Stainless Steel and Copper Frying Pans

The Pujadas Ergos is a professional-grade stainless steel fry pan designed for daily use across commercial kitchen environments. The 200mm diameter makes it a compact, single-portion pan — practical for à la carte service, sauce reductions, or finishing work rather than high-volume batch cooking. It carries an Excalibur non-stick coating treatment applied over 18/10 stainless steel construction, and the sandwich base is engineered to work across induction, gas, vitroceramic, and electric hobs.

In service, the pan handles the repetitive demands of a professional kitchen reasonably well for its size. The stainless steel tube handle uses an ergonomic profile designed to stay cooler during use, which matters when a pan is being moved on and off a burner repeatedly through a busy shift. The non-stick treatment is specified to offer good abrasion resistance, which extends its working life compared with lighter coated pans — though as with any non-stick surface, care with utensil choice will preserve it longer.

• Compatible with induction, gas, vitroceramic, and electric hobs
• Excalibur non-stick coating with high abrasion resistance
• Ergonomic stainless steel tube handle designed to reduce heat transfer
• 18/10 stainless steel construction for durability in daily use
• Sandwich base ensures stable heat distribution on induction

At 200mm this pan is best suited to smaller brigades, chef's table operations, or kitchens where individual portions are cooked to order. It is not intended for volume catering or batch frying — for those applications a larger diameter pan from the same range would be more appropriate.

If you are equipping a new section or want guidance on building out a cookware set that matches your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Pujadas Ergos is an 18/10 stainless steel fry pan designed specifically for professional kitchen use. The 240mm diameter makes it a practical all-rounder for sautéing, pan-frying, and finishing dishes across a range of service styles. It is compatible with induction, gas, vitroceramic, and electric hobs, so it can move between stations or kitchens without restriction.

The pan features Pujadas' Excalibur non-stick coating, which is intended to offer strong abrasion resistance under the kind of repeated daily use that degrades lesser coatings relatively quickly. The sandwich base construction ensures even heat distribution and stable contact with induction surfaces, which matters in kitchens where consistent cooking results are expected during busy service periods.

The Ergos handle is formed from stainless steel tube and shaped to reduce hand fatigue during extended use — a detail that becomes more relevant the longer your team is on the line. Key practical points include:

• Compatible with all hob types including induction
• Excalibur non-stick coating with high resistance to abrasion
• Ergonomic stainless steel handle designed for extended professional use
• Sandwich base for even heat distribution on induction surfaces
• 18/10 stainless steel construction throughout

At 240mm, this pan is well suited to à la carte cooking, individual portion work, and sauce finishing. It is not the right choice for batch cooking or high-volume production kitchens where a larger or heavier-gauge pan would be more appropriate.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing cookware across multiple stations, it is worth having a conversation about the right mix of sizes and gauges for your service style — feel free to get in touch with the team.

The Pujadas Ergos is a professional-grade stainless steel fry pan designed for daily use across induction, gas, vitroceramic, and electric cooking surfaces. The sandwich base construction ensures even heat distribution across the pan floor, which is particularly important on induction where poor base contact can lead to uneven cooking. The Excalibur non-stick coating treatment reduces the risk of food adhesion without relying on a traditional PTFE-heavy coating, and the 18/10 stainless steel construction is chosen for its resistance to corrosion and general robustness in a busy kitchen environment.

In practical service use, the 280mm diameter is a versatile size — large enough to handle a couple of portions simultaneously, but manageable enough for a single cook working a busy stove section. The ergonomic stainless steel tube handle is designed to be comfortable under repeated use and keeps hand fatigue to a minimum during longer service periods. The high resistance to abrasion means it holds up reasonably well against the kind of daily wear that comes with professional use, including metal utensils and regular washing.

• Suitable for induction, gas, vitroceramic and electric cooking surfaces
• Even heat distribution supported by sandwich base construction
• Excalibur non-stick coating reduces food adhesion and aids cleaning
• Ergonomic stainless steel handle designed for extended use
• 18/10 stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance

This pan is well suited to smaller operations, café kitchens, and as part of a set of cookware on a busier stove section. For very high-volume kitchens turning out large quantities continuously, a heavier-gauge alternative may offer better longevity under that level of sustained use.

