Product Information

Full details

The Matfer Bourgeat Elite Pro Frying Pan is designed for professional chefs and dedicated home cooks who require consistent heat distribution and long-term durability. Its standout benefit is the advanced four-layer non-stick surface reinforced with titanium and a ceramic plasma layer, which provides exceptional release properties and longevity significantly surpassing standard pans. While it offers premium performance, users should note that the traditional cast iron handle requires the use of an oven mitt or towel during stovetop cooking as it can become hot to the touch.

FAQs

Is this pan induction compatible?

Yes, the Matfer Bourgeat Elite Pro series is compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.

Can I use this pan in the oven?

Yes, due to the cast iron handle and professional construction, it is safe for oven use.

How do I best clean the pan?

Hand wash with a mild detergent and a soft sponge. Avoid steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads.

Why is the handle made of cast iron?

Cast iron is used for its durability and secure, heavy-duty grip, which is a standard requirement for professional kitchen tools.

Does the non-stick coating contain PFOA?

Matfer Bourgeat adheres to strict professional safety standards regarding their non-stick coatings; please refer to the product packaging for specific safety certifications.

How long should the coating last?

With proper care and the use of non-metallic utensils, the titanium-reinforced coating is designed to last ten times longer than standard non-stick pans.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure the pan is preheated correctly on medium heat. If sticking persists, check for microscopic carbon buildup and wash with a soft, non-abrasive sponge.

Handle becoming too hot

This is a feature of the cast iron material. Always use a dry oven mitt or thick kitchen towel when handling the pan during or immediately after use.

Surface showing minor scratches

Check cooking utensils for sharp edges. Ensure only silicone, nylon, or wood tools are being used. Minor surface marks do not typically affect non-stick performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly longer lifespan than standard non-stick cookware
  • Excellent heat retention due to the thick 6mm base
  • Highly durable surface resists scratches and wear
  • Covered rivets prevent food buildup and simplify cleaning
  • Professional-grade construction ensures stability

Cons

  • The cast iron handle conducts heat and requires protective gear
  • Large 32cm size may be heavy for some users to maneuver
  • Higher initial investment compared to entry-level pans

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, it is recommended to wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. While the pan is durable, avoid using metal utensils to extend the life of the non-stick coating; silicone or wood tools are preferred. This pan is compatible with most stovetops; ensure the diameter of the burner matches the pan base for optimal efficiency. To clean, allow the pan to cool completely before washing. While the coating is resilient, hand washing is strongly recommended over dishwasher use to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and titanium-reinforced layers.
