Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular seaside bistro in Whitby, was struggling with inconsistent cooking and slow clean-up times due to their ageing, scratched pans. They decided to invest in a set of Matfer Bourgeat CX533 pans to improve their kitchen's workflow.
"These pans have been brilliant. The heat response is instant, and nothing sticks, which means our chefs can work faster and with more confidence. The difference in service speed and food consistency is remarkable."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since the switch, The Salty Squid has seen a measurable reduction in pan-related cooking errors and has cut down pan cleaning time between services by over 25%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
- Lightly season the surface by wiping a very thin layer of cooking oil on the inside.
- Always ensure the pan is placed centrally on your gas or electric hob for even heating.
- Check that the riveted handle is firm and secure – it’s built to last.
Keeping It Going
- Always allow the pan to cool down completely before washing to prevent warping.
- Hand wash only. Dishwashers use harsh detergents that will destroy the non-stick coating.
- Avoid using metal utensils. Stick to wood, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic to protect the surface.
- Store carefully, placing a pan protector or cloth inside if stacking to prevent scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this pan compatible with induction hobs?
A: No, this aluminium sauté pan is designed for gas, electric, and ceramic hobs only. It is not induction compatible.
Q: Can I put this pan in the oven?
A: Yes, the pan and its handle are oven-safe up to a temperature of 150°C (302°F), making it great for finishing dishes.
Q: Is it safe to use metal utensils?
A: We strongly advise against it. To preserve the high-performance non-stick coating, you should only use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant nylon utensils.
Q: Is the pan heavy?
A: It weighs 1.35kg. It's designed to feel sturdy and substantial without being so heavy that it causes fatigue during a long service.

Q: How do I clean it?
A: Hand wash only with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge once the pan has fully cooled down.
Q: Will the steel handle get hot during cooking?
A: Yes, as with most professional cookware, the handle will conduct heat and get hot. Always use a dry oven cloth or a handle cover for safety.

Explore more from Matfer BourgeatWhy a 4-Layer Non-Stick Coating Matters
You've seen 'non-stick' before, but Matfer Bourgeat's four-layer system is on another level. Think of it like body armour for your pan. A single layer of non-stick is vulnerable; it can scratch and wear away quickly. Matfer Bourgeat applies four distinct, bonded layers, each with a specific job. The base layers provide adhesion and incredible toughness, while the top layers deliver that flawless food release. This multi-layer approach means the pan can withstand the scrapes and thermal shock of a professional kitchen far better than a standard domestic pan. It’s why this restaurant grade non-stick saute pan keeps performing long after others have been thrown away.
