Matfer Bourgeat Frying Pans

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef oval fish frying pan is a purpose-shaped aluminium pan designed for cooking whole fish and larger fillets in a professional kitchen environment. The elongated oval form gives chefs the room to handle whole plaice, sea bass, or large salmon portions without crowding, which makes a meaningful difference during a busy fish service.

Matfer Bourgeat's Classe Chef range is built for intensive daily use rather than occasional cooking. The thick aluminium construction distributes heat evenly across the base, reducing the risk of hot spots that can cause delicate fish to stick or cook unevenly. The four-layer non-stick coating is PFOA-free and is rated for professional kitchen conditions, holding up well under regular use provided standard care is observed — metal utensils and aggressive scourers will degrade any non-stick surface over time.

In practical terms, this pan suits kitchens where fish features regularly on the menu and service tempo is high. The non-stick surface reduces the need for excessive fat, keeps cleaning straightforward at the end of service, and helps maintain consistent presentation when plating whole fish.

• Oval profile designed specifically for whole fish and large fillets
• Even heat distribution supports consistent cooking results
• PFOA-free multi-layer coating reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning
• Thick aluminium construction handles the demands of regular commercial use
• Suitable for gas and electric hobs

This pan is well suited to à la carte and bistro-style kitchens where fish cookery is part of the regular repertoire. For kitchens running very high-volume fish covers, it may be worth considering a heavier-gauge or larger-format option from the same range.

If you are building out a fish section or want to discuss which pan sizes best fit your menu, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef crêpe pan is a small-format aluminium pan with a multi-layer non-stick coating, designed for professional kitchen use. At 11cm, it produces individual portion-sized crêpes suitable for dessert plating, children's menus, or à la carte service where a compact, consistent result is needed.

The heavy-gauge aluminium construction distributes heat evenly across the base, which helps avoid hot spots and supports consistent colour and texture across successive crêpes during a service period. The non-stick coating is PFOA-free and built to withstand the repetitive use typical of a busy pass or live cooking station, though as with any coated pan, longevity depends heavily on using appropriate utensils and following the manufacturer's care guidance.

In practical terms, this pan suits operations where crêpes are made to order rather than in large batches — the 11cm diameter is well suited to individual plating rather than high-throughput volume production. For operations producing crêpes at scale or in larger formats, a bigger pan or a dedicated crêpe griddle would be a more appropriate choice.

Key practical points to consider:

• PFOA-free non-stick coating suited to professional kitchen environments
• Heavy aluminium construction supports even heat distribution
• Compact 11cm format suited to individual portion work and plating
• Requires non-metallic utensils to protect the coating surface
• Hand-washing recommended to preserve coating performance over time

If you're building out a crêpe station or want to discuss which pan size best fits your menu format, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

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
• Stainless steel construction is durable under daily commercial use
• Consistent heat distribution suits sautéing, pan sauces, and light frying tasks

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.

The Matfer Bourgeat Elite Pro is a professional non-stick frying pan built for daily use in commercial kitchens. The 320mm diameter makes it a practical all-rounder for sautéing, pan-frying proteins, and finishing sauces during service, sitting comfortably between the smaller pans used for individual portions and the larger formats suited to batch cooking.

The pan is constructed from a combination of stainless steel and aluminium, giving it the heat conductivity needed for responsive cooking while keeping weight at a level that reduces fatigue over a long service. The extra-thick base — reinforced with a ceramic plasma sub-layer and titanium — gives the non-stick surface notably better durability than standard coated pans, which tend to degrade quickly under heavy rotation. In a busy kitchen environment where pans take punishment from high heat, metal utensils, and repeated washing, that resilience matters.

Practical advantages for kitchen operations include:

• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hobs without additional kit
• Thick base reduces hotspots and supports even browning across the full cooking surface
• Titanium-reinforced coating offers greater resistance to scratching and surface wear
• Cast iron handle provides a secure, heat-resistant grip under service pressure
• Suitable for professional dishwasher use where the coating remains intact

At 1.81kg, the pan is substantial without being unwieldy, though chefs running high-volume services where pans are lifted and tossed repeatedly should factor that into their choice. For very high-throughput operations, a larger format or a heavier-duty model in the same range may be worth considering.