If you are equipping a new section or want to discuss which cookware specification best suits your kitchen's output, we are happy to talk it through.

The Pujadas Ergos is a professional-grade stainless steel frying pan designed for use across induction, gas, vitroceramic, and electric hobs. The 320mm diameter makes it a practical choice for cooking larger portions or multiple servings in a single pass, reducing the number of batches needed during a busy service.

In a working kitchen environment, the sandwich base construction provides stable, even heat distribution across all hob types — particularly useful on induction where hotspot cooking can be an issue with thinner pans. The Excalibur non-stick coating treatment is designed for durability under professional use, offering resistance to abrasion from metal utensils and the repeated high-heat cycles that commercial kitchens demand. This is not a pan that needs coddling during service.

From an operational standpoint, the Ergos range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Stainless steel construction withstands heavy daily use without warping or surface degradation
• Ergonomic stainless steel tube handle stays cooler than solid cast alternatives during service
• Compatible with all hob types, so it follows the kitchen if equipment is changed or upgraded
• Non-stick surface reduces the amount of fat required and simplifies cleaning between covers
• Dishwasher-safe construction supports efficient turnaround in high-volume kitchens

At 320mm, this pan is well suited to à la carte kitchens, hotel restaurants, or contract catering operations handling individual portions through to small batch cooking. For operations producing very high volumes of a single dish simultaneously, it may be worth considering a larger-diameter alternative or running multiple pans in parallel. Lighter-volume kitchens or prep environments may find a smaller pan more practical for day-to-day work.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your particular setup or hob configuration, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Pujadas Ergos is a professional-grade stainless steel fry pan designed for daily commercial kitchen use. The 360mm diameter makes it a practical all-rounder — large enough to handle a reasonable volume of product in a single cook, but manageable at the stove. It is compatible with induction, gas, vitroceramics, and electric ranges, so it works across most professional cooking suites without any adaptation.

The base uses a sandwich construction specifically engineered for induction compatibility, providing even heat distribution across the cooking surface. The Excalibur non-stick treatment is applied to a grade suited to abrasion resistance, which matters in kitchens where pans are in constant rotation and cleaned repeatedly through service. The 18/10 stainless steel construction holds up well under the thermal cycling that comes with busy kitchen use.

The Ergos handle is fabricated from stainless steel tube and shaped ergonomically to reduce fatigue during extended service periods. It is heat-resistant, which reduces the need for a cloth on every lift — a small detail that makes a genuine difference when pans are moving frequently.

• Works across induction, gas, vitroceramic, and electric hobs
• Excalibur non-stick coating with good abrasion resistance for repeated use
• Ergonomic stainless handle reduces fatigue during long service periods
• Even heat distribution from the sandwich induction base

This pan is well suited to cafés, hotel kitchens, pub kitchens, and contract catering operations where a reliable, multi-compatible fry pan is needed at a practical price point. For very high-volume operations requiring heavier-gauge cookware, a thicker-base pan from a heavier-duty range may be worth considering.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing a cookware set and want to talk through what suits your cooking style and hob type, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The De Buyer Inocuivre range is a professional-grade copper cookware line designed for kitchens where precise heat control matters. This 28cm round frying pan is constructed primarily from copper, which conducts heat rapidly and evenly across the cooking surface. The interior is lined to make it suitable for direct food contact, and the brass handle provides a secure, heat-resistant grip during service. It is not compatible with induction hobs.

Copper cookware of this type is well suited to kitchens where chefs need to respond quickly to temperature changes — sautéing, reducing sauces, or finishing proteins where even a few seconds of excess heat makes a difference. The thermal responsiveness of copper is markedly better than stainless steel or cast iron, which makes this pan a practical choice for brigade kitchens where speed and consistency are both important.

