Matfer Bourgeat Sauce Pans

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence saucepan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. It comes supplied with a matching lid and holds 3.4 litres, making it a practical size for sauces, stocks, and accompaniments across a range of service styles. Matfer Bourgeat produce this range to bring their build quality to a more accessible price point without compromising on the durability expected in a working kitchen.

In practice, stainless steel construction handles the heat cycling, knocks, and continuous washing that commercial pans endure. The pan is induction compatible, which is increasingly important as kitchens move towards induction hobs or supplement gas ranges with portable induction units. The lid helps retain heat during holding, which is useful when managing multiple components during a busy service.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hob types
• Lid included as standard, supporting heat retention during service
• Stainless steel construction withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• A practical 3.4Ltr capacity suits sauces and side preparations at most cover levels
• Backed by a 10-year warranty, reflecting the build quality of the Excellence range

No specialist installation is required. This pan suits any kitchen with a compatible hob, including solid top, gas burner, electric, and induction surfaces. At 20cm, it is a mid-sized pan — well suited to à la carte sections, banqueting prep, and smaller production kitchens. For very high-volume sauce work or larger batch cooking, a bigger capacity pan from the range would be worth considering.

If you are equipping a new section or replacing ageing cookware and would like a steer on sizes or quantities for your service style, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Flared Sauté Pan is a heavy-duty stainless steel pan designed for professional kitchen use. The flared sides allow liquids to reduce efficiently and make it straightforward to turn or toss ingredients without catching the rim. At 280mm in diameter with a capacity of 4.7 litres, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for sauté work — large enough for batch cooking through a busy service, without being unwieldy on a standard range burner.

In a working kitchen environment this pan holds up well under repeated daily use. The reinforced non-drip edge reduces spillage when pouring and helps maintain a cleaner cooking station during service. The ultra-thick bumper construction gives the pan its weight and stability on the hob, and resists the warping that thinner alternatives can develop over time with intense heat cycling.

• Compatible with all cooking surfaces, including induction hobs
• Reinforced non-drip edge reduces mess when pouring sauces
• Stay-cool handle reduces the need for cloths during active service
• Robust wall and base construction resists warping under repeated high-heat use
• Stainless steel finish supports straightforward cleaning and maintenance

There are no special installation requirements — this is a standalone piece of cookware that works across gas, electric, and induction surfaces. It is worth noting that lids are sold separately, so if covered simmering or resting is part of your intended use, you will need to account for that. At just under 2kg the pan has a solid feel in the hand, which suits most cooks, though some may find extended single-handed use with a full load tiring.

This pan is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations that need reliable, general-purpose sauté cookware. It works across a range of service styles — from à la carte sauce work to volume catering. If your operation requires significantly larger batch sizes or a heavier-gauge pan for very high-frequency use, it is worth considering whether a larger capacity model would better match your throughput.

If you are building out a cookware set or are unsure which size best fits your menu and cooking style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Flared Sauté Pan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan designed for consistent use across all types of commercial cooking surfaces, including induction. The flared rim profile makes it well suited to techniques that require regular tossing, reducing, or finishing — offering better access and control than a straight-sided saucepan of equivalent capacity.

In a busy kitchen environment, this pan holds up to the demands of continuous service. The heavy-duty stainless steel construction resists warping under high heat, and the reinforced non-drip edge helps keep work surfaces and burner areas cleaner during service — a small detail that makes a noticeable difference over a long shift. At 3 litres capacity, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for sauce work, braising small portions, or finishing dishes to order.

Key practical advantages include:

• Works on all cooking surfaces, including induction, gas, and solid tops
• Stay-cool handle reduces the need for cloth handling during service
• Non-drip reinforced rim supports cleaner pouring and reduces mess
• Heavy-duty construction maintains shape and performance over time
• Compatible with separately sold lids, adding versatility for holding or slow work

There are no installation requirements — this is freestanding cookware that moves between stations as needed. It is worth noting that lids are sold separately, so operators who need covered cooking functionality should factor that into their order.

This pan is a practical choice for restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering environments where reliability and cross-hob flexibility matter. It is best suited to mid-volume sauce, reduction, and finishing work. Kitchens with higher-volume demands or a need for larger batch cooking may find a bigger capacity pan more appropriate for their workflow.

If you are building out a cookware set or want guidance on which sizes best suit your specific service style, our team is happy to help you work through it.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Flared Sauté Pan is a heavy-duty stainless steel pan from a long-established professional cookware range. The 200mm diameter with a 2.8 litre capacity puts it firmly in the mid-range for single-portion or small-batch work — practical for sauce reductions, sautéed garnishes, or finishing dishes during service.

Matfer Bourgeat's Tradition Plus range is built with professional kitchen environments in mind. The reinforced non-drip edge reduces spillage when pouring sauces or transferring liquids at pace, which matters when a brigade is working quickly under pressure. The stay-cool handle is designed to remain manageable during extended stove use, and the construction is substantial enough to withstand daily use across a busy service without warping or deteriorating.

From a practical standpoint, this pan works across all cooking surfaces including induction, which gives operators flexibility across different kitchen configurations. Key practical points to consider:

• Compatible with all hob types including induction
• Reinforced non-drip edge for cleaner, controlled pouring
• Stay-cool handle reduces handling risk during service
• Stainless steel construction is robust and straightforward to clean
• Lids are sold separately — worth factoring in if covering is needed

At 200mm this is a single-cook, task-specific pan rather than a high-volume batch cooking vessel. It suits stations where precise, small-quantity work is needed — sauce work, reductions, or à la minute finishing. For operations needing larger batch capacity, the Tradition Plus range includes larger diameter options.

If you are building out a new section of the range or unsure which sizes suit your menu best, we are happy to talk through what would work for your service style and volume.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus saucepan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan built for everyday commercial use. At 5.4 litres, it sits comfortably in the mid-range of the Tradition Plus line — large enough for batch sauces, soups, and stocks, while remaining practical to handle during a busy service.

Matfer Bourgeat have a long-standing reputation in professional kitchen equipment, and the Tradition Plus range reflects that. The pan is constructed from heavy-gauge stainless steel with a reinforced, non-drip pouring edge — a small detail that matters when sauces need to be transferred cleanly at speed. The handle is designed to stay cool during normal stovetop use, which reduces the risk of burns when staff are working quickly. The base is compatible with all cooking surfaces, including induction, making it a reliable choice whether you are fitting out a new kitchen or adding to an existing setup with mixed hob types.

In practical terms, this pan works well across a range of kitchen environments:

• Heavy-gauge construction holds up well under repeated daily use
• Non-drip edge supports cleaner plating and sauce transfer
• Induction-compatible base suits kitchens running mixed or induction-only ranges
• Stay-cool handle reduces burn risk during high-tempo service
• Straightforward to clean and maintain as part of a standard pot-wash routine

There are no unusual installation or infrastructure requirements — this is a standalone piece of cookware. It is worth noting that lids are sold separately, so if a lid is needed for your intended use, that will require a separate order. At 2.14kg, the pan has a solid feel without being unwieldy.

The 5.4-litre capacity suits small to medium service volumes — it is a practical workhorse pan for cafés, pub kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering environments. For higher-volume operations producing larger batch quantities, a bigger capacity within the same range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your service volumes or hob setup, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus saucepan is a heavy-duty stainless steel pan designed for daily use across professional kitchen environments. Built to Matfer Bourgeat's established Tradition Plus standard, it offers a straightforward, no-compromise construction suited to the demands of continuous service.

In a working kitchen, a pan at this capacity handles sauces, reductions, stocks, and accompaniments for steady service volumes without being unwieldy on a busy range. The reinforced non-drip edge helps reduce spillage during pouring, which matters during a fast-paced service, and the ultra-thick bumper provides additional robustness against the knocks and contact that are unavoidable in a commercial environment. Recovery after adding cold ingredients is consistent with what you would expect from a well-constructed stainless steel pan on a commercial burner.

• Induction-compatible base works across gas, electric, and induction cooking surfaces
• Reinforced non-drip edge reduces spillage when pouring during service
• Heavy-duty construction withstands the rigours of daily commercial use
• Stay-cool, watertight handle for safe, secure handling at pace
• Compatible with separately available lids to suit covered cooking requirements

There are no special installation requirements — these pans work with any standard commercial cooking surface, including induction. They are dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning. At 3.3 litres, this size sits comfortably in the mid-range for sauce work; kitchens with higher batch volumes may find a larger capacity more practical for main production, though this size remains useful as a secondary or garnish pan in most brigade setups.

This pan is well suited to restaurants, hotels, contract catering operations, and pub kitchens requiring reliable, multi-surface cookware that holds up to regular use. If you are equipping a larger kitchen and need guidance on building out a cookware set across sizes and types, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus saucepan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan designed for demanding kitchen environments. Built to a heavy-duty specification, it is intended for everyday use across a wide range of cooking tasks — from reducing sauces and heating stocks to gentle simmering during service. The reinforced non-drip rim helps keep pours controlled, which matters when speed and accuracy both count during a busy pass.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the pan handles repeated heating and cooling cycles without issue. The base is compatible with all cooking surfaces, including induction, which makes it a practical choice for kitchens that run mixed or induction-only hob setups. The stay-cool handle reduces the risk of burns during handling, and the watertight seal between handle and body avoids the moisture traps that can cause hygiene problems over time.

• Works across all hob types, including induction
• Reinforced non-drip rim for cleaner, more controlled pouring
• Stay-cool handle for safer handling at speed
• Watertight handle join supports easier cleaning and better hygiene
• Robust construction suited to repeated daily use in commercial kitchens

At 1.7 litres, this is a smaller pan best suited to individual sauce work, portioned reductions, or tasks where precision quantities matter. It is not intended for high-volume batch cooking — kitchens needing larger capacity should look at heavier-gauge options further up the range. Lids are sold separately, so factor that in if covered simmering is part of the intended use.

If you are equipping a section with multiple pan sizes or want to discuss which capacities suit your specific service style, we are happy to help you work through that before you order.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus is a stainless steel saucepan designed for professional kitchen use. At 1.2 litres, it sits at the smaller end of the range, making it well suited to sauces, reductions, and small-batch preparations where precision and consistent heat response matter more than volume.

In a working kitchen environment, the build quality of a saucepan tends to show over time rather than immediately. The Tradition Plus is constructed with a reinforced non-drip edge and a thick rim profile, which holds up well to daily use and reduces the kind of wear around the pouring edge that cheaper pans develop after repeated service cycles. The stay-cool handle provides a secure, practical grip without the need for a cloth during short movements on the stove, which matters when the section is busy.

Practically, this pan works across all cooking surfaces, including induction, making it a reliable choice for kitchens that have already moved to induction hobs or are planning to. Key operational advantages include:

• Compatible with all hob types, including induction
• Reinforced non-drip pouring edge for controlled service
• Stay-cool handle reduces handling risk during busy periods
• Robust stainless steel construction suited to daily professional use
• Lids available separately, allowing flexible pairing across the range

At this capacity, the pan is best suited to small garnish-level sauce work, individual portion preparation, or mise en place tasks rather than bulk production. Kitchens needing to hold or produce larger quantities at pace should look at higher-capacity options within the Tradition Plus range.

If you are building out a set or are unsure which sizes best suit your station layout and service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence saute pan is a mid-sized, heavy-duty stainless steel pan designed for professional kitchen use. At 280mm diameter with a 5.5 litre capacity, it sits comfortably in the working range for sauce reductions, pan sauces, sautéed garnishes, and general stove-top cookery across a variety of service contexts.

In a busy kitchen environment, build quality matters. The Excellence range is constructed to withstand the demands of daily professional use — repeated high-heat exposure, frequent cleaning, and the general rigours of a working kitchen. The stainless steel construction resists warping under sustained heat and handles the kind of handling that would shorten the life of lighter domestic-grade cookware. The 10-year warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the longevity of the product.

From an operational standpoint, this pan suits a number of common kitchen tasks well:

• Induction compatible, making it suitable for modern induction hob installations
• Stainless steel interior allows for deglazing and acidic sauces without reactive concerns
• Proportions suited to small-batch work and à la carte service
• Relatively lightweight at just over 2kg, reducing fatigue over a long service
• Easy to clean and maintain with standard commercial dishwashing

This is a practical, single-piece addition to a kitchen's cookware stock rather than a specialist item. It works across most heat sources, including induction, and does not require any particular installation consideration beyond having a compatible hob or range. Storage is straightforward given the dimensions.

The 280mm pan is well suited to smaller brigades, starter sets, or kitchens building out their cookware range. For higher-volume operations needing larger batch capacity, broader options in the range are worth considering. Equally, for lighter or less frequent use, a smaller pan from the same range may suffice.

If you're putting together a cookware package or want to make sure the sizing is right for your service style, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence sauté pan is a straightforward, well-made stainless steel pan from a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in professional kitchens. The 240mm diameter offers a practical working surface for sautéing, reducing, and shallow frying across a range of service contexts. At 3.6 litres capacity it sits comfortably in the mid-range for a pan of this type — large enough for batch work on a section, manageable enough for single-cover plating tasks.

Stainless steel construction means the pan handles the temperature cycling that comes with continuous service without warping or degrading over time. The induction-compatible base means it can move between induction hobs and conventional gas or electric ranges without issue — useful in kitchens running mixed hob types or where future equipment changes are likely. At under 750g the pan is light enough to use comfortably through a full service without placing unnecessary strain on kitchen staff.

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

• Induction-compatible base suits kitchens running mixed or induction hob setups
• Stainless steel construction resists staining and cleans down efficiently
• Lightweight build reduces fatigue during extended service periods
• Straightforward design with no complex components or coatings to maintain
• Matfer Bourgeat's 10-year warranty reflects confidence in long-term durability

There are no particular installation requirements for a pan of this type — it works across gas, electric, and induction hobs. It is worth confirming hob ring diameter where kitchen setups use fixed-size burners, as a 240mm base performs best on a ring of compatible size.

This pan is well suited to professional kitchens looking for reliable day-to-day cookware without excessive outlay. It fits naturally in restaurants, contract catering, and pub kitchens where pans see regular rotation and need to perform consistently without special handling. For sites needing larger capacity or heavier-gauge construction for particularly demanding environments, alternatives within the range may be worth considering.

If you are building out a cookware inventory and want guidance on sizes or quantities for your specific service volumes, the team is happy to help you put together a practical selection.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence sauté pan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan from one of France's most established cookware manufacturers. The 200mm diameter makes it a practical size for single-portion sautéing, pan sauces, and quick-fire garnish work at the stove. Induction compatible, it moves comfortably between induction, gas, and electric ranges without any adaptation.

In a busy kitchen environment, the Excellence range is built to hold up under repeated daily use. Stainless steel construction resists warping and corrosion, and the pan's weight — just under a kilogram — gives it enough substance to sit steadily on the burner without being cumbersome to handle during service. The broad, flat cooking surface allows even heat distribution, which matters when you need consistent results across a full section service.

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

• Induction compatible — works across all common heat sources without additional kit
• Stainless steel body resists staining and is straightforward to clean
• Balanced weight makes it manageable during extended service periods
• Backed by a ten-year warranty, reflecting the build quality of the Excellence range
• A practical size for single-portion work, saucing, and à la carte service

At 200mm, this is best suited to à la carte or small-batch cooking rather than bulk production. Kitchens handling large banquet volumes or high-throughput sauce work may find a larger diameter more efficient. Equally, for operations that only occasionally need a sauté pan, this size offers versatility without taking up unnecessary storage space.

If you're building out a cookware set or want to talk through which sizes suit your menu and service style, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence saucepan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan from one of the most established names in commercial cookware. Straightforward in purpose, it is built to handle the daily demands of a working kitchen — stocks, sauces, reductions, and general stove-top cookery — without fuss or compromise on durability.

In practice, this is the kind of pan that earns its place on a busy sauce section. The stainless steel construction holds up well to continuous use across shifts, resists staining from acidic ingredients, and cleans down quickly at the end of service. Induction compatibility makes it a practical choice for kitchens running induction hobs, whether as primary cooking positions or as flexible supplementary stations.

From an operational standpoint, the Excellence range offers a reliable combination of build quality and everyday practicality:

• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hobs without additional kit
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is straightforward to clean and sanitise
• A manageable weight for frequent handling during a busy service
• Backed by a 10-year warranty, which reflects the quality Matfer Bourgeat build into this range

No specialist installation is required — this is a direct drop-in addition to an existing cookware inventory. The 5.4-litre capacity suits a wide range of sauce and stock work, though kitchens producing larger batch volumes may find it more useful as a secondary pan rather than a primary production vessel.

This saucepan is well suited to professional kitchens of most sizes — from smaller independent restaurants to larger brigade kitchens needing reliable, consistent workhorses on the stove. For sites with very high batch volumes, a larger-capacity pan from the same range may be worth considering.

If you are building out or refreshing a cookware inventory and want to talk through quantities or size configurations, the team is happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence saucepan is a stainless steel professional cooking pan designed for everyday sauce, stock, and liquid preparation work in commercial kitchens. It sits within Matfer Bourgeat's Excellence range, which is intended to deliver the manufacturer's build standards at a more accessible price point than their premium lines. The 3.4Ltr capacity and 200mm diameter make this a practical mid-sized pan for a wide range of kitchen tasks.

In service, this size handles sauces, gravies, reductions, and small-batch stocks reliably without taking up unnecessary hob space. The stainless steel construction holds up well to daily professional use — resisting warping, staining, and the kind of rough handling that comes with a busy pass. Induction compatibility means it works equally well on gas, electric, and induction ranges, which is a useful consideration where kitchens are updating or running mixed hob setups.

From an operational standpoint, stainless steel at this gauge offers a few clear advantages in a kitchen environment:

• Non-reactive surface — suitable for acidic sauces and reductions without affecting flavour
• Straightforward to clean and maintain between services
• Compatible across all hob types, including induction
• Durable enough for daily high-volume use without specialist care

There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone piece of cookware. It carries a 10-year warranty, which reflects confidence in the build quality at this price tier. For kitchens producing sauces at higher volumes or requiring larger batch sizes, a bigger capacity pan from the same range may be the more practical choice.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or standardising your saucepan stock and want to talk through what sizes and quantities would work best for your service, the team is happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence range is a line of professional stainless steel cookware designed to deliver the build quality the brand is known for at a more accessible price point. This 2.2 litre saucepan is a practical, everyday piece suited to sauce work, reductions, blanching small quantities, and general stove-top tasks across a busy service.

In a working kitchen, pans at this capacity earn their place on the stove throughout the day. The stainless steel construction handles repeated heating and cooling without warping, and the induction-compatible base means it works across both gas and induction hobs — a useful quality where kitchens are moving away from gas or running mixed hob setups. At just under 900g, it sits in a comfortable weight range for repeated daily handling without being flimsy.

The practical advantages of a well-made saucepan at this size include:

• Compatible with induction, gas, and electric hob surfaces
• Stainless steel construction resists staining and is straightforward to clean
• Consistent heat distribution supports accurate sauce and reduction work
• Robust enough for continuous service use without deforming
• Backed by a 10-year warranty, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in the build

There are no unusual installation requirements — this is a standard stove-top pan. It is worth considering whether a 2.2 litre capacity suits your typical batch sizes; for higher-volume sauce or soup work, a larger capacity pan from the same range may be more appropriate.

This pan is well suited to most professional kitchen environments — from small independent restaurants and café kitchens through to larger operations where a reliable, mid-size saucepan is needed across multiple stations. If you are equipping a kitchen from scratch or building out a cookware set and want to talk through what sizes and quantities make sense for your operation, the team is happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence saucepan is a 1.6-litre stainless steel pan from one of France's most established professional cookware manufacturers. It sits within the Excellence range, which is positioned to deliver Matfer Bourgeat's manufacturing standards at a more accessible price point than their premium lines — making it a practical choice where quality matters but budget is a consideration.

In a working kitchen environment, pans at this capacity are typically used for small-batch sauce work, reductions, melting, and mise en place preparation. The stainless steel construction handles daily heat cycling well and resists the warping that can affect lighter cookware over time. Induction compatibility makes it straightforwardly usable across modern induction suites as well as gas and conventional electric hobs, which is useful if your kitchen runs a mixed or recently upgraded range.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages of this pan are:

• Induction compatible — suitable for use across gas, electric, and induction hobs
• Stainless steel construction — durable, non-reactive, and straightforward to clean
• Lightweight enough for fast, repetitive use during service
• Backed by a 10-year warranty, reflecting confidence in the build quality
• A proven professional brand with consistent quality control

At 1.6 litres, this is a small-capacity pan best suited to single-portion sauces, finishing work, or prep tasks rather than batch cooking. Kitchens needing larger volumes will want to consider higher-capacity options within the same range or a heavier-gauge line for more intensive continuous use.

This pan works well in professional kitchens of all sizes — from small independent restaurants to larger brigade kitchens where multiple pans of this size are kept in rotation. It is equally at home in a private dining or events kitchen where precision sauce work is routine.

If you are equipping a full batterie or are unsure which sizes best suit your service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence saucepan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan from one of France's most established cookware manufacturers. At one litre capacity, this is a smaller pan intended for sauces, reductions, and small-batch preparation rather than high-volume production work. It is induction compatible, making it a practical choice for kitchens running induction hobs alongside conventional gas or electric ranges.

Matfer Bourgeat's Excellence range is positioned as their everyday professional line — robust enough for commercial kitchen use and designed to perform consistently across a busy service without the premium price of their top-tier ranges. The stainless steel construction handles the rigours of daily kitchen use well, resisting warping and standing up to repeated high-heat cycles. At this size, the pan is most commonly used for finishing sauces, warming small quantities, or holding prepared liquids during service.

• Induction compatible for use across multiple hob types
• Stainless steel construction suited to heavy daily use
• Practical size for sauces, reductions, and small-batch work
• Backed by Matfer Bourgeat's ten-year warranty

There are no complex installation requirements — this pan goes straight into service. It is worth noting that at one litre, it is not intended for batch cooking or high-volume production; kitchens needing larger capacity should consider the wider Excellence range in larger sizes. The pan is also relatively lightweight at under 600g, which suits quick-service environments but may not suit operators who prefer a heavier-gauge pan for sustained low-heat work.

This pan suits smaller professional kitchens, private dining operations, or as a supplementary piece in larger brigades where a compact, reliable sauce pan earns its place on the stove. If you are building out a full batterie or are unsure which sizes best fit your operation, we are happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 40cm sauté pan is a large-format, heavy-duty piece of cookware built for professional kitchen use. Constructed from stainless steel and weighing just over 5kg empty, it is designed to withstand the demands of daily commercial service rather than occasional use. The 19-litre capacity makes it well suited to batch cooking, braising, and sauce reduction at scale.

In a busy kitchen environment, pans at this size are regularly exposed to high heat, heavy loads, and frequent handling. The Excellence range is produced to a standard that experienced chefs tend to rely on for exactly this reason — consistent performance without the deterioration that lighter-gauge cookware often shows over time. The welded, watertight handles are a practical detail worth noting: they eliminate the flex and loosening that can become a safety concern on pans used at volume and weight.

Operationally, this pan earns its place in a professional batterie de cuisine through a combination of durability and practicality:

• Stainless steel construction resists staining and is straightforward to clean after service
• The wide base gives good heat distribution across the cooking surface
• Large capacity supports batch production without splitting quantities across multiple pans
• Secure handle design reduces handling risk when the pan is fully loaded
• Suitable for use across gas, electric, and induction hob types

At 40cm across, this pan requires adequate hob or range space. It is best suited to kitchens with commercial ranges or large burner configurations. For smaller operations or tighter hob layouts, a smaller pan from the Excellence range may be more practical. For very high-volume sites running continuous service, it is worth considering whether a larger or heavier-gauge option would better match your throughput requirements.

This pan is a sensible choice for professional kitchens — brigade cooking, banqueting, contract catering, or any operation producing dishes in volume. The 10-year warranty reflects Matfer Bourgeat's confidence in the build quality, and it is the kind of pan that tends to outlast cheaper alternatives many times over.

If you are unsure which size or specification best fits your current kitchen setup, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence sauté pan is a large-format, heavy-duty stainless steel pan designed for professional kitchen use. At 36cm across, it provides a broad, even cooking surface well suited to sautéing, reducing, and finishing sauces at volume. The absence of a lid makes it straightforward to reach for during service without an additional component to manage.

In a busy kitchen environment, pans at this scale are regularly called upon across multiple services without opportunity for rest. The stainless steel construction handles direct heat, repeated washing, and the general rigours of a working kitchen reliably over time. The pan's weight — just over 4kg — is worth noting: fully loaded, this will be a substantial lift, so correct brigade handling habits are important.

Practically, the key advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Large surface area supports batch cooking and volume sauce reduction
• Stainless steel construction cleans efficiently and withstands commercial dishwasher use
• Secure, fixed handles designed for confident movement on and off the range
• No lid to misplace or store separately during service
• Compatible with induction, gas, and electric ranges

There are no unusual installation requirements — this is standalone cookware. It is worth ensuring your range burners or induction zones are appropriately rated for a pan of this size, as a 36cm base will overhang smaller domestic-scale burners and compromise heat distribution.