This pan is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations looking for cookware that holds up reliably over time rather than requiring frequent replacement. If you are specifying cookware across a brigade or want guidance on the right sizes for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Elite Pro is a professional-grade non-stick frying pan designed for repeated daily use in commercial kitchens. The 280mm diameter makes it a practical all-round size for single portions, omelettes, pan sauces, and sautéed garnishes. It is fully induction compatible and works equally well on gas and solid-top ranges.

What sets this pan apart from standard catering non-stick is the construction of the cooking surface. A sub-layer of ceramic compound plasma is bonded to the aluminium base and reinforced with titanium, producing a surface that holds up considerably longer under the thermal cycling, metal utensil contact, and high-temperature cooking that are unavoidable in a working kitchen. The 6mm base provides good heat distribution and helps avoid localised hot spots — a common cause of coating failure in thinner pans.

For kitchen teams, the practical advantages include:

• Consistent non-stick release reduces the need for excess fat, supporting healthier menu output
• The traditional cast iron handle stays cool across most cooking methods and gives a secure grip during service
• Even base temperature supports reliable cooking results across multiple covers
• Easier cleaning compared to standard non-stick, extending usable life between replacements

At 1.25kg, this is not a lightweight pan, and that is intentional — the added mass contributes to thermal stability rather than rapid temperature swings. It suits professional hobs well but may feel heavy in kitchens where staff regularly work with several pans at once for extended periods.

This size is well suited to à la carte kitchens, hotel breakfast operations, and pub kitchens with consistent but moderate volume. For kitchens turning very high covers continuously, a larger or heavier-duty model may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this pan is the right fit for your operation or want to discuss the full Matfer Bourgeat range, the team is happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Elite Pro is a professional-grade non-stick frying pan designed for commercial kitchen use. The 240mm diameter makes it a practical everyday size for sautéing, pan-frying proteins, finishing sauces, and general à la carte work. It is fully induction compatible, making it suitable for both induction and conventional hob ranges.

What sets this pan apart from standard catering non-stick is the construction of its base. A sub-layer of ceramic compound plasma is applied and sealed to the base, then reinforced with titanium — a process that meaningfully extends coating life compared with conventional non-stick pans used under the same conditions. The extra-thick base also helps distribute heat more evenly, which matters during busy service when consistent cooking results are essential. The traditional cast iron handle provides a solid, familiar grip that holds up well over long shifts.

From a practical standpoint, this pan offers several advantages in a working kitchen:

• Induction compatible — works across a wide range of professional hob types
• Reinforced non-stick coating resists the wear and tear of daily commercial use
• Even heat distribution helps reduce hot spots and uneven cooking results
• Cast iron handle provides a robust, confident grip during service
• Suitable for protein cookery, sauce work, and general pan-frying tasks

This is a smallware purchase, but not a trivial one — non-stick pan quality directly affects food consistency and replacement costs over time. At 240mm, this is best suited to individual portion cooking rather than bulk preparation. Kitchens running high volumes across multiple sections may want to consider whether a larger diameter or heavier-duty model better matches their throughput requirements.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing an existing pan range and want to discuss which size or specification makes most sense for your operation, the team is happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef is a professional non-stick frying pan built for repeated daily use in commercial kitchens. At 160mm, it is the smaller end of the pan range — well suited to single-portion cooking, finishing sauces, or preparing garnishes alongside a busier main cook line. The construction combines an aluminium body with a multi-coat non-stick surface applied across four layers, which gives it a more durable cooking surface than single or double-coat pans commonly found at lower price points.

In a working kitchen environment, the four-coat non-stick surface helps maintain consistent food release through prolonged service without requiring excessive fat, which is a practical consideration both for portion consistency and for kitchens mindful of dietary requirements. The lightweight build — appropriate for a pan of this size — makes it comfortable to handle during fast-paced service, and the coating holds up reasonably well when utensil discipline is maintained. As with all non-stick cookware, longevity is closely tied to care: avoiding metal utensils and abrasive cleaning methods will significantly extend the working life of the surface.

• Consistent food release reduces reliance on added fats during service
• Lightweight construction suits rapid single-portion work at the stove
• Multi-coat non-stick surface more durable than budget single-coat alternatives
• Compatible with gas and electric hobs; check manufacturer guidance for induction use
• Easy to clean by hand, reducing turnaround time between services

The 160mm diameter makes this most practical as a secondary or supporting pan rather than a primary workhorse for high-volume output. Sites needing to cook larger portions or handle higher throughput in a single pan should consider a larger diameter from the same range. It is a sensible choice for smaller operations, prep kitchens, or as part of a set covering multiple portion sizes.

