Matfer Bourgeat 10 1/8 in. Carbon Steel Fry Pan

The Professional's Workhorse: Matfer Bourgeat Black Carbon Steel


For chefs who demand the thermal mass of cast iron without the weight or the fragile coating of chemical non-stick, the Matfer Bourgeat 10-inch Carbon Steel Fry Pan (062003) is the definitive choice. This isn't a consumer-grade skillet; it is a heavy-duty tool built to withstand 18-hour shifts. The black carbon steel construction allows for rapid temperature response, making it as effective for delicate pan-seared scallops as it is for a heavy ribeye.


What sets the Matfer Bourgeat apart is its structural integrity. Unlike pans with stamped rivets that collect bacteria and carbonized fat, this pan features a high-quality welded steel handle. This creates a perfectly smooth interior cooking surface, allowing your spatula to move unimpeded while ensuring total food safety and hygiene. Over time, as you season this pan with oil and heat, it develops a natural patina that outperforms PTFE coatings while remaining entirely PFOA-free. Whether you are deglazing on a high-BTU gas range or utilizing the precision of a modern induction hob, the 062003 remains perfectly flat and responsive. This is a pan designed to be passed down through generations of cooks, growing more effective with every service.

    When We Recommend the Matfer 062003

    Who it Fits Best

    Professional line cooks and serious home enthusiasts who want a 'forever' pan and understand the ritual of seasoning.

    Where it Excels

    Searing proteins, high-heat sautéing, and finishing dishes in the oven. It is unbeatable for creating a maillard reaction crust on steaks.

    Professional Comparisons

    Heavier and more durable than aluminum non-stick pans; smoother and more responsive to temperature changes than Lodge cast iron.

    Chef Feedback

    "The rivetless design is a game-changer for omelets and delicate sauces—nothing gets stuck in the corners, making it the most hygienic steel pan on the market."

    Trade-offs & Considerations

    It is heavier than stainless steel and requires active maintenance. If you are not willing to dry and oil it after every use, stainless steel may be a better fit.
