Stepping up your culinary game calls for tools that can keep up, and this little powerhouse is precisely that.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular bistro in the heart of Chester, needed a small, reliable pan to perfect the beurre noisette for their signature skate wing dish. Their existing pans were inconsistent, often leading to burnt butter during a busy service.
"The CX532 gives us the control we were missing. The heat distribution is spot on, so our brown butter is perfect every single time. It's a small change that has made a huge difference to the consistency of our most popular dish."
Robert Green – Head Chef
Since introducing the pan, the kitchen has reported a 95% reduction in sauce wastage and significantly faster plating times for their fish course.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use and Setup
- Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to remove any residues.
- Season the pan by lightly wiping the inside with cooking oil, heating it gently for a minute, then letting it cool and wiping away the excess.
- Always try to heat the pan gradually rather than placing it on full power from cold.
Keeping It Going
- Always allow the pan to cool down completely before washing to prevent thermal shock, which can damage the coating.
- Hand wash only with a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid metal scourers and harsh abrasive cleaners at all costs.
- To preserve the non-stick surface, stick to using wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils.
- Periodically check the riveted handle to ensure it remains tight and secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this pan oven-safe?
A: Due to the epoxy-coated handle, it's typically safe only to low temperatures, around 180°C. It's primarily designed for hob use.
Q: Can I use metal utensils with this flared saute pan for restaurant use?
A: It's strongly recommended not to. To protect the 4-layer non-stick coating and prolong the pan's life, you should always use wooden, nylon, or silicone utensils.
Q: Why isn't it compatible with induction hobs?
A: Induction cooking works by creating a magnetic field. This pan is made from aluminium, which is not a magnetic material, so it won't heat up on an induction hob.
Q: What is the best way to clean the pan?
A: After it has cooled, use a soft sponge or cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid dishwashers and abrasive scouring pads as they will damage the non-stick surface.
Q: What does a 'flared' side actually do?
A: The flared, sloped sides make it much easier to toss and sauté food. They also provide a larger surface area, which helps liquids evaporate more quickly when you're reducing a sauce.
Q: Is the non-stick coating PFOA-free?
A: Yes, quality European manufacturers like Matfer Bourgeat adhere to strict standards, and their professional non-stick coatings are PFOA-free.
Q: What's the point of such a small, 9cm pan?
A: It's a specialist tool for precision tasks like toasting spices, melting butter for one, creating a small jus, or preparing individual garnishes where a large pan would be inefficient.
Q: How do I 'season' a non-stick pan?
A: It's simple. Just apply a very thin layer of cooking oil to the inside surface, heat it on a low setting for about a minute, let it cool, and then wipe out any excess oil with a paper towel.
The Matfer Bourgeat Promise: French Craftsmanship in Every Pan
When you choose a Matfer Bourgeat product, you're not just buying a piece of equipment; you're investing in over 200 years of French culinary heritage. This brand is a staple in professional kitchens across the world for a reason. Their commitment to quality goes beyond a list of features. It's about creating tools that feel right in a chef's hand, that respond predictably to heat, and that withstand the relentless pace of a commercial environment. This aluminium non-stick saute pan 9cm is a perfect example. It's engineered for longevity, meaning fewer replacements and less downtime for your business. The trust that chefs place in Matfer Bourgeat is built on decades of consistent performance, ensuring that every sauce you reduce and every portion you plate is backed by uncompromising quality.
Explore more from Matfer BourgeatWhy a 4-Layer Coating Elevates Your Cooking
Ever had a non-stick pan that starts flaking after a few months of hard use? That’s often because it has a single, thin layer of coating. The Matfer Bourgeat CX532 uses a 4-cross-layer system, which is a completely different approach. Think of it like this: a single coat of paint on a wall might cover it, but a professional job uses a primer, multiple colour coats, and a protective topcoat. That's the principle here. Each of the four layers is designed for a specific job – adhesion, durability, resistance, and finally, a super-slick release. This layered defence means the pan is far more resilient to the scrapes and high heat of a commercial kitchen, ensuring its non-stick properties last significantly longer and deliver consistent results day in, day out.