If you are putting together a pan kit or are unsure which sizes would cover your service requirements, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your kitchen setup.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef is a professional non-stick frying pan built for everyday use in commercial kitchens. Constructed with an aluminium core bonded with stainless steel, it combines the heat conductivity needed for responsive cooking with the durability expected in a busy service environment. The non-stick coating is applied in four layers, which provides a meaningfully longer service life than single or double-coat alternatives — a practical consideration when pans are in constant rotation across multiple services.

In a working kitchen, non-stick coating longevity depends heavily on build quality. The four-coat construction here holds up better against the kind of thermal cycling and daily cleaning that wears through lighter-built cookware far sooner. At 360mm, this is a larger-format pan suited to sautéing portions, cooking proteins to order, or handling batches that would overcrowd a smaller pan — useful in à la carte operations where speed and presentation both matter.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Four-layer non-stick coating for extended working life under heavy use
• Stainless steel and aluminium construction for even, responsive heat distribution
• Larger cooking surface reduces the need to work in multiple batches
• Suitable for gas and electric hobs commonly found in commercial kitchens
• Smooth non-stick surface supports faster cleaning between services

It is worth noting that non-stick cookware of any specification requires proper care — avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaning methods to preserve the coating. For very high-volume operations running pans continuously across long services, a heavier-duty carbon steel or cast option may prove more cost-effective over time.

This pan is well suited to smaller restaurants, café kitchens, and operations where a reliable non-stick surface is needed for eggs, fish, and delicate proteins. If you are equipping a larger brigade or need guidance on matching pan sizes to your menu, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef is a professional non-stick frying pan designed for use in commercial kitchens. Built from a combination of aluminium and stainless steel, it offers the heat distribution properties of aluminium alongside a more robust construction suited to the demands of catering service. The non-stick cooking surface is applied in four coats, giving it greater durability than single or double-coat alternatives commonly found in lower-specification pans.

In a working kitchen environment, the quality of a non-stick coating matters most during high-tempo service when pans are used repeatedly across shifts. The multi-coat finish on the Classe Chef holds up better under sustained use and reduces the risk of food adhesion breaking down the surface prematurely. This translates to more consistent cooking results and a longer useful life before replacement is needed.

From an operational standpoint, the pan offers several practical advantages:

• Four-coat non-stick surface for extended coating life under frequent use
• Aluminium core supports even heat distribution across the base
• Stainless steel elements contribute to structural durability
• 320mm diameter suits portion cooking and sauté work across a range of services
• Straightforward to clean, reducing turnaround time between covers

At 320mm, this is a mid-to-large frying pan suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where individual portions or small batches are cooked to order. It is worth noting that non-stick pans of any specification require careful handling — metal utensils and abrasive cleaning will shorten coating life regardless of quality. For very high-volume operations running continuous frying, a carbon steel or cast iron alternative may prove more economical over time.

This pan is a practical choice for operations that need reliable non-stick performance and even heat across daily service. If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing existing cookware and want to discuss what suits your service style, the team is happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef is a professional non-stick frying pan designed for regular use in commercial kitchen environments. Built on an aluminium body with a four-coat non-stick surface, it offers consistent heat distribution and a cooking surface intended to hold up over sustained daily use rather than the lighter demands of occasional service.

In a working kitchen the multi-coat finish makes a practical difference. It reduces the need for excessive fats or oils, supports cleaner release of delicate proteins and eggs, and makes wiping down between services quicker. The 280mm diameter suits a wide range of tasks — from sautéing portions of vegetables to finishing individual meat dishes — without the weight penalty that can come with larger pans.

• Four-coat non-stick surface for extended service life and easy release
• Aluminium construction supports even heat distribution across the base
• Suitable for gas and solid-top ranges commonly found in commercial kitchens
• 280mm diameter handles standard single-portion and small-batch cookery
• Smooth interior aids quick wipe-down between covers

It is worth noting that non-stick pans of any specification require reasonable care to preserve the coating — metal utensils and abrasive cleaning materials will shorten the working life of any coated surface, and this pan is no exception. It is not intended for high-temperature searing tasks where an uncoated carbon steel or cast iron pan would typically be the more appropriate choice.

