Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Boiling Pan 17Ltr Stainless Steel

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Boiling Pan is a professional-grade stainless steel pan designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. At 17 litres, it sits in the mid-range of Matfer's Tradition Plus line — large enough for substantial batch cooking, but manageable enough for a single cook to handle safely during service.

In practice, this pan is well suited to stockpots, sauces, blanching vegetables, and general wet cookery where a reliable, even-heating vessel is needed throughout a busy shift. The reinforced non-drip edge reduces mess when transferring liquids, and the heavy-gauge stainless steel construction holds up to the kind of daily use that lighter pans struggle with over time. It is compatible with all cooking surfaces, including induction, which makes it a practical choice for kitchens running induction hobs alongside conventional ranges.

Key operational features include:

• Induction-compatible base — works across all hob types without additional adaptors
• Reinforced non-drip edge with an ultra-thick bumper to reduce spillage when pouring
• Stay-cool, watertight handles for safer handling during service
• Robust construction suited to repeated high-temperature use and commercial washing
• Lids available separately, allowing operators to spec the pan independently

Being a mid-capacity pan, it is worth considering your typical batch sizes before ordering. For sites preparing stock or large-volume soups in single batches, a larger pan from the same range may reduce the number of cooking cycles needed. Conversely, for smaller operations or where multiple pans are used simultaneously across a range, 17 litres is a practical size to work with.

If you are unsure whether this capacity is the right fit for your kitchen's service volumes or hob configuration, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
