Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Pelton Spatula, Black
In black, the Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Pelton Spatula is the same slotted fish spatula that America’s Test Kitchen named the winner of its review of nonstick-safe spatulas. It is made for cooks who sear fish and cook eggs in coated pans: the Exoglass composite is safe on Teflon and other non-stick surfaces, and the thin, flexible edge slides under a fillet or a crêpe without tearing it.
Our chef cooks with the Pelton, and in our kitchen it has performed extremely well. Slots in the head drain off oil as you lift, and the one-piece, non-porous body does not absorb odors.
Other Colors and HeadsThe same spatula comes in gray and red for kitchens that color-code their tools. For a head without slots, see the Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Plain Pelton Spatula, Black. Learn More$21.25 -
Matfer Bourgeat Nylon Bowl Scraper
The Matfer Bourgeat nylon scraper is made for working with chocolate, sugar and pastry. It has good flexibility to get into mixing bowls, and it is thin enough to scrape chocolate when tempering on a marble slab.The flexible edge bends to the shape of any bowl, so it is the scraper for batters and fillings; for firm doughs, the rigid Exoglass dough scraper gives more leverage.

Matfer Bourgeat 10-inch Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan
Matfer’s 10-inch black steel pan is the size for searing two steaks or a pair of duck breasts. The heavy-gauge steel holds enough heat to brown meat without the temperature collapsing when the food goes in.Because the handle is welded rather than riveted, there is nothing on the inside of the pan to work around when you clean it, and the pan can go straight from the burner into a hot oven to finish a thick chop.Matfer pans are bought by home cooks as well as by professional kitchens. For a pan with more room, see the 11-inch pan; for a smaller one, the 9 1/2-inch pan.
Searing in Carbon SteelPreheat the pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes, add a high-smoke-point oil, and lay the steak away from you. Leave it until it releases on its own; a properly seasoned pan lets go of the crust when it has formed. The pan’s heavy gauge holds heat when cold meat goes in, so the crust forms instead of the meat steaming. Finish thick cuts in a hot oven in the same pan. Learn More$102.00 -
Matfer Bourgeat 8 1/2-inch Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan
An 8 1/2-inch carbon steel pan is the size for two eggs, a single omelette or a pork chop, and it is a manageable size for learning how carbon steel behaves. It heats in a minute or two, and once seasoned it releases eggs much like a coated pan.Its light weight makes it easy to toss vegetables or swirl butter around an omelette with one hand. For full meals, a 10 or 11-inch pan gives more room; the table in the Details lists every size.Home cooks buy these pans as well as professionals. For a lower-sided pan for crepes, see the 8 5/8-inch crepe pan.
Learning Carbon SteelA small pan is the forgiving way to build a seasoning. Fry bacon or a few potatoes in it the first several times, since fat-rich cooking lays down the patina fastest, and save eggs for when the surface has turned a deep brown. The small base heats evenly on a standard burner, and the pan is light enough to hang on a rail by the stove. Learn More$81.00 -
Matfer Bourgeat 11 3/4-inch Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan
Matfer calls this its 11 3/4-inch black steel frying pan, and the measured rim is 11 5/8 inches. It is large enough for a whole fish, a pound of shrimp or a big batch of fried potatoes, and its heavy steel holds heat through a crowded pan.The handle is welded directly to the body, so there are no internal rivets where food and grease collect. Carbon steel at this size is heavy, about 4.9 pounds, so it suits cooks who want a working pan that stays on the burner.For cooking for two, the 10-inch pan is lighter and quicker to heat. All sizes are compared in the Details.
A Large Pan on a Home RangeCenter the pan on the largest burner and give it a few minutes to heat evenly before cooking; carbon steel conducts heat less evenly than aluminum, so the edges warm after the center. On induction, choose a zone that matches the base. Once hot, the pan holds its temperature through a full batch of potatoes or a whole fish. Learn More$113.00 -
Matfer Bourgeat 9 1/2-inch Carbon Steel Crepe Pan
The largest Matfer crepe pan at 9 1/2 inches turns out large savory galettes and gives a cook the most surface for searing.The Matfer Bourgeat Carbon Steel Crepe Pan heats quickly and evenly, providing excellent temperature control, which is important when making crepes, omelettes or delicate stovetop breads and pastries. Matfer’s crepe pans have lower sides with a wider slope than their fry pans, but are materially the same, so this pan can be used for searing meats and fish, stir-frying and caramelizing vegetables, and for preparing a variety of other dishes.Compare the other sizes in the table in the Details, or see the 10-inch carbon steel fry pan for deeper sides.

Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Pelton Spatula, Gray
The Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Pelton Spatula is a slotted fish spatula for anyone who cooks fish and eggs in non-stick pans, and America’s Test Kitchen named it the winner of its review of nonstick-safe spatulas. Its thin, flexible edge slides under fillets and omelets and turns them without tearing, and the Exoglass composite will not scratch a non-stick coating.

The spatula is molded in one piece from non-porous Exoglass, so there are no seams to trap food, and it does not absorb odors or flavors.
Choosing a ColorThe Pelton is also sold in red as the Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Pelton Spatula, Red, for kitchens that color-code their tools. Learn More$16.25
