Matfer Bourgeat Black Carbon Steel Skillet — 11-Inch, Made in France
The Pan That Gets Better With Every Use
Carbon steel is one of the oldest and most trusted materials in professional kitchens — and for good reason. The Matfer Bourgeat Black Carbon Steel Skillet is made from a single piece of uncoated high-carbon steel, completely free of PTFE, PFOA, and chemical coatings of any kind. With seasoning and regular use, it gradually builds a naturally more stick-resistant cooking surface that's entirely your own.
This isn't a coated nonstick pan. It's something better: a pan that improves with time, develops character, and can last a lifetime.
Why It's Clean
- ✅ Zero coatings — no PTFE, PFOA, or synthetic treatments
- ✅ Single-piece construction — no rivets to harbor grease or rust
- ✅ Seasons naturally over time for an increasingly stick-resistant surface
- ✅ Made in France to professional culinary standards
Performance Features
- Superior Heat Retention — excels at searing meats, fish, and caramelizing vegetables at high heat
- Rivet-Free Welded Handle — ergonomically angled, no crevices for food buildup
- Works on All Cooktops — including induction, open flame, outdoor grills, and ovens
- 11-Inch Size — versatile for everyday cooking and larger portions
Important: Avoid cooking highly acidic ingredients (lemon juice, vinegar, tomato sauce) in carbon steel, as acid can strip seasoning and affect the pan's surface over time. Season the pan according to factory instructions before first use.
As with any cookware, we recommend following care instructions to maintain your pan's performance over time.