This pan is well suited to high-volume operations such as hotel kitchens, contract catering, and brigade-run restaurant kitchens where large-batch cooking is a daily requirement. For smaller kitchens with more modest throughput, a smaller capacity pan from the same range may be a more practical day-to-day choice. Matfer Bourgeat backs this pan with a ten-year warranty, which reflects the build quality expected at this level of professional use.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your service volumes or range setup, we are happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence sauté pan is a straightforward, professional-grade piece of cookware built for daily use in commercial kitchens. Constructed from stainless steel with a robust handle attachment, it is designed to hold up under the repetitive demands of busy service without the kind of wear that causes cheaper pans to fail prematurely.

In a working kitchen environment, a pan of this size earns its keep during high-output service periods — batch cooking sauces, braising, reducing stocks, or sautéing larger quantities in a single pass. The capacity means fewer pan changes during service, which keeps workflow moving and reduces the risk of holding food at the wrong temperature while chasing extra pans.

• Stainless steel construction supports both gas and induction hob use
• Watertight handle fixing reduces risk of loosening over time
• Smooth interior makes cleaning straightforward at the end of service
• Substantial build weight contributes to even heat distribution on the base
• Suitable for oven use as well as direct hob cooking

Stainless steel does require some technique to prevent sticking on dry heat, and operators new to the material may prefer to ensure sufficient fat or liquid is in the pan before high-temperature use. The pan is sold without a lid, so if covered cooking is required, a compatible lid will need to be sourced separately.

This pan is well suited to professional kitchens where durability and ease of cleaning take priority over non-stick convenience — particularly in high-turnover environments such as restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations. For kitchens needing a smaller working size or a larger batch-cooking vessel, other options within the range are worth considering.

If you are building out your pan stock and want to discuss the right mix of sizes for your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition saucepan is a straightforward piece of professional cookware built around a Japanese steel cooking surface and an aluminium sandwich base. The Japanese steel interior provides an even, responsive cooking plane, while the sandwiched aluminium core improves heat distribution across the base — reducing the hot spots that cause sauces and stocks to catch during sustained service periods.

At this diameter and capacity, the pan is intended for high-volume hob work rather than occasional use. Whether it's running a sauce station through a busy dinner service, batch-cooking stocks, or holding reductions over a prolonged period, the construction is built to cope with daily repetitive use without warping or degrading. The stainless steel finish resists staining and stands up reliably to commercial washing cycles.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are:

• Aluminium sandwich base promotes even heat distribution and reduces the risk of scorching
• Stainless steel construction is durable, hygienic, and straightforward to clean
• Elongated stainless steel handle allows confident movement around a busy pass
• Compatible with most commercial hob types, including induction where the base is suitably bonded

One practical consideration at this size: the pan benefits from a burner or induction zone that can cover the base evenly. Undersized rings will compromise heat distribution and partly negate the advantage of the sandwich base. At 5kg before any contents are added, it is also worth thinking about how frequently kitchen staff will be lifting and manoeuvring it during service.

This pan suits operations running consistent, high-volume sauce or stock work — professional kitchens, contract catering, and hotel operations where a large, reliable vessel is in daily use. For kitchens with lighter or less frequent saucepan demands, smaller pans within the Tradition range may be a more practical and cost-appropriate fit.

If you're building out a batterie de cuisine or want to work through which sizes and quantities suit your specific operation, the team is always glad to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition range is a long-established line of professional cookware widely used in commercial kitchens across Europe. This 280mm saucepan is built from stainless steel and offers an 8.6-litre capacity, making it a practical choice for stocks, sauces, soups, and the kind of batch cooking that underpins daily prep across most kitchen operations.

In sustained service conditions, build consistency matters more than it might appear. Tradition pans are recognised within the trade for holding up well under repeated heating cycles, rough handling during busy service, and the rigours of a commercial dishwasher. The stainless steel finish resists staining and surface degradation in a way that lower-grade cookware often doesn't over time.

From a practical standpoint, this pan is compatible with all hob types — gas, electric, and induction — which makes it straightforward to specify regardless of what your kitchen is running. Key operational characteristics worth noting:

• Compatible with all hob types, including induction
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining over sustained use
• 8.6L capacity handles batch sauce work and stock preparation comfortably
• Suitable for commercial dishwashers, keeping cleaning time minimal
• Robust enough to withstand the demands of a professional kitchen environment

One practical point: a lid is not included and is sold separately. If you're specifying cookware across multiple sizes at the same time, it's worth planning lid compatibility across the range from the outset to avoid mismatches later.

This pan suits most professional kitchen sizes, from smaller brigade operations through to higher-volume sites. Where significantly larger batch capacities are needed, Matfer Bourgeat offer larger sizes within the same Tradition range that may be a closer fit.

If you're equipping a new kitchen or refreshing cookware across a section, it's worth talking through your sizing requirements before ordering — we're happy to help work out what suits your service.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Pro sauté pan is a professional stainless steel pan with a multi-layer non-stick interior and a substantial base construction. The flared sides are designed to support reduction work and make tossing or turning ingredients straightforward without requiring a spatula — a practical advantage during a busy service when speed and control both matter.

Base thickness is a meaningful factor in any working kitchen. The construction distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, which reduces the risk of hot spots causing uneven colouring or scorching during sustained, high-turnover service. The non-stick interior gives clean food release consistently, which keeps plate turnaround brisk and avoids carry-over flavours between dishes.