This pan is well suited to kitchens running regular à la carte service, hotel breakfast operations, or anywhere a reliable non-stick surface is needed for daily egg, fish, or delicate protein work. If your operation demands heavier output or very high heat throughout a long service, it is worth considering whether a more robust pan specification would better match your usage pattern.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing cookware across a brigade, we are happy to talk through which sizes and surface types make the most sense for your menu and service style.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef is a professional non-stick frying pan built for day-to-day commercial kitchen use. Constructed from aluminium with a stainless steel base, it offers the even heat distribution that aluminium is well regarded for, while the reinforced base adds stability on both gas and solid-top ranges.

The cooking surface is coated four times, which meaningfully extends the working life of the non-stick finish under regular service conditions. In a busy kitchen environment where pans are in near-constant rotation, that additional coating depth translates to a surface that holds up better against the daily wear of utensils, cleaning cycles, and thermal cycling than lighter single-coat alternatives.

For the brigade, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Four-layer non-stick coating for extended surface durability
• Even heat distribution reduces hot spots and inconsistent cooking
• Lightweight aluminium construction reduces fatigue during extended service
• Non-stick finish supports cleaner food release and faster pan turnaround
• Easier cleaning between covers compared with bare metal alternatives

At 240mm, this pan is a practical size for single-portion work — eggs, fish fillets, pan sauces, and similar prep. It is not intended for high-heat searing or induction hobs unless the hob is compatible with the pan's base construction, so it is worth confirming your heat source before ordering. Non-stick pans of this type also benefit from the team following correct temperature and utensil guidelines to preserve the coating over time.

This pan is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub kitchens, and smaller à la carte services where non-stick performance and ease of cleaning are priorities. For kitchens running higher volumes or requiring a larger cooking surface, heavier-duty or larger-diameter options are available within the range.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing an existing batterie de cuisine and want guidance on which sizes and styles will work best for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef is a professional non-stick frying pan built for daily use in commercial kitchens. The 200mm diameter makes it a practical choice for single-portion cooking — omelettes, pan sauces, fish portions, and similar tasks where a smaller, responsive pan is more useful than a larger one.

The pan is constructed from aluminium with a stainless steel base, which gives it good heat distribution across the cooking surface while keeping the overall weight manageable during a busy service. The non-stick coating is applied in four layers, which contributes to longer working life under regular use compared with lighter single-coat alternatives.

In practical terms, this pan suits kitchens where speed and consistency matter. The coating releases food cleanly with minimal fat, which helps with both plating and cleaning between covers. Key operational advantages include:

• Four-coat non-stick surface for extended durability under frequent use
• Aluminium construction for responsive, even heat distribution
• Stainless steel base for compatibility with induction hobs
• Manageable weight suited to high-repetition service tasks
• Easy to clean between courses during a busy pass

At 200mm, this is a smaller pan, well suited to à la carte service and single-portion work rather than batch cooking or larger cuts. Kitchens needing to handle larger portions or higher volumes at once would be better served by a larger diameter from the same range.

If you are building out a batterie de cuisine and want to talk through which sizes make sense for your menu and service style, the team is happy to help.

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 Matfer Bourgeat 260mm non-stick frying pan is a professional-grade aluminium pan with a four-coat non-stick surface, designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. The aluminium construction promotes even heat distribution across the base, which helps reduce hot spots that can cause sticking or uneven cooking.

In a working kitchen environment, the four-layer non-stick coating offers more durability than single or double-coat pans commonly found at the lower end of the market. It holds up reasonably well under regular service use, though as with any non-stick surface, care with utensils and cleaning will extend its working life considerably.

Practical benefits in day-to-day service include:

• Even heat spread from the aluminium body for consistent cooking results
• Multi-coat non-stick surface reduces the need for excessive oil or fat
• Relatively lightweight construction at 860g, reducing fatigue on the pass
• Easier cleaning between service periods compared to bare metal alternatives
• Reliable performance for eggs, fish, delicate proteins, and sauté work

At 260mm diameter, this pan is a mid-size option well suited to à la carte cooking, single-portion work, and smaller sauté tasks. It is not designed for high-heat induction hobs unless confirmed compatible, and non-stick surfaces generally require lower to medium heat settings to preserve the coating — worth noting when training kitchen staff in its use.

