Product Overview
Getting that perfect, paper-thin crepe every time starts with having the right tool for the job. Meet the Matfer Bourgeat CX537, a specialist commercial crepe pan designed for the fast-paced professional kitchen. Forget struggling with domestic pans that can't keep up; this one is built for performance, delivering consistent results from the first crepe of the day to the very last.

The riveted steel handle offers a secure grip for that all-important flip, while its clever epoxy coating helps it stay cooler to the touch.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Crêpe Escape," a bustling dessert kiosk in Bath, was struggling with inconsistent crepe sizes and cooking times using generic pans. They needed a professional solution that could handle high-volume service without faltering, leading them to the Matfer Bourgeat CX537.
"Honestly, this little pan has streamlined our entire process. Every crepe is the same size, cooks in the same amount of time, and the non-stick is a dream. It’s made our dessert service so much quicker and more professional."
Samuel Jones – Owner
The result? The kiosk successfully reduced its average order time by over a minute, increasing customer throughput by nearly 25% during peak weekend hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
- Lightly 'season' the pan by wiping a thin layer of cooking oil onto the non-stick surface.
- Heat it gently for a minute or two on the hob, then allow it to cool and wipe away any excess oil.
- Always ensure your hob surface is clean and level to promote even heat distribution.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the aluminium non-stick crepe pan surface, always use silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils.
- Avoid metal scourers or harsh abrasive cleaners; a soft cloth or sponge is all you need.
- Allow the pan to cool down completely before washing to prevent thermal shock, which can warp the pan.
- Hand-washing is strongly recommended as harsh dishwasher detergents can degrade the non-stick coating over time.

The Matfer Bourgeat Promise: Consistency in Every Flip
When you invest in a Matfer Bourgeat product, you're buying more than just a pan; you're tapping into a legacy of French culinary excellence. For decades, this brand has been the silent partner in patisseries and professional kitchens across the globe, trusted for its uncompromising quality and durability. This isn't a disposable pan you'll replace next season. It’s an investment in consistency. The superior heat conduction of the high-grade aluminium minimises waste from burnt or unevenly cooked crepes, which directly impacts your food costs and boosts your service efficiency. Choosing this commercial crepe pan means putting your trust in equipment engineered to perform reliably, shift after shift, helping you deliver a perfect product to your customers every single time.
Why an Epoxy Coated Handle Makes a Real Difference
Ever grabbed a pan handle mid-service and had to drop it instantly? The epoxy coating on this pan's steel handle is designed to prevent just that. Think of it as a built-in, heat-resistant glove. While the riveted steel provides the core strength needed to handle a busy kitchen, the epoxy layer acts as an insulator. It doesn't get screaming hot like bare metal, allowing you to work faster and more comfortably without constantly reaching for a tea towel. It’s a small, thoughtful detail that makes a huge impact on safety and efficiency during a hectic shift.
