- Pro: The non-stick surface is outstanding; even caramelised sugars release with ease.
- Con: It's hand-wash only and not induction compatible, which might limit some modern kitchens.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch, a family-run Italian restaurant in Bath, needed to replace their ageing, worn-out sauté pans which were causing inconsistent cooking and slowing down service.
"We switched to the Matfer Bourgeat pans and the difference was immediate. The heat control is superb, and the non-stick surface is flawless. Nothing sticks, which means less waste and faster service. Our chefs are genuinely happier using them."
Maria Rossi – Owner & Head Chef
The change resulted in a noticeable decrease in pan prep and cleaning time, allowing chefs to increase their dish output by an estimated 20% during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to remove any residues.
- Dry it completely before its first time on the heat.
- While not essential, you can lightly season the pan by wiping a thin layer of cooking oil on the interior.
- Always ensure the pan is placed centrally on a suitable gas or electric hob.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the non-stick coating, always hand wash. Avoid commercial dishwashers and harsh scouring pads.
- Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils. Avoid metal tools that can scratch the surface.
- Allow the pan to cool down naturally before immersing it in cold water to prevent thermal shock and warping.
- Check the riveted handle periodically to ensure it remains tight and secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I really use this pan in the oven?
A: Yes, absolutely. It is designed to be oven-safe for temperatures up to 150°C, making it perfect for finishing dishes or keeping them warm.
Q: Is the handle also oven-safe?
A: Yes, the riveted steel handle with its epoxy coating is safe within the pan's recommended oven temperature limit of 150°C.
Q: What is the main benefit of the 'flared' sides?
A: The flared sides provide a wider surface area for liquids to evaporate, which is great for reducing sauces. They also create the perfect curve for easily tossing and sautéing ingredients like a pro.
Q: Will this pan work on my induction hob?
A: No, this pan is made from aluminium and does not have a magnetic base, so it is not compatible with induction hobs. It works on gas, electric, and ceramic hobs.
Q: How do I clean it without damaging the non-stick surface?
A: The best method is to hand wash with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth in warm, soapy water once the pan has cooled down.
Q: Is a riveted handle better than a welded one?
A: For commercial use, yes. Rivets provide a stronger, more reliable mechanical bond that is far less likely to fail under the stress of a busy kitchen.
Q: Is this pan heavy to use all day?
A: Weighing just over 2kg, it is considered lightweight for a professional 32cm pan. This helps to reduce arm and wrist strain during a long service.
Q: What kind of non-stick coating is it?
A: It is a professional-grade, multi-layer PFOA-free coating engineered for enhanced durability and long-lasting performance in a commercial setting.

Explore more from Matfer BourgeatBuilt to Last: What's Inside the 4-Layer Non-Stick Coating?
You see 'non-stick' everywhere, but not all coatings are created equal. This pan features a 4-layer system, which is a significant step up from the standard one or two layers on domestic pans. Think of it like applying varnish to a wooden floor. One coat offers basic protection, but four cross-laid coats create an incredibly tough, resilient, and flawlessly smooth surface that can withstand the knocks and scrapes of a professional kitchen. For you, this means the pan's non-stick properties last much, much longer, ensuring food releases cleanly and clean-up stays effortless, even after months of intense daily use.
