Why choose this product

French Engineering for Indian Kitchens

Matfer Bourgeat brings over a century of French culinary expertise to your kitchen. This black carbon steel crêpe pan is built for extreme durability and superior heat performance, outperforming many local alternatives that may compromise on material quality or construction. Its uncoated surface, when seasoned, offers a natural nonstick finish that's free from chemical coatings. Designed to withstand high temperatures and all cooking surfaces, it's a long-term investment for authentic cooking experiences. Imported directly from authorized US retailers and brand partners, ensuring you receive a genuine product.

Who It's For vs. Who Should Skip It

This pan is ideal for home cooks and professionals who value durability, excellent heat control, and a natural nonstick surface for crepes, searing, and stir-frying. It's perfect for those using gas, electric, or induction cooktops, and who appreciate French craftsmanship. Skip this pan if you prefer the convenience of pre-coated nonstick surfaces that require minimal seasoning, or if you primarily cook highly acidic foods like tomato sauces or lemon marinades directly in the pan, as carbon steel can react with acids.

How to use

Initial Seasoning — Wash the pan with hot water and mild soap, dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or flaxseed oil) to the entire surface. Heat on the stove until it smokes, then let it cool completely. Repeat this process 2-3 times for a durable, natural nonstick base.
Cooking — Preheat the pan over medium heat for a few minutes before adding oil or food. Use medium heat for most cooking; high heat is suitable for searing. Avoid cooking highly acidic foods for extended periods, as this can degrade the seasoning.
Cleaning & Maintenance — After cooking, clean with hot water and a stiff brush or scraper. Avoid soap and abrasive cleaners, as they can strip the seasoning. Dry immediately and thoroughly with a towel, then apply a very thin coat of oil to prevent rust before storing in a dry place.
