Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Flared Sauté Pan 280mm

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.
