The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence casserole pan is a heavy-use stockpot-style pan from one of the most established names in professional cookware. Constructed in stainless steel and designed to sit within the Excellence range, it offers the build quality Matfer Bourgeat is known for at a more accessible price point than their top-tier lines. At 18.3 litres, this is a substantial pan suited to batch cooking, stocks, soups, braising, and large-volume sauce work.

In a busy kitchen, this size of pan earns its place on the range throughout service. The stainless steel construction handles high heat without warping under sustained use, and the pan is induction compatible, making it practical across both gas and induction hob installations. The 5.14kg base weight gives it enough stability when full without being unwieldy for kitchen staff to manage safely.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

  • Induction compatible — works across gas and induction hob installations
  • Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles commercial dishwashing
  • Smooth interior supports thorough cleaning between services
  • Large 18.3 litre capacity suits batch cooking and pre-service preparation
  • Backed by a 10-year warranty, reflecting the build quality of the Excellence range

There are no specialist installation requirements — this is a freestanding pan that works with any compatible hob. Bear in mind that at full capacity this pan will be considerable in weight, so adequate hob support and safe handling practices are worth considering in a busy pass. A compatible lid is available separately (reference K837) and is worth ordering alongside if covered storage or gentle simmering is part of your workflow.

This pan suits mid-sized to larger professional kitchens preparing stocks, soups, or braised dishes in volume. For lighter day-to-day use or smaller operations, a smaller capacity from the same range may be more practical. If your kitchen routinely works at high volumes across multiple services, it is worth considering whether multiple smaller pans or a larger capacity vessel would better fit your workflow.

If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your kitchen's output, our team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 18.3 litre size practical for daily batch cooking in a busy kitchen?

For most mid-sized kitchens preparing stocks, soups, or braised dishes in volume, an 18-litre pan covers the bulk of pre-service batch work comfortably. If your kitchen is running multiple large-volume preparations simultaneously, you may find it more practical to run two smaller pans in parallel rather than relying on a single vessel of this size.

Does this pan require any specific hob type or installation consideration?

No specialist installation is required — this is a freestanding pan compatible with both gas and induction hobs. The one practical consideration is that at full capacity the pan will be heavy, so it is worth ensuring your hob grates or induction zones are rated to support the combined weight of pan and contents before committing to regular full-capacity use.

Should the lid be ordered separately, and is it worth having?

Yes, the compatible lid (K837) is a separate purchase. If your workflow includes gentle simmering, retaining heat between services, or covered storage during prep, it is worth ordering alongside the pan rather than sourcing it later. For open reduction work or rapid boiling, the lid is less critical but still useful to have available.
