Matfer Bourgeat Casserole Pans

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus casserole pan is a heavy-gauge stainless steel pan designed for everyday use across professional kitchen environments. Built to handle the demands of continuous service, it is compatible with all cooking surfaces including induction, making it a practical choice for kitchens running mixed or upgraded equipment.

In service, a pan of this capacity handles stocks, soups, sauces, braised dishes, and blanching tasks comfortably. The robust construction holds up under repeated heating, heavy stirring, and the kind of daily handling that lighter domestic-grade pans do not tolerate well. The reinforced non-drip pouring edge is a practical detail that reduces spillage during plating and portioning under pressure.

Key operational advantages include:

• Compatible with gas, electric, solid top, and induction hobs without adaptation
• Reinforced non-drip edge reduces spillage during service
• Stay-cool handle design improves safe handling during busy periods
• Watertight lid seal (lid sold separately) supports holding and gentle simmering
• Heavy-duty build tolerates daily commercial use and repeated cleaning cycles

The pan is suitable for dishwasher cleaning, though hand washing will extend the finish life in high-cycle environments. At just under 5kg empty, it has a solid feel without being unwieldy for kitchen staff. As with all Matfer Bourgeat cookware, build quality is consistent across the range, which is one reason it is commonly found in professional kitchens where reliability matters more than price.

This size works well for medium-output sections — comfortably serving 20 to 40 covers depending on the dish. Smaller operations running tight menus will find it versatile; higher-volume sites producing large batch quantities may find a larger capacity option better suited to their throughput.

If you are equipping a section from scratch or replacing existing cookware and want a steer on the right sizes and quantities for your volume, we are happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus casserole pan is a straightforward, well-built stainless steel pan designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. At 8.6 litres, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for sauce work, braising, blanching, and general stock preparation, making it a practical choice for a wide variety of service types.

Matfer Bourgeat's Tradition Plus range is built with a reinforced non-drip edge and an ultra-thick bumper rim, which helps reduce spillage during pouring and extends the working life of the pan under the kind of repeated daily use common in professional kitchens. The stay-cool handle design keeps the grip manageable during service, and the construction is compatible with all cooking surfaces, including induction hobs.

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

• Induction-compatible base — suitable for kitchens with mixed or induction-only hob setups
• Reinforced rim reduces drips and spillage when pouring at volume
• Stay-cool handle improves handling safety during busy service
• Robust stainless steel construction tolerates high-frequency use and commercial dishwashing
• Lid sold separately, allowing operators to specify lid type to suit their workflow

There are no unusual installation requirements — this is a standalone pan that works across standard commercial cooking suites. The 3.34kg weight is worth bearing in mind for kitchen teams who handle pans frequently at full capacity, though it is consistent with similar commercial-grade cookware at this size. Lids are available separately; it is worth confirming the correct lid reference when ordering.

This pan is well suited to kitchens running medium-volume service — restaurants, hotels, school catering, and similar operations. For higher-volume sites or where larger batch cooking is routine, a bigger capacity pan from the same range may be worth considering.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 25-litre casserole pan is a large-format stainless steel pan designed for professional kitchen use. It forms part of Matfer Bourgeat's Excellence range, which is built to the same standard of construction as the broader Matfer catalogue but positioned at a more accessible price point without compromising on durability or performance.

At 25 litres, this pan is well suited to high-volume batch cooking — stocks, soups, braises, blanching liquids, and sauces that need to be held or replenished across a busy service. The capacity makes it a practical choice for catering operations serving large covers, banqueting kitchens, or production environments where cooking in smaller quantities would slow throughput. The pan is induction compatible, which gives it flexibility across different hob configurations, including modern induction suites.

Key practical characteristics of this pan include:

• Stainless steel construction suited to the rigours of daily professional use
• Induction compatible for use across a range of hob types
• A 10-year warranty, reflecting confidence in the build quality
• Compatible lid available separately (reference K838)
• Straightforward to clean and maintain in a commercial kitchen environment

At just over 6kg empty, this is a substantial piece of cookware. When full, operators should factor in the combined weight when considering workflow — particularly for kitchen teams moving pans from hob to service station. Storage space and rack capacity are worth considering at this size.

This pan is best suited to kitchens with consistent demand for batch cooking. For sites with lighter, more occasional needs, a smaller capacity from the same range may be more appropriate. Equally, very high-output production kitchens may find value in heavier-gauge or larger alternatives.

