of oil before storing protects it over time.
- This method works on both copper and silver.
- You can also clean your Soy with ashes (cigarette ash, fireplace ash, etc.).You can also always use food-safe silver polish.
- We recommend brands like Hagerty or Goddard's.
- Please watch our video on how to clean your Soy products:
