- Durability: The 4-layer coating holds up brilliantly to constant, heavy use.
- Upkeep: Being hand-wash only, it demands extra care during clean-down.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular seaside bistro in Brighton, needed to replace its collection of worn-out frying pans. Their existing pans were causing inconsistent cooking and significant food waste due to sticking, slowing down a fast-paced service.
"Switching to the Bourgeat Elite Pro pans has been brilliant. They just work. The non-stick is fantastic, they heat evenly, and the chefs can trust them completely. No more scraping eggs off a pan during the morning rush; everything just glides right off."
Mark Riley – Head Chef
After the switch, the kitchen reported a noticeable increase in service speed and a reduction in food wastage from sticking pans by over 30%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to remove any residue from manufacturing.
- Dry it thoroughly straight away. There's no need for complex seasoning with this advanced coating.
- For best results, start by heating the pan on a low to medium heat before adding fats or food.
- Always match the pan base size to the hob ring for efficient heating and to protect the handle.
Keeping It Going
- Always allow the pan to cool down completely before washing. Plunging a hot pan into cold water can cause warping.
- Hand wash only. Dishwasher detergents are highly abrasive and will destroy the non-stick coating.
- Use only wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant nylon utensils to protect the non-stick surface.
- Avoid using metal scourers or abrasive cleaning powders. A soft sponge or cloth is all you need.

Q: Is this frying pan definitely induction compatible?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Bourgeat Elite Pro K781 is designed with a special base that works efficiently on all heat sources, including induction hobs.
Q: Can I put this pan in the oven?
A: The cast steel handle means it can be used in the oven for short periods at moderate temperatures. However, always use an oven glove as the handle will get hot.

A: This 240mm pan has a generous capacity of 2 litres, making it suitable for a wide variety of tasks.

Explore more from Matfer BourgeatHow a 4-Layer Coating Prevents Kitchen Headaches
Ever wondered what makes a 'professional' non-stick pan different? It's all in the layers. Think of a single-coat non-stick pan like having one coat of paint on a garden fence—it looks good at first but quickly peels and scratches under pressure. The Bourgeat Elite Pro's 4-layer system is more like the finish on a high-end car. Each layer has a specific job, from bonding securely to the aluminium base to providing a tough, slick topcoat. This multi-layer construction means it can withstand the constant thermal shock of heating and cooling, and the scrapes of utensils, far better than domestic pans. For a business, this translates directly to a longer-lasting pan, more consistent cooking results, and better value for money in the long run.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for the line, perfect for searing proteins and creating delicate pan sauces with precision.
- Bustling Cafés: Ideal for turning out perfect omelettes, crêpes, and other brunch staples without sticking or burning.
- Hotel Food Service: A reliable and versatile pan for room service, breakfast stations, and à la carte dining.
- Culinary Schools: An excellent training tool, teaching students control with a durable, professional-grade non stick chef frypan.
