Expert Review and  Insights

The Matfer Bourgeat pan is a classic for a reason. In a busy kitchen, you need tools that are predictable and  tough, and  this delivers on both fronts. It feels balanced in the hand, the heat response is quick, and  that four-layer coating is noticeably more resilient than what you find on cheaper alternatives. It's a proper piece of professional kit, built for the graft.

  • Best Feature: The non-stick surface is incredibly durable, even with constant daily use.
  • Heads Up: It's not suitable for induction, so double-check your hobs before buying.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Clifftop Café in Newquay was struggling with inconsistent results from their old, worn-out pans during the hectic summer tourist season. Food sticking was slowing down their breakfast service and  causing unnecessary waste.

"We switched to the Bourgeat E823 pans for our egg station and  the difference was instant. They're total workhorses. The non-stick is fantastic, they heat evenly, and  the chefs can work faster without worrying about pans letting them down. Simple, but so effective."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

After the switch, the café reported a 25% increase in speed during their breakfast service and  a significant reduction in food waste from stuck items.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth to remove any residues from manufacturing.
  • Gently dry the pan and then 'season' it by wiping a very thin layer of cooking oil over the non-stick surface.
  • Heat the pan gently for a minute or two on a low-medium heat, then let it cool completely and  wipe out any excess oil.
  • Always try to match the pan base size to your gas or electric hob ring for optimal heat efficiency and  to protect the handle.

Keeping It Going

  • Hand wash only! Never put your pan in the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents will destroy the non-stick coating.
  • Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prolong the life of the non-stick surface. Avoid sharp metal tools.
  • Allow the pan to cool down before washing. Plunging a hot pan into cold water can cause thermal shock and  warping.
  • Store carefully, avoiding stacking other pans directly on top of the non-stick surface to prevent scratches.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Frying Pan

Not sure what to look for? A great frying pan is a chef's best friend. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right one for your kitchen.

Material Matters

This pan's aluminium body is a top choice for busy kitchens. It's an excellent heat conductor, meaning it gets up to temperature quickly and  evenly, and  its light weight reduces fatigue during a long service.

Handle with Confidence

Look for riveted handles, like on this Bourgeat E823 pan. Rivets provide a much stronger, more durable bond than screws or welds, ensuring the handle will never become loose or detach, even with heavy use.

The Non-Stick Story

For commercial use, more layers are always better. A multi-layer coating provides superior durability and  longevity, meaning better performance over time and  a lower lifetime cost than cheaper, single-coat pans.

Size It Up

Consider what you'll be cooking most. This 220mm size is a fantastic all-rounder for individual portions, sauces, and  sides. Ensure you have a range of sizes to match your menu and  portion control needs.

Check Your Heat Source

This is crucial. This pan works perfectly on gas, electric, and  ceramic hobs. However, as it's aluminium, it is NOT compatible with induction cooktops. Always check your equipment first!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this frying pan oven-safe?

A: The epoxy-coated handle is designed to stay cool on the hob, but it is not recommended for use in high-temperature ovens. It may be suitable for very low temperatures for short periods, but always exercise caution.

Q: Is the Bourgeat E823 pan dishwasher safe?

A: No. To protect the four-layer non-stick coating and  ensure its longevity, this pan is strictly hand wash only.

Q: What are the best utensils to use with it?

A: We strongly recommend using silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils to avoid scratching and  damaging the non-stick surface.

Q: Is the non-stick coating PFOA-free?

A: Yes, in line with modern manufacturing standards for professional cookware, the non-stick coating is PFOA-free.

Q: Why is an aluminium body a good thing?

A: Aluminium is an exceptional heat conductor, meaning the pan heats up very quickly and  evenly, eliminating hot spots. It's also significantly lighter than stainless steel or cast iron, making it easier to handle.

Q: How do I clean stubborn food?

A: Thanks to the quality non-stick surface, this is rarely an issue. If needed, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before wiping with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.

Q: What is the benefit of a reinforced base?

A: The reinforced base prevents the pan from warping or buckling under the high heat of a commercial hob, ensuring it always sits flat and  distributes heat evenly for consistent cooking results.

Q: Can I use this on an induction hob?

A: No, this pan is made from aluminium and  is not compatible with induction hobs. It is designed for gas, electric, and  ceramic cooktops.

What Customers Are Saying

Why a Four-Layer Coating Is Your Secret Weapon

Ever wonder what the difference is between a standard non-stick pan and  a professional one? It often comes down to the coating. A single layer is fine for occasional home use, but in a commercial kitchen, it won't last a week. Think of it like painting a fence: one thin coat offers minimal protection and  will flake away quickly. But four, properly applied layers create a tough, resilient barrier that's built to last.

This pan's four-layer system means it can withstand the thermal shock of constant heating and  cooling, and  the daily scrape of utensils. It creates a genuinely robust surface that releases food effortlessly time and  time again. This means less oil is needed, cleaning is as simple as a quick wipe, and  most importantly, you get consistent, reliable results without food sticking and  ruining a dish. It's an investment in quality that pays for itself in reduced frustration and  fewer replacement pans.
