Product Information

Full details

The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence Saucepan (16cm) is designed for professional chefs and serious home cooks who require a reliable, high-performance vessel for sauces, reductions, and daily stovetop tasks. Its standout benefit is the combination of a reinforced construction and a water-tight handle design that ensures both longevity and hygiene; however, users should note that as a professional-grade stainless steel pan, it requires proper heat management to prevent sticking during high-heat cooking.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the saucepan dishwasher safe?

While the pan is built for professional durability, hand washing is recommended to preserve the aesthetic finish and performance of the stainless steel.

Can this pan be used in the oven?

Yes, the stainless steel construction and welded handle design allow for oven use, provided you use an oven mitt as the handle may still conduct heat.

Does this pan come with a lid?

No, this model does not include a lid; lids are generally sold separately for professional series cookware.

What is the capacity of this saucepan?

This 16cm model features a 1.6L capacity.

Why are there no rivets inside the pan?

The handles are welded to the exterior, creating a smooth interior surface that prevents food buildup and makes the pan much easier to clean and sanitize.

Is it suitable for induction cooktops?

Yes, the Excellence series is fully compatible with induction hobs.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the base

Ensure the pan is preheated correctly before adding fats or ingredients, and use medium heat rather than high heat.

Discoloration or rainbow stains on interior

This is typically caused by mineral deposits or heat tint. Clean with a mixture of water and vinegar or a specialized stainless steel cleaning agent.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Seamless, rivet-free interior for superior hygiene
  • Extremely durable construction for daily professional use
  • Compatible with all heat sources including induction
  • Easy to clean due to the smooth internal finish
  • Certified for commercial safety and quality

Cons

  • Stainless steel requires heat control to prevent food adhesion
  • Lid not included (typical of professional pans)
  • Higher initial investment compared to non-stick consumer pans

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Setup: Before first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Compatibility: The base is perfectly flat, ensuring optimal contact with induction hobs. It is equally performant on gas burners, though you should ensure the flame does not extend up the sides of the pan.
  • Care: While the pan is durable, it is recommended to wash by hand with a non-abrasive sponge. To maintain the shine, a stainless steel cleaner can be used periodically. Avoid using harsh steel wool or chlorine-based detergents, which can damage the metal surface.
