Matfer Bourgeat Elite Pro Non-Stick Induction Frying Pan 320mm

The Matfer Bourgeat Elite Pro is a professional non-stick frying pan built for daily use in commercial kitchens. The 320mm diameter makes it a practical all-rounder for sautéing, pan-frying proteins, and finishing sauces during service, sitting comfortably between the smaller pans used for individual portions and the larger formats suited to batch cooking.

The pan is constructed from a combination of stainless steel and aluminium, giving it the heat conductivity needed for responsive cooking while keeping weight at a level that reduces fatigue over a long service. The extra-thick base — reinforced with a ceramic plasma sub-layer and titanium — gives the non-stick surface notably better durability than standard coated pans, which tend to degrade quickly under heavy rotation. In a busy kitchen environment where pans take punishment from high heat, metal utensils, and repeated washing, that resilience matters.

Practical advantages for kitchen operations include:

• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hobs without additional kit
• Thick base reduces hotspots and supports even browning across the full cooking surface
• Titanium-reinforced coating offers greater resistance to scratching and surface wear
• Cast iron handle provides a secure, heat-resistant grip under service pressure
• Suitable for professional dishwasher use where the coating remains intact

At 1.81kg, the pan is substantial without being unwieldy, though chefs running high-volume services where pans are lifted and tossed repeatedly should factor that into their choice. For very high-throughput operations, a larger format or a heavier-duty model in the same range may be worth considering.

This pan is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations looking for cookware that holds up reliably over time rather than requiring frequent replacement. If you are specifying cookware across a brigade or want guidance on the right sizes for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