• Copper construction delivers rapid, even heat distribution across the base and sides
• Brass handle offers a firm grip and ages well under regular professional use
• Suitable for gas, electric, and solid-top ranges — not compatible with induction
• Works as a serving piece for oven-to-table presentation where appropriate
• At 1.82kg, the pan is substantial but manageable for daily brigade use

Copper cookware does require more attentive care than stainless steel alternatives. It should not be left on high heat unattended for extended periods, and the exterior will develop a natural patina with use. Regular polishing maintains the appearance if that matters for front-of-house presentation. It is not dishwasher safe in professional use — hand washing is recommended to preserve both the lining and the brass handle.

This pan is best suited to professional kitchens already working with copper cookware, or chefs who understand the material and want the thermal advantages it offers. It is particularly well matched to smaller-volume operations, private dining, or finishing work rather than high-throughput bulk cookery. For kitchens requiring larger cooking surfaces or higher-volume output, a bigger diameter or a heavier-gauge option within the range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether copper cookware is the right choice for your kitchen setup or heat source, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

The De Buyer Inocuivre 20cm round frypan is a traditional copper cooking pan made to professional kitchen standards. Constructed predominantly from copper with a tin lining, it is designed for chefs who require precise, responsive heat control — particularly for tasks such as sautéing, reducing sauces, and finishing dishes where temperature sensitivity matters.

Copper conducts heat far more efficiently than stainless steel or aluminium, which means the pan responds quickly to changes at the burner. In a busy service environment, this translates to faster heat-up, more even distribution across the base and sides, and a reduced risk of hot spots that can scorch delicate preparations. At 910g, the pan sits at a practical weight for everyday service use without feeling unwieldy in the hand.

The brass handle is riveted for durability and stays cooler than the pan body during hob use, though appropriate care should always be taken when moving the pan from oven to pass. Its appearance also lends itself well to oven-to-table or counter presentation in establishments where front-of-house service is part of the experience.

• Highly responsive to burner adjustments — well suited to sauce work and delicate cookery
• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of scorching during busy service
• Brass handle provides a secure, chef-friendly grip
• Suitable for gas and electric hob use, and oven finishing
• Compatible with most heat sources — not suitable for induction

This is a 20cm pan, appropriate for single portions or small-batch preparations. It is not intended for high-volume batch cooking; operators with greater throughput requirements may find a larger or heavier-gauge pan from the same range more suitable. The tin lining requires some care — avoid very high dry heat and use of metal utensils to preserve the cooking surface over time.

This pan suits professional kitchens where copper cookware is part of the working kit — from independent restaurants to hotel kitchens that value precise heat control and presentation quality. If you are considering copper cookware as part of a broader batterie de cuisine or have questions about suitability for your kitchen setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Vogue Tri Wall frying pan is a heavy-duty stainless steel pan built for professional kitchen use. Its defining feature is the tri wall construction: an aluminium thermocore sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel, a design that promotes even heat distribution across the base and reduces the risk of hot spots that can scorch food during high-output service periods.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistent heat across the cooking surface matters. Pans with uneven bases tend to produce inconsistent results under pressure, particularly when moving quickly between batches. The aluminium core conducts heat efficiently, while the stainless steel outer layers provide the durability and hygiene properties expected in a commercial setting. The pan is induction compatible, making it a practical choice for sites running induction ranges — which are increasingly common in kitchens prioritising energy efficiency and surface safety.

From an operational standpoint, this pan offers a number of practical advantages:

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of burning during high-volume service
• Induction compatibility suits modern commercial induction hobs
• Stainless steel construction is durable, hygienic, and straightforward to clean
• The tri wall base provides good stability on flat cooking surfaces
• A practical mid-size suitable for a range of general frying tasks

It is worth noting that lids are sold separately, so factor that in if covered cooking is part of your workflow. At this size, the pan suits general sauce work, shallow frying, and medium-batch cooking. For kitchens needing higher volume output in a single pan, a larger size may be more appropriate.

This pan works well in restaurants, hotel kitchens, cafés, and contract catering operations as part of a broader cookware set. If you are building out a new cookware range or replacing ageing stock and want to talk through what combination of sizes and types suits your service style, the team is happy to help.

