  • Lid Not Included: Remember to purchase the compatible lid separately if you need one.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Walled Garden, a popular bistro in York, decided to upgrade their cookware after finding their existing pans were warping on their new induction hobs.

"We needed pans that could take the heat and  keep their shape. The Bourgeat Tradition Plus pans have been brilliant. They sit perfectly flat, heat up incredibly evenly, and  the build quality is obvious. No more hotspots, just consistent cooking every time."

Eleanor Vance – Head Chef

The upgrade resulted in a noticeable improvement in cooking consistency across all stations and  a 20% reduction in oil usage due to the superior flat base.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first use, give the pan a good wash with hot, soapy water and  rinse well.
  • For the best energy efficiency and  performance, always match the pan's base size to the hob ring.
  • To achieve a great sear, allow the pan to pre-heat gently over a medium heat before adding oil or food.

Keeping It Going

  • Although fully dishwasher safe, handwashing is recommended to maintain its original lustre.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers or steel wool; a non-scratch pad will do the job perfectly.
  • For any stubborn, burnt-on food, let the pan soak in warm, soapy water instead of scraping it.
  • Make sure the pan is completely dry before you put it away to prevent water spots.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Frying Pan

Not sure which pan is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Heat Source Compatibility

First things first, check if the pan works with your hobs. The Bourgeat Tradition Plus 240mm frying pan is induction-ready, making it brilliantly versatile for any modern kitchen.

Material Matters

Stainless steel offers incredible durability and  heat retention, which is why it's a favourite among pros. It's heavier than aluminium, but built for reliability under pressure.

Size and  Capacity

A 240mm (24cm) pan is a fantastic all-rounder for individual mains, sautéeing side dishes, or finishing sauces. Think about the main jobs you'll use it for.

Handle with Care

A stay-cool, securely riveted handle is vital for safety and  comfort, especially during a long, busy service. Look for watertight designs that won't harbour bacteria.

Weight and  Balance

A heavier pan holds heat better but can be tiring. This pan strikes a superb balance between a solid, heat-retaining base and  a comfortable weight for daily use.

"An absolute workhorse. Feels fantastic in the hand and  the heat distribution is spot on. This professional frying pan is worth every penny."

David Chen – The Gilded Spoon, London

"Really solid bit of kit. We use it on induction and  gas. The only tiny point is the handle can get warm on very long jobs, but a cloth solves that. Highly recommended."

Why a Reinforced Edge Matters in a Pro Kitchen

Ever wondered what the 'reinforced non-drip edge' and  'ultra thick bumper' really do? Think of it like the reinforced corners on a high-quality suitcase. In a busy kitchen, pans get knocked about on hobs, tapped on bin edges, and  stacked in sinks. That reinforced 'bumper' edge is designed to absorb those daily impacts, preventing the pan from denting or, more importantly, warping. A warped pan won't sit flat on the hob, leading to hot spots and  uneven cooking. This feature ensures your pan stays perfectly flat for years, giving you reliable results every time, while the non-drip lip lets you pour sauces with confidence—no messy dribbles down the side of the pan or onto the plate.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Essential for precise searing of proteins and  creating flawless pan sauces for signature dishes.
  • Boutique Hotel Kitchens: A reliable, heavy-duty saute pan for everything from à la carte mains to room service orders.
  • High-End Gastro Pubs: Ideal for pan-frying fish or sautéeing seasonal vegetables with consistent, professional results.
  • Culinary Schools: A perfect example of professional-grade equipment for teaching students about heat control and  durability.
