Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Stainless Steel Wok 35cm

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Wok is a heavy-duty stainless steel wok designed for professional kitchen use. At 35cm in diameter with a 5-litre capacity, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for commercial wok cookware — large enough for meaningful batch cooking, manageable enough for a single-portion stir-fry when needed. It is compatible with all cooking surfaces, including induction, making it a practical choice for kitchens running mixed hob configurations.

In a busy service environment, the construction holds up well under repeated daily use. Stainless steel at this gauge retains and distributes heat reliably, and the reinforced non-drip edge reduces spillage during fast, high-heat cooking. The stay-cool handle remains safe to grip throughout service without the need for a cloth, which matters when pace is high and hands are occupied. The 1.72kg weight is substantial enough to feel stable on the hob without being unwieldy during tossing or plating.

• Induction-compatible base works across all common hob types
• Reinforced non-drip edge reduces spillage during high-heat cooking
• Stay-cool handle remains safe to grip throughout service
• Robust stainless steel construction tolerates heavy daily use
• Straightforward to clean and maintain between services

From an installation and practical standpoint, there is little to consider beyond ensuring your hob output is appropriate for the cooking style. Wok cooking at high heat benefits from a powerful burner or high-output induction zone; the pan itself imposes no special requirements. Note that lids are sold separately, so factor that in if covered simmering or holding is part of the intended use.

This wok suits professional kitchens where stainless steel is preferred over carbon steel for durability and ease of maintenance — typically hotels, contract caterers, pub kitchens, and staff restaurants. It is well suited to moderate-volume Asian or fusion menus. For sites producing very high volumes of wok-cooked dishes throughout service, a larger or heavier-duty pan may be worth considering.