For the day-to-day kitchen operation, the practical advantages include:

• Even heat distribution reduces scorching risk across prolonged service periods
• Non-stick surface supports faster cleaning between covers
• Flared profile aids reduction and direct portioning from the pan
• Stainless steel construction withstands regular commercial dishwashing
• Balanced weight at 1.52kg suits single-hand use during active service

The pan works across gas and induction ranges, though it is worth confirming induction compatibility with the team if that is your primary heat source. At 28cm it sits in a practical mid-range size — capable of handling a meaningful portion of protein or vegetables in a single batch while remaining manageable on a crowded range. Operators running very high covers or larger batch work may find a wider or heavier-duty option from the range better suited to their throughput.

This pan is a reliable choice for chef-proprietor sites, smaller brigade kitchens, and any operation that needs a dependable all-round sauté pan for daily use. If you are building out a cookware set or want to talk through which sizes best fit your menu and service style, the team is glad to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Pro sauté pan is a 24cm professional cookware piece manufactured in France. It combines a stainless steel body with a multi-layer non-stick interior, giving chefs a pan that handles the full range of sauté, shallow-fry, and pan-sauce work without the food release problems associated with lower-grade non-stick surfaces.

In a working kitchen, this pan earns its place through consistent, dependable performance. The stainless steel construction provides reliable heat distribution across the base and lower sides, and the non-stick interior holds up well to the repeated heating and cooling cycles that busy service demands. It suits prep cooks and section chefs alike — robust enough to run through multiple covers without the coating lifting or discolouring under normal use.

Practical advantages operators tend to notice in regular use:

• Multi-layer non-stick surface reduces oil dependency and aids faster service
• Stainless steel body resists warping under sustained heat
• Straightforward to clean between covers, reducing turnaround time
• French manufacture to professional cookware standards
• Compatible with gas, electric, and induction hobs where specified

At 2.378kg, the pan has a solid, reassuring feel without being impractical to handle across a shift. The 24cm diameter makes it well suited to à la carte portions — single proteins, individual vegetable garnishes, or pan sauces for one to two covers. Sites running higher volumes or larger batch work may find a wider diameter or heavier-duty forged alternative more appropriate.

It is worth noting that non-stick coatings generally benefit from hand washing rather than commercial dishwasher use, which can shorten coating life considerably. Operations where pans routinely go through a machine should factor this into their purchasing decision.

If you are equipping a section from scratch or are weighing up whether the 24cm size fits your typical service, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef wok sauté pan is a 280mm flared-sided aluminium pan designed for the demands of a working professional kitchen. The thick aluminium construction supports even heat distribution across the base and sides, which is particularly useful for the high-heat, quick-toss cooking styles common in Asian-influenced dishes, stir-fries, and sautéed garnishes. The four-layer non-stick coating is PFOA-free and rated for intensive use, making it a more considered choice than entry-level non-stick cookware that degrades quickly in a busy service environment.

In practice, this pan suits operations where a reliable non-stick surface reduces the need for excess oil and simplifies service during high-output periods. The flared profile allows food to be moved and folded freely, and the aluminium body keeps the overall weight manageable — useful during extended service when chefs are handling pans repeatedly.

• Non-stick surface reduces oil usage and simplifies presentation of delicate ingredients
• Even heat distribution from thick aluminium supports consistent cooking results
• Flared sides allow confident tossing and folding without spillage
• PFOA-free coating meets current food safety expectations
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive use

It is worth noting that non-stick pans of this type require careful handling — metal utensils and abrasive cleaning will shorten the life of the coating considerably. This pan is better suited to operations where kitchen discipline around non-stick care is maintained. For very high-volume kitchens where pans take heavy daily abuse, a carbon steel or cast iron alternative may offer greater longevity.

This pan works well in restaurant, hotel, and contract catering kitchens where a mid-sized wok-style pan is needed for sautéing, finishing, or à la carte service. If your operation requires a larger cooking surface or you are equipping multiple sections, it is worth discussing your full requirements before ordering.

If you are unsure whether this pan fits the way your kitchen works, we are happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef sauté pan is a flared-sided aluminium pan designed for intensive professional use. Made in France, it features a four-layer non-stick coating that is PFOA-free, giving it a solid foundation for demanding kitchen environments where pans are in constant rotation across a service period.

In practice, the flared profile makes it straightforward to toss or turn ingredients without obstruction, and the aluminium construction distributes heat evenly across the base, which helps when cooking proteins or reducing sauces at pace. The non-stick coating performs consistently under repeated use, reducing the risk of food adhesion and making clean-down quicker between covers.

Practical advantages of this pan include:

• PFOA-free four-layer non-stick coating suited to heavy daily use
• Even heat distribution from the aluminium body, reducing hot spots
• Flared sides that support tossing, turning and plating directly from the pan
• Straightforward to clean, reducing turnaround time between services
• Made in France to professional catering standards

At 32cm, this pan is a practical size for mid-volume cooking tasks — suitable for a la carte service, banqueting prep, or as a workhorse pan in a busy section. It is worth noting that aluminium pans of this type are not compatible with induction hobs without an interface disc, so it is worth confirming your hob type before ordering. For kitchens requiring induction compatibility as standard, alternative pan ranges with induction-ready bases may be more appropriate.

