Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Table, a popular bistro in York, decided to overhaul their ageing cookware to improve consistency during their busy evening service. They needed pans that could handle high heat repeatedly without warping or losing performance.

“We were burning through cheaper pans every few months. The Matfer Bourgeat skillets are in a different league. The heat control is superb, and  they just feel solid. Our line cooks are happier, and  the food is more consistent, which is all that matters.”

Robert Finch – Head Chef, The Corner Table

After the switch, the kitchen reported a 20% reduction in cooking time for key dishes due to superior heat transfer and  retention.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Dry the pan completely before placing it on a heat source.
  • For best results, lightly season the non-stick surface with a small amount of cooking oil on first use.
  • Always match the pan base size to the hob ring for optimal energy efficiency and  even heating.

Keeping It Going

  • Avoid using metal utensils which can scratch and  damage the non-stick coating; stick to wood, silicone, or nylon.
  • While durable, hand-washing is recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick surface.
  • Never plunge a hot pan into cold water, as the thermal shock can cause it to warp.
  • Regularly check that the welded handle remains secure and  stable.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Frying Pan

Not sure what to look for? Here’s a quick guide to help you find the perfect pan for your professional kitchen.

Material Matters

Stainless steel offers incredible durability and  is non-reactive, while an aluminium core or base is crucial for fast, even heating. This pan offers the best of both.

Base Construction

A thick, heavy-duty base prevents warping and  ensures even heat distribution. Look for 'sandwich' or 'clad' bases for superior performance on any hob.

Handle with Care

A 'stay cool' handle is a must-have for safety in a fast-paced kitchen. Welded handles are generally more hygienic than riveted ones as there are no crevices for food to get trapped in.

Size and  Shape

A 200-240mm pan is a versatile all-rounder, ideal for everything from eggs to searing individual portions of meat or fish. Flared sides make tossing and  turning food easier.

Non-Stick Quality

For a commercial non-stick frying pan, look for multi-layer coatings that are PFOA-free and  designed to withstand higher temperatures and  frequent use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this frying pan suitable for induction hobs?

A: The stainless steel body and  sandwich base make it suitable for all heat sources, including gas, electric, ceramic, and  induction hobs.

Q: Can I put this pan in the oven?

A: Yes, the all-metal construction means this pan is oven-safe, which is perfect for finishing dishes or keeping them warm. Always check the manufacturer's recommended maximum temperature.

Q: Is the Matfer Bourgeat FB100 skillet dishwasher safe?

A: While it can withstand a dishwasher, we strongly recommend hand-washing to preserve the integrity and  lifespan of the non-stick coating.

Q: How 'stay cool' is the handle, really?

A: The handle is designed to dissipate heat and  will remain cool enough to handle on the stovetop during normal cooking. However, it will get hot in an oven, so always use an oven glove.

Q: What's the best way to clean the non-stick surface?

A: Use a soft sponge or cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners which will damage the coating.

Q: Does the pan come pre-seasoned?

A: Non-stick pans don't require seasoning in the same way as cast iron. However, a quick wash and  a wipe with oil before first use is always good practice.

Q: What makes a 'welded' handle better than a riveted one?

A: Welded handles create a seamless interior, which is more hygienic as there are no rivets for food particles and  bacteria to get trapped behind.

Q: Is this pan heavy?

A: At 0.79kg, it has a reassuring heft that speaks to its quality and  helps it sit securely on the hob, but it is not uncomfortably heavy for daily use.

What Customers Are Saying

“Absolutely brilliant pan. Heats up fast and  evenly, and  the non-stick is holding up perfectly to daily use. Feels like it will last forever.”

Clara Evans – The Copper Pot Café, Manchester

“A very well-made professional non-stick frying pan. My only minor gripe is I wish the handle was a bit more ergonomic, but its performance is faultless.”

Ben Carter – Sous Chef, Bath

Why a 'Sandwich' Base is Your Secret Weapon

Ever wondered what the 'sandwich' aluminium heat diffuser base actually does? Think of it like a premium sound system for your hob. A single-layer metal pan is like a cheap speaker—it plays the music, but you get tinny highs and  muddy lows. This pan's base, however, has a thick layer of highly conductive aluminium 'sandwiched' between two durable layers of stainless steel.

This construction forces heat to spread out evenly across the entire base before it reaches your food, just like a good speaker spreads sound evenly around a room. The result? No more hot spots that burn one side of your salmon while the other is still raw. You get total, even heat, giving you ultimate control and  perfectly consistent cooking results every single time. It's the kind of hidden detail that separates good cooking from great cooking.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bistros & Restaurants: Perfect for creating individual main courses, searing proteins, or preparing delicate pan sauces with precision.
  • Boutique Hotels: An essential for room service orders and  the breakfast rush, ensuring quality from a compact footprint.
  • Gastropubs: A durable and  reliable 200mm restaurant frying pan for elevated pub classics and  daily specials.
  • Culinary Schools: An excellent, hard-wearing pan for students learning the fundamentals of heat control and  pan work.
