Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Pro Non-Stick Sauté Pan 28cm

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.
