Will this Matfer Bourgeat crêpe pan work on an Indian induction cooktop?

Yes, this Matfer Bourgeat crêpe pan is induction compatible and designed to work on all hob types, including standard Indian induction cooktops, gas stoves, and electric burners. Its flat, magnetic base ensures efficient heating on induction surfaces.

How do I season and care for this black carbon steel crêpe pan?

To season, wash the pan, dry it thoroughly, apply a thin layer of cooking oil all over, and heat it on the stove until it smokes. Repeat this process a few times. For daily care, hand wash with hot water, dry immediately, and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust and maintain non-stick properties.

What is the difference between this carbon steel pan and local Indian non-stick pans?

This Matfer Bourgeat pan is made of uncoated carbon steel, offering superior heat distribution and durability. It develops natural non-stick properties through seasoning, avoiding chemical coatings like PTFE/PFOA found in many local non-stick pans. This ensures a healthier cooking surface and a pan that lasts longer.

Can I use metal utensils with this Matfer Bourgeat crêpe pan?

Yes, once properly seasoned, this carbon steel pan is safe for use with metal utensils. This is a key advantage over coated non-stick pans, which can be easily scratched by metal utensils, compromising their performance and safety.

How do I convert the skillet size to centimetres?

US skillets are measured in inches across the top rim; a 7 5/8 inch pan is approximately 19.6 cm. This size is ideal for making individual crepes or for searing small portions of meat and vegetables.

How to use

Initial Seasoning — Wash the pan with hot water and mild soap, dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (like flaxseed or vegetable oil) all over the pan, inside and out. Heat on the stove over medium-high heat until it smokes, then let it cool. Repeat 2-3 times for a good base layer.
Cooking — Preheat the pan over medium heat for a few minutes before adding oil or food. For crepes, pour batter and swirl to coat. For searing, ensure the pan is hot before adding ingredients. Avoid acidic foods initially until the seasoning is well-established.
Cleaning and Maintenance — After use, clean with hot water and a stiff brush or scraper if needed. Avoid soap, as it can strip the seasoning. Dry immediately and thoroughly with a towel, then apply a very thin coat of oil before storing to prevent rust.