This pan suits café kitchens, pub restaurants, hotel operations, and small to medium brigade kitchens where non-stick performance and ease of cleaning are priorities over the raw searing capability of carbon steel or cast iron. For kitchens needing a pan more suited to very high heat or induction cooking, a different material may be worth considering.

If you are building out a cookware set or unsure which size or surface suits your menu best, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Matfer Bourgeat 220mm non-stick frying pan is a professional-grade aluminium-bodied pan designed for daily use in commercial kitchens. The cooking surface is coated four times, which gives it a more durable non-stick finish than single or double-coat alternatives — a practical consideration in a kitchen where pans take regular punishment from hob use, cleaning, and storage.

In a working kitchen environment, this size sits comfortably in the range used for individual portions, omelettes, sautéed garnishes, and à la carte work. The 220mm diameter is well suited to single-serving output and is a common choice in brigade kitchens where multiple pans run simultaneously on a busy section.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Four-coat non-stick surface provides extended working life under regular use
• Aluminium construction supports even heat distribution across the cooking surface
• Practical size for single-portion and à la carte cooking
• Lightweight enough for fast, repeated use during service
• Compatible with gas and electric hob surfaces

It is worth noting that non-stick pans of any specification require some care to maintain the coating — metal utensils and abrasive cleaning will shorten the lifespan regardless of coating thickness. In kitchens with high turnover, having spare pans in rotation is common practice.

This pan is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where à la carte or breakfast service demands reliable non-stick performance at portion scale. For operations needing larger batch cooking, bigger diameter options in the same range may be more appropriate.

If you are equipping a section and want to discuss quantities or which sizes suit your menu, we are happy to help you work that out.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Pro is a 32cm non-stick frying pan manufactured in France and intended specifically for professional kitchen use. It combines a stainless steel body with a multi-layer non-stick interior, giving it the durability and food-release performance that commercial cooks rely on through a full service day.

At 32cm this is a practical all-round size for a working range. It handles portion batches of eggs, fish, and delicate proteins cleanly, manages sautéed vegetables and finished sauces without sticking, and sits comfortably on a standard burner without becoming unwieldy during a busy pass. The stainless steel construction responds well to direct heat and is built to tolerate the repeated heating and cooling cycles that commercial cooking places on cookware.

Key operational advantages include:

• Multi-layer non-stick surface supports clean release with minimal added fat
• Stainless steel body withstands the thermal cycling of daily service
• 32cm diameter handles portion batches efficiently without overcrowding
• At under 1.8kg, manageable for extended service periods without fatigue
• French manufacture to Matfer Bourgeat's established professional standards

Non-stick cookware does require care in a commercial setting. Metal utensils will shorten coating life, and staying within the manufacturer's temperature guidance matters more in a busy kitchen than it might seem. With reasonable handling this pan will perform reliably, but kitchens running very high-volume repetitive tasks — continuous egg cookery or dedicated crêpe production, for example — may find a purpose-built or heavier-gauge option a better long-term fit.

This pan suits small to medium operations well: cafés, hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, and catering teams where a versatile, well-made non-stick pan covers a broad range of daily tasks. If you are specifying cookware across a kitchen and want to talk through which sizes and finishes make sense for your menu, the team is glad to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Pro is a 28cm non-stick frying pan designed for professional kitchen use.

In a working kitchen environment, the pan's non-stick surface supports consistent food release across a wide range of cooking tasks — from eggs and fish to sautéed vegetables and delicate proteins — without relying on excessive oil or butter. The stainless steel construction keeps it stable under repeated heating and cooling cycles, which matters in kitchens where pans are in near-constant rotation through a service period.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Multi-layer non-stick coating supports cleaner food release with less added fat
• Stainless steel body resists warping under sustained kitchen use
• French manufacture to Matfer Bourgeat's professional specification standards
• Straightforward to clean between covers without specialist care
• Consistent pan size supports portion control and plating accuracy

At 28cm, this pan sits comfortably within the mid-range of frying pan sizes used in professional kitchens. It suits à la carte cooking rather than high-volume batch work — if your kitchen runs large quantities simultaneously, a bigger pan or multiple units may be more practical. It's well suited to smaller brigade kitchens, private dining operations, hotel room service setups, and catering environments where controlled individual cooking is the norm.

