The Matfer Bourgeat 10-inch black carbon steel frying pan is built for cooks who value precision, durability, and timeless technique.

This pan is designed to work across a wide range of heat sources, from modern induction stoves to traditional gas flames, ovens, and even open-fire cooking.

Key benefits that stand out
- Excellent heat distribution and temperature control support precise searing and delicate browning.

To maximize performance, follow the manufacturer’s guidance for seasoning—the process can help develop a natural nonstick surface over time and with repeated use. This approach aligns with a long-term cooking routine focused on flavor development and consistent results.
How to use and care for lasting results
- Before first use: rinse under hot water, scrub away any protective layer, dry thoroughly, apply a light coat of oil, and heat briefly to set the initial seasoning.
- Cooking tips: use oil or fat to promote browning; avoid acidic ingredients like lemon juice or tomato sauce, which can react with bare steel.
- After cooking: wipe clean or rinse with hot water if needed, dry completely, and re-grease lightly to protect the surface.