If you are building out a cookware specification or are unsure which size suits your service volume, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

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.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence casserole pan is a straightforward, well-made stainless steel saucepan from a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in professional kitchens. At 12.8 litres, it sits in a useful mid-range capacity that covers a broad range of sauce, stock, and braising tasks without taking up excessive space on a busy range or induction hob.

In practice, this size works well in kitchens producing 40 to 100 covers, where a consistent volume of sauces or soups needs to be held and replenished during service. The pan is induction compatible, which makes it suitable for kitchens running induction suites as well as those on conventional gas or electric ranges. Stainless steel construction handles daily use reliably and stands up to commercial dishwashing without degrading over time.

The practical advantages for a kitchen team are fairly clear:

• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hobs
• Stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to clean
• 12.8-litre capacity suits batch cooking and sauce production during service
• Backed by a 10-year warranty, reflecting solid build quality for the price point
• Part of a consistent range, so it integrates well with other Excellence cookware

There are no unusual installation requirements — this is a standalone pan that needs no plumbing or electrical connection. Bear in mind that at just under 13 litres, it is not the right choice for high-volume bulk production; kitchens preparing large batch quantities would be better served by a higher-capacity stockpot. Equally, for very small operations, a smaller pan from the same range may be more practical day to day.

This pan is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations looking for reliable, everyday cookware that will hold up to repeated use without requiring frequent replacement. If you are building out a new cookware set or are unsure which sizes will suit your service style, our team is happy to help you work through what you need.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence casserole pan is a straightforward, well-made stainless steel saucepan designed for professional kitchen use. It sits within Matfer Bourgeat's mid-range Excellence line, which is aimed at operations that want reliable French-made cookware without the price point of the top-tier ranges. The pan is induction compatible, making it a practical choice for kitchens running induction hobs alongside or instead of gas.

In daily service, an 8.6-litre capacity sits comfortably in the mid-range for brigade use — useful for stocks, sauces, soups, and braised preparations where a smaller saucepan would need constant topping up but a full stockpot would be excessive. The stainless steel construction handles repeated heating and cooling cycles without warping, and the weight at just over 2.6kg keeps it manageable when full. A matching lid is available separately if covered cooking or holding is required.

Operators choosing this pan typically value:

• Induction compatibility for use across different hob types
• A capacity well suited to small-batch sauce and soup production
• Stainless steel construction that cleans quickly and withstands commercial dishwasher cycles
• A 10-year warranty that reflects the quality standard Matfer Bourgeat holds across the Excellence range

There are no particular installation requirements — this is a freestanding pan that works on any suitable hob. It is worth confirming your hob's base diameter recommendation against the 280mm base before ordering, particularly on induction, where base-to-ring sizing affects efficiency.

This pan is well suited to small to medium kitchens, café operations, and as part of a broader batterie de cuisine in larger brigades. If your service volumes are consistently high and you need larger batch capacity, it is worth looking at heavier-gauge or larger-format options in the range.

If you are building out a pan set or are unsure which capacities best match your menu and service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence casserole pan is a straightforward, well-made stainless steel pan from one of the most established names in professional cookware. The Excellence range sits within Matfer Bourgeat's broader professional line, offering the build quality the brand is known for at a more accessible price point — without compromising on the durability expected in a working kitchen environment.

In daily kitchen use, this pan handles stocks, sauces, braised dishes, and wet preparations comfortably. The 5-litre capacity makes it a practical mid-range size — large enough for batch cooking during prep, manageable enough for à la carte service where portion control matters. The stainless steel construction holds up well under repeated heating, washing, and general handling without warping or discolouring over time.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Induction compatible, so it works across gas, electric, and induction hobs without restriction
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and supports high-temperature washing
• At under 2kg, it is easy to handle when full during busy service periods
• The lid is sold separately — worth confirming you have the correct lid reference when ordering
• Backed by a 10-year warranty, which reflects the expected service life in professional use

There are no complex installation requirements — this is a standard direct-heat pan suitable for any commercial hob setup. It is worth considering whether a 5-litre capacity fits your actual service volume; for high-output operations cooking larger batches, a bigger pan from the same range may be more practical.

This pan suits professional kitchens looking for reliable everyday cookware that will last — from restaurant kitchens and hotel operations to contract catering and staff dining.
