Expert Review and  Insights

When you hold a Matfer Bourgeat pan, you can feel the history. It’s not just the weight, which is substantial and  reassuring, but the flawless balance. The copper heats up almost instantly, giving you a level of control that cheaper pans simply can't match. This is a proper chef's tool, built for performance, not just for looks.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The heat responsiveness is second to none, perfect for delicate sauce work.
  • Cons: The beautiful copper exterior requires regular polishing to maintain its shine.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Falmouth, Cornwall, needed to upgrade its ageing aluminium pans. Their team was struggling with inconsistent heating, which led to sauces splitting during the hectic Saturday night service.

"The difference was immediate. The Bourgeat pans give us total control over the heat. We can hold delicate emulsions and  create reductions with a consistency we could only dream of before. They're a beautiful, robust piece of kit."

Eleanor Vance – Head Chef

Since introducing the new pans, the kitchen has reported a 90% reduction in sauce-related errors and  faster cooking times on key dishes, directly improving service speed and  food quality.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Take a moment to feel its balance and  weight on your stove, and  test its responsiveness on a low heat.
  • Always match the pan base size to the hob ring for the most efficient heating.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean the stainless steel interior with a standard washing-up liquid and  a non-abrasive sponge.
  • To keep the copper gleaming, use a dedicated copper polish periodically. A simple paste of lemon juice and  salt also works well.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers on either the interior or exterior to prevent scratching.
  • Dry the pan thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots, especially on the copper.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Sauté Pan

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a professional sauté pan.

Material Matters

Copper offers the best heat control, while aluminium is a great budget-friendly conductor. Stainless steel is durable and  non-reactive but heats less evenly on its own. A combination, like this copper/steel pan, often provides the best overall performance.

Size and  Capacity

Consider what you'll use it for most. A 20-24cm pan is a versatile all-rounder, perfect for sauces, searing for one or two, and  vegetables. Larger pans are better for batch cooking or family meals.

Handle with Care

Look for handles that are securely riveted and  designed to stay cool. A comfortable grip is crucial for control when tossing ingredients or pouring.

Consider the Rim

A flared rim (like on this sauteuse) helps liquids evaporate faster, which is ideal for reducing sauces. A non-drip or reinforced edge makes for cleaner pouring.

Hob Compatibility

If you use an induction hob, you must check that the pan is induction compatible. Not all materials work with induction, so always look for the symbol or specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a 'sauteuse'?

A: A sauteuse is a type of sauté pan with sloped or flared sides, which makes it ideal for reducing sauces and  tossing ingredients easily.

Q: Can this pan go in the dishwasher?

A: While the stainless steel interior is dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand-washing to protect the copper exterior and  preserve its finish and  longevity.

Q: Is the Bourgeat L236 sauteuse heavy?

A: At 1.01kg, it has a reassuring heft that speaks to its quality construction, but it is well-balanced to ensure it's manageable during service.

Q: Why is a copper pan better for sauces?

A: Copper's superior heat conductivity allows for incredibly precise temperature adjustments, helping to prevent delicate sauces like hollandaise from splitting or burning.

Q: Will the handle get hot?

A: The pan features a stay-cool, watertight handle designed to dissipate heat, ensuring it remains safe to touch on the stovetop during normal cooking.

Q: Does the copper tarnish?

A: Like all genuine copper cookware, the exterior will naturally develop a patina over time. It can be easily restored to a bright shine with a suitable copper cleaner.

Q: Does it come with a lid?

A: The compatible lid (K833) is designed to fit perfectly but is sold separately, allowing you to choose whether you need one for your specific cooking style.

Q: What does a 'watertight' handle mean?

A: It means the handle is sealed to prevent water from getting inside during washing, which prevents corrosion and  ensures hygiene and  longevity.

Why a Copper & Stainless Steel Combo is the Chef's Choice

Ever wondered why top chefs rave about copper cookware? Think of it like a high-performance car. The copper exterior is the engine and  accelerator – it reacts to changes in heat almost instantly. Turn the hob up, and  the pan gets hot immediately; turn it down, and  it cools just as fast. This gives you incredible control, preventing delicate sauces from burning or splitting. However, copper on its own can react with acidic foods, like tomatoes or wine.

That's where the stainless steel interior comes in. It's the tough, reliable chassis of the car. It’s completely non-reactive, so your food's flavour stays pure. It's also incredibly durable and  easy to scrub clean after a busy service. This pan gives you the lightning-fast responsiveness of copper with the hygienic, hard-wearing reliability of stainless steel. It's truly the best of both worlds, engineered for a professional kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: For flawless execution of complex sauces and  sautés where precise temperature control is paramount.
  • Boutique Hotels: To equip a discerning kitchen with cookware that reflects the establishment's commitment to quality.
  • Professional Cookery Schools: To teach students the importance of high-quality tools and  the nuances of heat management.
  • Ambitious Gastro Pubs: To elevate their menu with perfectly seared scallops or expertly reduced jus.
