Judge 24cm Stockpot, 7.8L - Black | JH45

A 24cm Judge Essentials Enamel stockpot with a 7.8 litre capacity, an enamelled black exterior and a non-stick Teflon interior, oven safe up to 240°C on any hob including induction.

The Judge JH45 is a 24cm stockpot from the Essentials Enamel range, built with a carbon steel body under a hardwearing black enamel exterior and a non-stick Teflon interior. At 7.8 litres, it suits stocks, soups and stews for a family, and an all-round stainless steel pouring lip makes decanting liquid straightforward without a separate jug.

The standout figure is the oven-safe rating: Judge states this stockpot is safe to 240°C, high enough for a hot grill finish or a hot oven without hesitation. It's compatible with every hob type including induction, and the whole pot is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup after a long simmer.

Ideal for

Stocks and stews

At 7.8 litres, it's sized for stocks, soups and stews for a family, with a pouring lip that makes decanting liquid straightforward once cooking is done.

Oven-to-hob cooks

An oven-safe rating of 240°C covers grill finishes and hot ovens comfortably, giving real flexibility to cooks who move a pot between hob and oven mid-recipe.

Induction kitchens

Confirmed compatible with induction as well as gas, halogen, ceramic, solid plate and electric hobs, so it works whatever the kitchen already has installed, today or later.

Key features

7.8 litre capacity

Sized for stocks, soups and stews for a family, without needing a second, larger pot for occasional bigger batches too.

240°C oven safe

A notably high oven-safe rating for a stockpot of this size, covering grill finishes and hot ovens without hesitation at all.

Enamel exterior, black finish

A hardwearing enamelled coating over a carbon steel body, finished in a solid black rather than plain stainless steel underneath.

Non-stick Teflon interior

Designed for easier food release and cleaning inside a stockpot that's otherwise built tough for heavy-duty stovetop use, day after day.

All-round pouring lip

A stainless steel pouring lip runs around the rim, making it easier to decant stock or sauce without a jug.

Dishwasher safe

The whole stockpot is dishwasher safe, so a heavy stock-making session doesn't mean extended hand-washing at the sink once dinner's done.

More to know

Enamel where stainless is usual

Where a lot of stockpots default to plain stainless steel, the JH45 takes a different route: a carbon steel body under a hardwearing black enamel exterior. That coating brings a solid black finish to the hob rather than brushed metal, and Judge pairs it with a non-stick Teflon interior, so the inside behaves like a non-stick pan even though the outside is enamelled rather than polished steel. It's a genuinely different construction, not just a different colour.

A genuinely high oven-safe rating

240°C is a high figure for a piece of cookware with a non-stick interior, and it opens up real flexibility: a stew can go from a simmer on the hob to a hot oven to finish, or under a grill to brown a topping, without worrying about the coating. Judge states this rating specifically for the JH45's enamel and Teflon construction, and pairs it with dishwasher-safe cleanup, so the practical side of owning it stays simple even though the cooking side is more capable.

Built to handle a full family pot

At 7.8 litres and 24cm across, the JH45 is sized for stocks, soups and stews cooked in real quantities rather than a single portion, with enough headroom for a big batch of soup to freeze in portions afterwards. The all-round stainless steel pouring lip makes decanting liquid straightforward once it's ready, without needing a separate jug, and the whole pot goes straight into the dishwasher once cooking is done. It's a stockpot built around batch cooking, not a smaller pan pressed into a bigger job.
