Sauce Pans

Crafted in France, the Matfer Bourgeat 7 7/8 inch Copper Sugar Pan is an essential tool for precise confectionery work. Made from unlined solid copper, this pan provides exceptional heat conductivity and responsive temperature control, crucial for delicate preparations like caramel, candies, jams, and jellies. The pure copper construction ensures heat spreads quickly and evenly, minimizing hot spots that can cause sugar to burn or crystallize. Its ability to heat and cool rapidly allows for immediate adjustments, giving you greater command over your ingredients. This generous 3.5-quart pan is particularly well-suited for larger-batch confectionery, offering ample capacity and stable heat for more substantial recipes compared to smaller models. Its size is ideal for producing bigger quantities of caramel, multiple batches of toffee, or a family-sized pot of preserves, providing consistent and even cooking throughout the larger volume. The traditional unlined interior is especially beneficial for sugar work, as copper naturally interacts with fruit pectins to aid in proper setting. Designed for comfortable use, the pan features an insulated steel handle that remains cooler to the touch, offering a secure grip even when working with high temperatures and hot sugar. This Matfer Bourgeat pan is built to the high standards expected by culinary professionals and home cooks who demand consistent results. Learn More

The Matfer Bourgeat 1.75-quart Copper Sugar Pan (Poêlon à sucre) is a specialized vessel engineered for the precise thermal demands of high-level confectionery. Unlike standard cookware, this pan is constructed from solid, unlined copper. This is a critical distinction for the pastry chef: copper’s exceptional thermal conductivity ensures immediate responsiveness to heat adjustments, while the absence of a lining allows sugar to reach the high temperatures required for hard-crack stages and caramelization (320°F+) without the risk of melting a tin liner or delaminating stainless cladding. This 1.75-quart model is particularly well-suited for small-batch confectionery, offering superior precision and control compared to larger, high-volume models. Its 6.25-inch diameter is ideal for perfecting small quantities of caramel, toffee, or a single batch of specialty preserves. The reduced thermal mass of this size allows for quicker and more accurate temperature adjustments—a vital advantage when navigating the delicate transition between sugar stages. The traditional hollow copper socket handle dissipates heat effectively during long boils, while the flared pouring rim ensures clean, surgical transfers to molds or silicone mats. Learn More

Master the Chemistry of Preserves with Solid, Unlined French Copper When you lift the Matfer Bourgeat Copper Jam Pan, the 14 1/8-inch diameter and substantial weight immediately signal its professional pedigree. This isn't merely a pot; it is a specialized tool for the serious saucier and preserver. Unlike multi-purpose cookware, this pan is intentionally unlined. This allows fruit acid to react with the copper, releasing ions that physically bond with pectin. The result is a firmer, more stable set and a vibrant fruit color that stainless steel simply cannot replicate. The flared rim and wide surface area are engineered for rapid evaporation. During testing, we noted how the wide mouth accelerates the reduction of water content, significantly shortening the cooking time. This speed is vital for preserving the fresh, bright flavor profile of delicate fruits like raspberries or apricots, which turn muddy and dull when subjected to prolonged boiling. The heavy-gauge construction prevents the 'hot spots' that plague thinner aluminum or steel pans. Whether you are working over a high-output commercial range or a precise induction surface (with an interface disk), the heat distributes laterally across the base and up the flared sides. The bronze handles are securely riveted, providing a stable grip when tilting the 8.5-quart load to jar your preserves. This is a tactile, heavy-duty instrument for those who view jam-making as both a science and a heritage craft. Learn More
