Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus Stainless Steel Casserole Pan 8.6Ltr

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus casserole pan is a straightforward, well-built stainless steel pan designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. At 8.6 litres, it sits comfortably in the mid-range for sauce work, braising, blanching, and general stock preparation, making it a practical choice for a wide variety of service types.

Matfer Bourgeat's Tradition Plus range is built with a reinforced non-drip edge and an ultra-thick bumper rim, which helps reduce spillage during pouring and extends the working life of the pan under the kind of repeated daily use common in professional kitchens. The stay-cool handle design keeps the grip manageable during service, and the construction is compatible with all cooking surfaces, including induction hobs.

From an operational standpoint, the pan offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Induction-compatible base — suitable for kitchens with mixed or induction-only hob setups
• Reinforced rim reduces drips and spillage when pouring at volume
• Stay-cool handle improves handling safety during busy service
• Robust stainless steel construction tolerates high-frequency use and commercial dishwashing
• Lid sold separately, allowing operators to specify lid type to suit their workflow

There are no unusual installation requirements — this is a standalone pan that works across standard commercial cooking suites. The 3.34kg weight is worth bearing in mind for kitchen teams who handle pans frequently at full capacity, though it is consistent with similar commercial-grade cookware at this size. Lids are available separately; it is worth confirming the correct lid reference when ordering.

This pan is well suited to kitchens running medium-volume service — restaurants, hotels, school catering, and similar operations. For higher-volume sites or where larger batch cooking is routine, a bigger capacity pan from the same range may be worth considering.