The Vogue Tri-Wall Induction Frying Pan is a heavy-duty commercial frying pan constructed with an aluminium thermocore sandwiched between stainless steel walls. This tri-wall construction is designed to distribute heat evenly across the base and lower sides, reducing the risk of hot spots that can cause uneven cooking or scorching — a common frustration with lighter single-ply pans used in busy service environments.

In practice, the thermocore construction makes a noticeable difference when cooking over induction hobs, where heat transfer is direct and intense. The pan responds well to temperature changes and holds heat steadily once at temperature, which helps maintain consistent results across a full service period. The stainless steel exterior is robust enough for daily use in a professional kitchen and handles repeated heating cycles without warping.

Key practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Even heat distribution reduces the need for constant repositioning during cooking
• Induction compatible — works across all induction surfaces
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and maintains hygiene standards
• Heavier tri-wall build resists warping under sustained commercial use
• Suitable for use on gas, electric, and induction hobs

At 240mm this pan is practical for individual portions and smaller batch cooking. It sits comfortably within a standard mise en place setup and is well suited to kitchens running induction stations as part of a modular line. It is worth noting that lids are sold separately if covered cooking or resting is part of your workflow.

This pan works well in cafés, small restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where a reliable, multi-hob compatible frying pan is needed day to day. For kitchens with higher throughput requirements or larger batch volumes, a bigger diameter or heavier-gauge option may be worth considering.

If you are fitting out a new induction line or replacing existing cookware and want a steer on what suits your setup, feel free to get in touch with the team.

The Vogue 280mm stainless steel frying pan is a straightforward, workhorse piece of cookware built for everyday professional use. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, it is compatible with induction hobs as well as gas and electric ranges, which makes it a practical choice for kitchens running mixed or updated hob configurations.

In a busy kitchen environment, a pan of this size handles a broad range of tasks — searing proteins, sautéing vegetables, finishing sauces — without being unwieldy on a tight cooker line. The welded handle construction avoids the loosening that can occur with riveted handles over time, and the stay-cool design reduces the risk of burns during service. At just under 1.7kg, it sits in a comfortable weight range for regular daily use without causing undue fatigue during a long shift.

• Compatible with induction, gas, and electric hobs — no need to segregate pans by hob type
• Welded handle reduces long-term maintenance issues common with riveted alternatives
• 18/10 stainless steel resists corrosion and tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles
• A practical size for à la carte covers without being oversized for single-portion cooking

There are no significant installation considerations for cookware of this type, though the pan's induction compatibility should be verified against your specific hob brand if you are running older induction units with narrow base-size tolerances. Stainless steel pans of this construction are not non-stick, so operators should factor that into their pan selection depending on menu requirements.

This pan is well suited to kitchens looking for reliable, no-nonsense cookware that can move between hob types and withstand regular commercial use. For operations needing a larger cooking surface or a non-stick finish, other options in the Vogue range may be worth considering alongside this model.

If you are building out a cookware specification or are unsure which pan sizes suit your menu and service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Vogue 240mm stainless steel frying pan is a straightforward, well-built piece of cookware designed for everyday professional use. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel throughout, it is induction compatible, making it suitable for kitchens running induction hobs as well as conventional gas and electric ranges.

In practical kitchen use, a pan this size handles single portions and small batches comfortably — sautéed vegetables, eggs, sauces, and pan-finishing work are all well within its scope. The stainless steel construction holds heat reasonably well and is far more durable through repeated high-temperature use and commercial dishwasher cycles than non-stick alternatives, which tend to degrade under heavy service conditions.

The welded stay-cool handle is a practical detail worth noting. Welded fixings avoid the hygiene and durability issues associated with riveted handles, and the design reduces heat transfer during service, which matters when a pan is moving quickly between hob and pass.

• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hobs
• 18/10 stainless steel construction withstands repeated commercial dishwasher use
• Welded handle avoids food trap points associated with riveted alternatives
• Straightforward to maintain and re-season where needed

This pan is best suited to smaller operations, café kitchens, and as part of a broader set where different sizes handle different tasks across service. For kitchens running higher volumes or needing heavier-gauge cookware for sustained service periods, a more substantial pan may be worth considering.

