Matfer Bourgeat Steel Frying Pan

This pan is not pre-seasoned and arrives with a protective coating that must be thoroughly scrubbed off before your first use. You will need to season the pan yourself to build up its natural nonstick properties.

No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To prevent rust and maintain the integrity of the seasoning, you should hand wash it with hot water and dry it immediately after use.

Yes, the carbon steel construction is fully compatible with all hob types, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.

Unlike pans with chemical coatings, this carbon steel surface is completely PFOA and PTFE-free. It relies on a layer of polymerized oil—the seasoning—to create a natural nonstick surface that actually improves the more you use it.

The handle is ergonomically angled to provide a secure grip and balance, making it well-suited for tossing and flipping ingredients. Because it is a professional-grade steel handle, it will get hot during stovetop use, so you should always use a kitchen towel or oven mitt.

The handle is welded directly to the pan body rather than attached with rivets. This creates a smooth, seamless interior surface that is much easier to clean and prevents food from getting trapped around hardware.