If you're building out a cookware set or want to talk through which sizes and quantities make sense for your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Pro is a professional non-stick frying pan manufactured in France. The 24cm diameter covers a practical range of everyday cooking tasks — eggs, fish, delicate proteins, pan sauces, and sautéed vegetables — where reliable surface release and even heat contact are more important than sheer volume output.

Matfer Bourgeat has a long-established presence in professional kitchens, and the Tradition Pro range reflects that. The multi-layer non-stick interior is built to hold its release performance through repeated use, rather than degrading quickly as lower-grade coatings tend to. The stainless steel body keeps the pan stable through regular heating and cooling cycles, and at under 800g it sits in a comfortable weight range for line cooks working at pace across a full service.

• Multi-layer non-stick interior maintains consistent food release over time
• Lightweight stainless steel construction reduces fatigue during busy service
• Compatible with gas and induction ranges
• Easy to clean between covers, reducing turnaround time mid-service
• Made in France to Matfer Bourgeat's professional kitchen standards

This is a pan well suited to small and medium operations where a reliable everyday non-stick is in regular rotation. It handles well on both gas and induction, and the non-stick surface keeps cleaning straightforward when covers are turning quickly. For kitchens that need a larger cooking surface or are putting the pan through very high-frequency use, a larger diameter or heavier-duty option within the range may be worth considering.

If you are putting together a cookware set or want to talk through which sizes and finishes make most sense for your menu, the team is glad to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Pro is a professional non-stick frying pan manufactured in France, built specifically for the demands of commercial kitchen use. The 20cm diameter makes it a practical choice for single-portion cooking, sauces, eggs, and small pan work across a range of service styles.

The pan uses a four-layer cross-coating non-stick system applied over a thick aluminium base. That combination gives you even heat distribution across the cooking surface and a durable non-stick finish that holds up under the repeated use and regular cleaning that professional kitchens demand. The coating is PFOA free, which is an important consideration for operators mindful of food safety standards. At 622g, it sits at a sensible working weight — substantial enough to feel solid in use without causing fatigue during a busy service.

In practice, this pan suits kitchens where speed and consistency matter. The non-stick surface reduces the amount of fat needed per portion, supports quick release, and simplifies cleaning between covers. Useful operational advantages include:

• Consistent heat distribution for reliable, even cooking results
• PFOA-free four-layer coating suitable for health-conscious operations
• Thick aluminium base supports responsive temperature control
• Lightweight enough for frequent handling through a full service
• Easy-release surface reduces fat usage and speeds up cleaning

The 20cm size is well suited to à la carte work, breakfast service, and smaller-batch cooking. It is less appropriate for high-volume batch frying or where a larger cooking surface is needed — for those applications a larger pan from the same range would be worth considering.

If you are building out a cookware set or are unsure which sizes will work best across your menu, the team are happy to talk through what makes practical sense for your operation.

The Matfer Bourgeat Elite Pro is a professional non-stick frying pan built for daily use in commercial kitchens. The 200mm diameter makes it a practical choice for single-portion cooking — omelettes, eggs, fish portions, and pan sauces — where control and a reliable non-stick surface matter more than volume. The pan is constructed from a stainless steel and aluminium combination, which gives it both the structural integrity expected of a professional piece and the even heat distribution that aluminium provides.

The non-stick coating is reinforced with titanium, which improves durability under regular use compared with standard non-stick surfaces. In a working kitchen, that translates to a coating that holds up better against metal utensils, repeated high-heat cycles, and the rigours of daily cleaning. The cast iron handle stays firm under heat and gives a confident, balanced grip through service.

• Titanium-reinforced non-stick coating for extended working life
• Aluminium and stainless steel construction for even, responsive heat distribution
• Full induction compatibility across all hob types
• Cast iron handle rated for commercial kitchen conditions
• 200mm diameter suited to single-portion and à la carte service

Being induction compatible means it works across all common hob types, including induction ranges increasingly common in professional kitchens. At 200mm, this is a smaller pan by commercial standards — well suited to à la carte menus, breakfast service, or as part of a matched set where multiple pan sizes are used across a section. For operations needing higher volume output or larger portion sizes, a bigger diameter within the Elite Pro range would be worth considering.

If you're building out a pan set or want guidance on what sizes suit your menu and section layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