If you are building out a cookware set or are unsure which sizes and materials best fit your hob setup and service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This is a 200mm stainless steel frying pan from Vogue's professional cookware range, constructed from 18/10 stainless steel and compatible with induction hobs. It is a straightforward, general-purpose pan designed to handle the day-to-day demands of a working kitchen.

• Consistent wall thickness supports even heat distribution across the base

At 200mm, this pan is best suited to smaller kitchens, finishing stations, or as part of a set where multiple pan sizes are used across different tasks. It is not intended for batch cooking or high-volume production — for those applications, a larger or heavier-gauge pan would be more appropriate.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or building out a cookware set and want to talk through what sizes and quantities make sense for your service style, the team is happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus is a stainless steel frying pan designed for professional kitchen use across all cooking surfaces, including induction. At 240mm diameter, it sits in a practical mid-range size — large enough for individual portions and small pan sauces, without being unwieldy on a busy line.

Stainless steel construction holds up well under the demands of commercial service. It transfers heat evenly across gas, electric, and induction hobs, and the stay-cool handle helps reduce the risk of burns during fast-paced service when pan-to-pan movement is constant. The handle seal is watertight, which makes cleaning more straightforward and reduces the risk of bacteria harbouring in joints — a practical consideration in any kitchen operating under hygiene inspection.

Key practical points for kitchen operators:

• Compatible with all hob types, including induction — no need to segregate pans by station
• Watertight handle joint simplifies cleaning and supports hygiene compliance
• Stay-cool handle reduces handling risk during busy service periods

This pan is straightforward to use across a variety of hob setups and requires no special installation considerations. It is well suited to kitchens standardising their smallwares on induction or mixed-hob environments. At this size, it works best as a single-portion or mise-en-place pan rather than a high-volume batch cooking tool — operators needing larger capacities should consider moving up to a bigger diameter within the Tradition Plus range.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing cookware across multiple stations and want to talk through which sizes and quantities suit your service style, the team is happy to help.

This is a small stainless steel frying pan from Vogue's tri-wall range, designed for induction hobs. At 100mm in diameter, it sits at the compact end of the cookware spectrum — built for single-portion cooking, garnish work, or tasks where a full-size pan would be impractical or wasteful.

The defining feature of the tri-wall construction is the aluminium core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. Aluminium conducts heat efficiently and spreads it evenly across the base, which helps reduce the hot spots that can catch sauces or delicate proteins. In a busy service environment, consistent heat distribution across the cooking surface means more predictable results and less need to constantly reposition food.

Practically, a pan this size is most useful in kitchens where mise en place or finishing work happens alongside the main pass — melting butter for a single portion, warming a small sauce, or browning a garnish quickly. It is not suited to high-volume batch cooking, but that is not its purpose.

• Induction compatible, so it works on both induction and conventional hob types
• Mirror-polished exterior is straightforward to wipe down between uses
• Brushed interior finish is practical for daily kitchen use
• Lightweight at 190g, easy to handle during fast-paced service

The pan is best suited to professional kitchens that need a reliable small pan for precision work or single covers. If your operation requires larger capacities or heavier-gauge cookware for sustained high-heat use, it is worth considering other options in the range.

If you are building out a cookware set and are unsure which sizes make sense for your service style, the team is happy to talk through what works in practice.

This Vogue fry pan uses a tri-wall construction — an aluminium thermocore sandwiched between stainless steel layers with a copper exterior coating — to deliver consistent, even heat across the cooking surface. The aluminium core conducts heat quickly and distributes it uniformly, reducing the risk of hotspots that cause uneven cooking. The induction-compatible base means it works across a range of heat sources, giving kitchen operators flexibility without needing dedicated cookware for different stations.

In a working kitchen environment, the pan's construction supports reliable performance across a full service period. The even heat distribution is particularly useful when cooking proteins or delicate sauces where temperature consistency matters. The riveted stay-cool handles reduce interruption during busy service, and the brushed interior finish is practical to clean down at the end of service.

