Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Bistro in York was struggling with their old pans, which were losing their non-stick coating and  causing food to burn during busy lunch services. They needed a reliable commercial non stick pan that could keep up.

"We were replacing our pans every few months. The Bourgeat K742 pans have been fantastic. Nothing sticks, they heat evenly, and  our chefs are much happier. The quality is obvious from the moment you pick one up."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

This switch significantly reduced food wastage and  cut pan-scrubbing time by over 30%, allowing for faster ticket times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the pan with hot, soapy water and  dry thoroughly.
  • Lightly 'season' the non-stick surface by wiping it with a small amount of cooking oil.
  • Avoid using metal utensils which can scratch and  damage the coating. Opt for wood, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic.
  • Never heat an empty pan for extended periods, as this can degrade the non-stick surface.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the pan to cool down before washing to prevent thermal shock and  warping.
  • Hand wash only. Dishwashers use harsh detergents that will ruin the non-stick coating over time.
  • Use a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning; avoid abrasive scourers or steel wool.
  • If stacking for storage, place a pan protector or a soft cloth between pans to protect the surface.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Frying Pan

Not sure which pan is the perfect match for your line? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Material Matters

Aluminium, like in this pan, heats up fast and  is lightweight, ideal for fast-paced kitchens. Cast iron retains heat well, while stainless steel is incredibly durable.

The Right Coating

A quality multi-layer non-stick surface is essential for delicate foods like eggs and  fish. It also makes clean-up significantly faster during a busy service.

Hob Compatibility

Always double-check if a pan works with your kitchen's heat source. This one is perfect for gas and  electric, but isn't suitable for induction hobs.

Handle with Care

A handle that stays cool and  offers a comfortable grip is crucial for safety and  control. An oven-safe handle adds extra versatility for finishing dishes.

Size and  Shape

A 28cm pan is a versatile all-rounder. Consider what you cook most often. Larger pans are for bulk cooking, while smaller pans are great for individual portions or sauces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this pan oven safe?

A: The epoxy-finished handle is not designed for high oven temperatures, so this pan is best kept for hob-use only.

Q: What is the non-stick coating made from?

A: It's a professional-grade, multi-layer PTFE coating, specifically designed for durability in a commercial setting.

Q: Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

A: We strongly advise against it. To protect the high-performance non-stick surface, please stick to wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant nylon utensils.

Q: Why isn't it induction compatible?

A: The pan's body is made of aluminium, which is an excellent heat conductor but is not magnetic, so it doesn't work with induction technology.

Q: How heavy is the pan to handle?

A: It's surprisingly light for its commercial-grade durability, weighing just 1.01kg, which makes it easy to handle during a long shift.

Q: What does 'reinforced base' actually do?

A: It means the base is thicker than the walls. This is crucial for preventing the pan from buckling or warping under intense heat, ensuring it always sits flat on the hob for even cooking.

Q: Is the 28cm measurement the base or the top diameter?

A: The 280mm (28cm) measurement refers to the top, rim-to-rim diameter of the pan.

Q: Can this pan go in my commercial dishwasher?

A: No, this pan is strictly hand wash only. The harsh chemicals and  high heat in a dishwasher will damage and  degrade the non-stick coating.
