In a professional kitchen, the small details make all the difference, and  that absolutely includes your pan lids. The Bourgeat K835 isn't flashy, but it’s a workhorse.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →

  • Pro: The fit is absolutely spot-on for Bourgeat pans, sealing in heat and  moisture perfectly.

  • Con: Its specific design means it’s not a universal lid; a poor fit on other brands.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Penzance was struggling with energy efficiency and  inconsistent results on their slow-cooked dishes. Their collection of mismatched pan lids was identified as the culprit, allowing steam and  heat to escape. They decided to invest in the correct lids for their existing set of Matfer Bourgeat saucepans.

"We were constantly topping up liquids and  our braises took longer than they should. Getting the proper Bourgeat K835 pan lid for each saucepan has tightened up our whole process. The seal is perfect and  the quality is obvious."

Robert Davies – Proprietor & Head Chef

After standardising their lids, the bistro noted that simmering times were more consistent and  their monthly gas consumption dropped by a noticeable margin.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, give the lid a quick wash with warm, soapy water.
  • Confirm the model number on your Matfer Bourgeat pan to ensure a perfect match.
  • Simply place it on the compatible saucepan – no assembly required!

Keeping It Going

  • The lid is fully dishwasher-safe for quick and  easy cleaning.
  • To maintain its shine, dry it thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots.
  • For any stubborn food residue, a short soak is more effective than using harsh scourers.
  • Store flat or with its corresponding pan to avoid dents and  scratches.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Pan Lid

Not sure which lid fits the bill? Here are a few tips to make sure you get the right one for your kitchen.

Check for Compatibility

This is the most important step. This lid is for specific Matfer Bourgeat pans. Check your pan's model number before ordering to guarantee a perfect fit.

Measure Your Pan

If you're unsure of the model, measure the internal diameter of your pan's rim. This lid is designed for a 280mm (28cm) pan.

Trust the Material

Stainless steel is the go-to for professional kitchens. It’s tough, hygienic, and  won't react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes or wine.

Consider the Clean-Up

In a commercial setting, every second counts. A dishwasher-safe lid like this one is a non-negotiable feature for fast turnaround.

Invest in Longevity

It can be tempting to buy a cheap, universal lid, but they often warp and  dent. A quality, branded lid is an investment that pays off in durability and  performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this lid fit any 28cm saucepan?

A: It's specifically designed for a precision fit on Matfer Bourgeat's 'Excellence' and  'Traditional' pan ranges. It may not seal correctly on other brands, even if they are also 28cm.

Q: Is this commercial saucepan lid 280mm dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, absolutely. It is made from durable stainless steel and  is designed for easy cleaning in commercial dishwashers.

Q: What is the main advantage of a stainless steel lid?

A: Stainless steel provides excellent durability, resistance to rust and  corrosion, and  it is non-reactive, meaning it won't alter the taste of your food.

Q: How heavy is the lid?

A: It weighs approximately 0.53kg. This gives it enough heft to sit securely and  trap heat, without being difficult to handle.

Q: Why is a tight-fitting lid so important in cooking?

A: A tight seal traps heat and  moisture inside the pan. This leads to faster, more even cooking, saves energy, and  prevents sauces from evaporating too quickly.

Q: Can I use this lid in the oven?

A: As it is made entirely of stainless steel with no plastic parts, it is generally suitable for oven use, but always refer to the maximum temperature rating for the corresponding saucepan.

Q: How do I clean stubborn marks off it?

A: For any tough, baked-on food, a soak in warm, soapy water and  a non-abrasive sponge is the best method. Avoid using steel wool, which can scratch the surface.

Q: Is this an official Matfer Bourgeat product?

A: Yes, the K835 is a genuine Matfer Bourgeat lid, ensuring full compatibility and  the quality the brand is known for.

Why a Perfect Fit Creates Better Food

This means your sauces won't reduce too quickly, vegetables steam perfectly, and  meats braise to tender perfection without drying out. It's not just a cover; it’s a tool for controlling your cooking environment, leading to more flavourful food and  lower energy use.