Key practical characteristics worth noting:

• Tri-wall construction reduces hotspots for more consistent cooking results
• Induction-compatible base suits mixed hob environments
• Riveted handles stay cool during service, reducing handling risk
• Mirror-polished copper exterior is hardwearing and resists surface wear
• Brushed interior finish is straightforward to clean and maintain

At this size, the pan is well suited to à la carte cooking, sauce work, and single-portion or small-batch preparation. It is not intended for high-volume batch cooking or extended braising; for larger throughput requirements, a bigger or heavier-gauge pan would be more appropriate.

This pan suits professional kitchens where presentation and cooking consistency both matter — particularly in restaurant or hotel environments where copper cookware may also contribute to front-of-house service. It is less suited to high-turnover canteen or production kitchen use where a more utilitarian pan would see better return.

If you are building out a new cookware set or replacing existing pans and want a steer on what would work best for your service style, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Vogue 200mm Tri-Wall Induction Frying Pan is a small-format pan built for consistent, controlled cooking on induction hobs. Its defining feature is the layered construction: an aluminium core bonded between two stainless steel walls. This sandwich arrangement addresses one of the most common complaints about standard stainless steel pans — uneven heat distribution that creates hot spots and leads to inconsistent results.

In practice, the tri-wall build means heat spreads more uniformly across the cooking surface, which is particularly useful when precision matters — finishing eggs, searing proteins to a consistent colour, or working with ingredients that scorch easily. The stainless steel outer is durable under daily commercial use and straightforward to clean, while the aluminium core does the thermal work. At 200mm this is a smaller pan, suited to individual portions rather than batch cooking.

Key practical advantages include:

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hot spots and burnt food
• Induction compatible, making it suitable for modern hob configurations
• Stainless steel construction supports rigorous cleaning regimes
• Lightweight enough at 770g for repeated handling during service
• Suitable for use across multiple cooking methods including sautéing and shallow frying

The 200mm diameter is best suited to à la carte operations, small-plate menus, or breakfast service where individual portions are cooked to order. It is less appropriate where volume cooking or larger batch sizes are required — in those cases a larger diameter or heavier-gauge pan would be a more practical choice.

If you are building out a cookware set or unsure whether this size fits your service style, we are happy to talk through what works best for your kitchen.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition frying pan is a straightforward stainless steel pan from a long-established French manufacturer with a strong presence in professional kitchens. At 280mm, it sits in a practical mid-size bracket — comfortable for single portions and small-batch cookery without taking up unnecessary hob space. The Tradition range is built around durability and daily function rather than specialist application, and this pan reflects that ethos.

In a working kitchen, pans at this size are regularly used for sautéing, building pan sauces, finishing proteins, and general à la carte service. Stainless steel is well suited to these tasks where control and longevity matter more than non-stick convenience. It is worth noting that stainless does require more deliberate temperature management than coated alternatives — adequate preheating reduces sticking, and operators unfamiliar with stainless pans should factor this into kitchen training. The pan is compatible with all hob types including induction, which makes it a practical fit for kitchens running mixed or newer hob infrastructure.

• Full induction compatibility across all common hob types
• Mid-size format well suited to single portions and small batches
• Straightforward to clean without specialist care or seasoning
• Robust construction designed for repeated daily use
• Sold without a lid — factor this in if covered cooking is required

This pan suits restaurants, bistros, and contract catering operations running regular à la carte volumes where a reliable, easy-to-maintain stainless option is needed. For kitchens carrying heavier service loads or requiring larger pan sizes, it is worth exploring other sizes within the Matfer Bourgeat range before committing to a single specification.

If you are working through a pan inventory for a new kitchen or want to discuss what sizes and materials best suit your service style, the team is glad to help you think it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition frying pan is a straightforward, well-built piece of cookware from a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in professional kitchens. Constructed from polished stainless steel with an aluminium sandwich base, it is the kind of pan that earns its place on a busy station through reliability rather than novelty.

In practice, the aluminium sandwich construction in the base distributes heat evenly and helps the pan hold its shape through repeated heating and cooling cycles — a common point of failure with lighter cookware used heavily over time. The 200mm diameter makes it well suited to single-portion work: searing proteins, finishing sauces, or handling garnish components without tying up a larger pan unnecessarily.

