Crafted from a single piece of uncoated high-carbon steel, it heats rapidly and distributes heat with remarkable consistency. The result is steady browning, even searing, and dependable performance across a wide range of techniques, all without a coating that could wear over time. With proper care and seasoning, the surface develops a natural nonstick patina that improves with use, offering a tactile, responsive cooking experience you can feel as you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, the pan excels at a variety of high-heat tasks. It shines when you’re searing a steak for a caramelized crust, browning fish for a crisp exterior, or tossing vegetables in a quick stir-fry. Its ability to sustain very high temperatures makes it versatile for both fast stovetop work and finishing dishes in the oven. Because it is uncoated, you have a raw cooking surface that rewards technique and patience, inviting you to master seasoning and control rather than rely on coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pan’s construction emphasizes durability and ease of use. The steel handle is welded to the body, providing a strong, clean line that resists rust and grease buildup. An ergonomically angled design helps with sautéing, tossing, and turning foods with confidence. It’s compatible with all hob types, including induction, and performs well on open flames, outdoor grills, or in ovens, making it a versatile option for home cooks and serious chefs alike. Made in France, this pan reflects a longstanding emphasis on durability, hygiene, and consistent results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare and use notes help you maximize longevity. Do not use with acidic ingredients like lemon juice, vinegar, or tomato-based sauces during early seasoning, as they can alter the evolving patina. After seasoning, you can enjoy years of dependable performance with proper cleaning and occasional re-seasoning. The absence of synthetic coatings means your technique and routine matter more than ever, giving you the flexibility to tailor the surface to your favorite cooking styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you can cook with this pan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSearing and browning meats for a deeply colored crust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuick stir-fries with high-heat tossing for crisp-tried vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaramelizing sugars and reducing pan sauces without coatings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinishing dishes in the oven to create caramelized edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEven heat distribution and responsive temperature control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated high-carbon steel, free of PTFE and PFOA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeasoning builds natural nonstick over time with use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInduction-compatible and suitable for various cooking methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrance-made craftsmanship focused on durability and hygiene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInner Diameter: 12.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCooking Surface: ~9.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandle Length: ~10.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: ~5.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What makes the Matfer Bourgeat carbon steel pan suitable for high-heat cooking?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Its uncoated high-carbon steel and fast heat response support searing, browning, and even results without coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can acidic ingredients be used with this pan?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Avoid acidic ingredients like lemon or vinegar; season properly and use high heat for best patina and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Matfer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43387662827603,"sku":"B00076QWUY","price":280.96,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2671\/0611\/files\/matfer-bourgeat-carbon-steel-frying-pan-12-58-inch-outer-shot.jpg?v=1767380051","url":"https:\/\/canadiankitchenstore.ca\/products\/matfer-bourgeat-12-5-8-inch-black-carbon-steel-frying-pan","provider":"CanadianKitchenStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
