  • Pros: The heat distribution is exceptional, giving you brilliant control for searing.
  • Cons: Being hand-wash only means a little extra care after a busy service.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth was struggling with cheaper pans that would warp under the intense heat of their induction hobs, leading to inconsistent cooking and  frequent replacements.

"We switched to the Bourgeat Tradition Plus pans six months ago and  the difference is night and  day. The heat is perfectly even, every time, and  they still look as good as new. Our sauces pour cleanly and  our searing is spot on. They’re simply in a different league."

Liam O'Connell – Head Chef, The Harbour View

The kitchen has reported a significant improvement in food consistency and  has eliminated the need to replace pans every few months, saving valuable budget and  time.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the pan a good wash in hot, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • If using on induction, ensure the hob ring size is a good match for the 240mm base for maximum efficiency.
  • While not essential for stainless steel, a quick season with oil can help build an initial non-stick patina.
  • Always have your ingredients prepped and  ready to go; this pan heats quickly!

Keeping It Going

  • Always hand wash. A dishwasher's harsh detergents can damage the finish and  handle over time.
  • For tough, burnt-on food, soak the pan with warm water and  a little washing-up liquid rather than using steel wool.
  • Avoid using metal utensils harshly to prevent deep scratches in the cooking surface.
  • Store by hanging it up by its handle to prevent scratches and  save on shelf space.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Sauté Pan

Not sure which pan is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the professional's choice for a reason: it's durable, non-reactive, and  provides excellent, even heating. It's a fantastic all-rounder for searing, frying, and  sauce making.

Handle with Care

Look for a handle that's welded, not riveted. Welded handles are more hygienic as there are no crevices for food to get trapped in, and  a 'stay-cool' design is a must for safety.

Base and  Compatibility

An induction-compatible base gives you maximum flexibility. A thick, layered base (like on this pan) prevents warping and  ensures heat spreads evenly without hot spots.

Shape and  Sides

Flared sides, like on this commercial flared saute pan 240mm, are better for quick evaporation when reducing sauces and  make it easier to toss and  flip ingredients like a pro.

The Perfect Pour

Don't underestimate the value of a non-drip edge. It's a simple feature that saves on mess and  makes plating up cleaner and  more professional every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this pan definitely suitable for induction hobs?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Plus range is designed with a special base that works perfectly on all heat sources, including induction.

Q: What does 'flared' mean for a saute pan?

A: It means the sides of the pan slope outwards from the base. This design increases the surface area for evaporation, which is ideal for reducing sauces, and  makes it easier to toss food.

Q: Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

A: Yes, you can. Stainless steel is very durable. However, to keep the interior looking its best, we recommend using wood, silicone, or nylon utensils when possible.

Q: Why is this pan hand-wash only?

A: Harsh dishwasher chemicals and  high temperatures can, over a long period, affect the pan's finish and  the integrity of the watertight handle seal. Hand washing preserves its longevity.

Q: What is the benefit of a 'watertight handle'?

A: It means the handle is sealed to prevent water from getting inside during washing. This stops smelly, dirty water from being trapped and then leaking out during cooking.

Q: Do I need to buy a specific lid for it?

A: Yes, this pan is designed to be compatible with the Matfer Bourgeat K834 lid, which is sold separately.

Q: Is it heavy?

A: It weighs 1.48kg. It has a reassuring weight that speaks to its quality and  thick base, but it's well-balanced to ensure it's comfortable to use throughout a busy service.

Q: Can this pan go in the oven?

A: Stainless steel pans are generally oven-safe, but due to the handle design, it's best to consult the manufacturer's specific guidelines for maximum temperature ratings to be safe.

Why a Reinforced Non-Drip Edge Matters

Ever tried to pour a beautiful, glossy sauce from a pan only to have it dribble down the side, messing up your hob and  your plate presentation?

Think of it like the perfect spout on a high-end teapot, but built for a professional kitchen. It channels the liquid into a neat stream right where you aim it. It's a small detail that makes a huge difference during a busy service, saving you time on clean-up and  ensuring every plate goes out looking immaculate.