From an operational standpoint, the pan offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Polished stainless steel interior cleans down quickly between covers
• Easy-pour rim allows controlled dispensing without stopping service
• Stainless steel handle is designed to stay manageable during extended use
• Robust construction holds up to daily commercial kitchen handling

It is worth being clear about its scope: at 200mm this is a smaller pan, most useful for à la carte service where individual portion control matters. It is not intended for bulk cooking or high-volume batch work, where a larger diameter would be more appropriate. It is compatible with gas and electric hobs; operators with induction ranges should confirm compatibility before purchasing, as standard stainless with aluminium sandwich bases vary in induction performance.

This pan is well suited to small independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where a reliable everyday frying pan is needed for à la carte or finishing work. If your service volumes or portion sizes call for something larger, there are bigger options in the Matfer Bourgeat Tradition range worth considering alongside this one.

If you are building out a pan set and want to talk through what sizes make sense for your specific menu and service style, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Vogue 240mm tri-wall copper frying pan is a professional-grade pan constructed from three bonded layers — copper, aluminium, and stainless steel — working together to deliver consistent, even heat across the entire cooking surface. It is a practical choice for kitchens where heat control and cooking consistency matter, whether for searing proteins, cooking eggs to order, or finishing vegetables with precision.

In a busy service environment, uneven heat is one of the most common causes of inconsistent results and unnecessary food waste. The tri-wall construction addresses this directly: the copper and aluminium core distributes heat rapidly and evenly, while the stainless steel exterior provides durability and compatibility with induction hobs. This means the pan can move between gas, electric, and induction stations without issue — useful in kitchens that run mixed hob types or use portable induction units for live or demonstration cooking.

A few points worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Even heat spread reduces hot spots and the risk of localised burning
• Induction compatible — suitable for most hob types without additional equipment
• Open-style handle design limits heat transfer to the hand during extended use
• At just over 1kg, the pan is light enough for comfortable single-handed use
• The 240mm diameter suits individual portions and à la carte service

The open handle design is a considered detail. Rather than a solid full-metal handle that conducts heat along its length, the open construction reduces the surface area in contact with the heat source, making it more comfortable to handle during extended service periods. It is not a substitute for a cloth or glove in high-heat situations, but it does make a practical difference.

At 240mm, this pan is well suited to à la carte kitchens, smaller brigade operations, and prep work where portion-level control is important. It is not designed for high-volume bulk cooking — for that, a larger or heavier-duty pan would be more appropriate. It is a sound everyday working pan rather than a display piece, and the stainless steel exterior holds up well to regular commercial use.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or building out a batterie de cuisine and want to talk through what sizes and materials make sense for your service style, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Vogue 200mm tri-wall frying pan is a professional cookware piece built around a three-layer construction — copper, aluminium, and stainless steel bonded together. That combination is what distinguishes it from a standard single-material pan: the copper and aluminium layers distribute heat quickly and evenly across the base, while the stainless steel exterior provides durability and induction compatibility.

In practice, even heat distribution means less risk of hot spots causing food to catch or cook unevenly — a genuine operational advantage during busy service when a chef may be working multiple pans simultaneously. The 200mm diameter suits portions rather than batch cooking, making it a practical size for à la carte service, eggs, fish fillets, or individual meat portions cooked to order.

• Three-layer construction reduces hot spots and promotes consistent cooking results
• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hobs
• Open-style handle design limits heat transfer to the hand during service
• Ergonomic handle gives confident control during extended cooking periods
• Suitable for meat, fish, eggs, and vegetables in professional settings

At 200mm this is a compact pan, and it is worth being clear about that. It is not intended for large batch work or high-volume production kitchens; it suits kitchens where individual portion cooking is the norm. Chefs in smaller brigades, catering for events, or working live demonstration cooking will find the size and the induction compatibility particularly useful.

If you are equipping a section and are unsure whether this size fits your service style, or whether a different diameter would better suit your menu, the team is happy to talk it through.
