Price Match

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 160mm size practical for busy service, or is it better suited to prep work?

At 160mm, this pan is best used for single-portion finishing, sauces, or garnish work rather than as a primary high-volume pan. Kitchens with significant throughput typically rely on larger diameter pans for main cookline work, with smaller pans like this supporting specific tasks alongside them.

How should this pan be cared for to get the best life from the non-stick coating?

Non-stick coatings in commercial use last longest when used with silicone or wooden utensils and cleaned by hand rather than in a commercial dishwasher. Avoiding high dry-heat and storing pans without stacking directly on the cooking surface will also help preserve the coating over time.

Is this pan suitable for use on induction hobs?

The pan construction includes aluminium, which is not inherently induction-compatible. It is advisable to confirm induction suitability with Matfer Bourgeat's product documentation before purchasing for an induction cook line, as compatibility depends on the base specification of the specific model.