This pan is well suited to hotels, restaurants, and contract catering operations looking for reliable, professional-grade non-stick cookware at a sensible price point. If you are equipping a section and want to discuss quantities, sizing across a service, or compatibility with your current setup, we are happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef sauté pan is a professional-grade aluminium pan with a flared rim and a four-layer PFOA-free non-stick coating. It is designed for the demands of a working commercial kitchen, where reliable release, consistent heat distribution, and durability under repeated use matter more than appearances.

Aluminium is the material of choice in most professional kitchens for good reason — it heats quickly and spreads heat evenly across the base and sides, which helps operators maintain control during fast-paced service. The flared rim makes it practical for tossing and plating, and the four-layer coating is built to withstand the kind of daily use that would wear through a domestic pan within months.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages this pan offers are:

• Quick, even heat-up reduces waiting time between dishes during service
• PFOA-free four-layer coating supports food release and simplifies cleaning
• Flared rim aids tossing, folding, and controlled plating
• Lightweight aluminium construction reduces fatigue during long shifts
• Suitable for gas, electric, and solid-top ranges

It is worth noting that aluminium non-stick pans are not suitable for induction hobs unless used with an induction diffuser plate. The coating, while built for intensive use, will last longer if metal utensils are avoided and the pan is not subjected to sudden temperature shocks. At this size and weight, it sits comfortably in a larder or sauce section and is well suited to individual-portion cookery, omelettes, sautéed vegetables, and pan sauces.

This pan is a practical choice for smaller operations, café kitchens, and sections within larger kitchens that need a reliable everyday sauté pan. Operators running a higher-volume section or requiring induction compatibility may want to consider a heavier-gauge or stainless-clad alternative.

If you are equipping a new section or replacing existing pans and want a steer on which size or specification fits your service best, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef sauté pan is a professional-grade aluminium pan designed for daily use in commercial kitchens. Made in France, it features a four-layer PFOA-free non-stick coating applied over a thick aluminium body, giving it the kind of heat distribution and coating durability that holds up to repeated use across a busy service.

In practice, the thick aluminium base responds quickly to changes in heat, which suits the pace of a working kitchen where you need consistent results without constantly adjusting the flame. The flared sides make it straightforward to toss or turn ingredients and to transfer food cleanly to plates. The non-stick surface reduces the need for excessive fat and makes cleaning faster between services — both practical advantages when time is short.

• Four-layer PFOA-free non-stick coating rated for intensive professional use
• Thick aluminium construction for even, responsive heat distribution
• Flared sides suited to sautéing, reducing and plating directly from the pan
• Made in France to Matfer Bourgeat's professional cookware standards
• Lightweight build at 742g, reducing fatigue during extended service periods

At 742g, the pan is light enough to handle comfortably through a long service, which matters when pans are in constant rotation. It is suitable for use on gas and electric hobs. It is not induction compatible, so this is worth confirming against your existing range before ordering. The non-stick coating, while rated for intensive use, will last longer with appropriate utensils and without exposure to very high dry heat.

This pan is well suited to à la carte kitchens, catering operations, and prep environments where a reliable non-stick sauté pan is used regularly but not subjected to extremely high-temperature searing. Operators running higher volumes or needing induction compatibility may find a heavier-duty or induction-ready alternative more appropriate.

If you're unsure whether this pan is the right fit for your setup, we're happy to talk it through.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef is a professional-grade sauté pan in non-stick coated aluminium, designed for use across a wide range of stove-top cooking tasks. The flared sides are a practical design choice — they make tossing and folding food straightforward and allow moisture to escape more readily than a straight-sided pan, which suits reduction work and pan-frying equally well. At 20cm, this is a single-portion or small-batch pan rather than a high-volume service piece.

Aluminium conducts heat quickly and evenly, which is useful in a busy kitchen where consistent results across multiple portions matter. The non-stick surface reduces the need for excess fat and makes cleaning between uses faster, which helps maintain pace during service. Matfer Bourgeat is a well-regarded French manufacturer with a long track record in professional kitchens, and the Classe Chef range reflects that — these are working pans built to perform under regular use rather than occasional domestic cooking.

• Handles well for sautéing, pan-frying, and sauce finishing
• Non-stick coating reduces cleaning time between covers
• Flared profile supports tossing and evaporation work
• Even aluminium construction minimises hot spots
• Practical size for single portions or small accompaniments

As with all non-stick aluminium cookware, it is worth considering how it will be used day to day. Non-stick surfaces benefit from the use of appropriate utensils and careful cleaning practice — metal implements and abrasive cleaning agents will shorten the working life of the coating. This pan is not induction-compatible unless your hob includes a suitable interface disc. If you are equipping a brigade that works across mixed hob types, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering.

This 20cm pan is best suited to smaller-scale operations, à la carte service, or as part of a set where different sizes are used for different tasks. If your kitchen handles larger batch work, a bigger diameter would serve you better.

If you are putting together a cookware set for a new kitchen or replacing specific pieces, we are happy to talk through what works well for your style of service.
