Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 12 1/2 in. Brasier

When your culinary ambitions scale up, your cookware must rise to the occasion. The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 12 ½-inch Brasier is the definitive tool for grand-scale cooking, from braising a whole leg of lamb to simmering a hearty cassoulet for a gathering of friends and family. Expertly forged in France, this generously sized pan provides the space and superior performance needed to develop the deep, complex flavors that define show-stopping, one-pot meals.


Its expansive, heavy-gauge base is the ultimate stage for achieving a perfect, uniform sear on large cuts of meat and abundant vegetables. This flawless browning is powered by Matfer’s signature "sandwich" bottom, which fuses a highly conductive aluminum core within durable 18/10 stainless steel. This advanced technology ensures heat spreads with remarkable speed and evenness, eliminating hot spots and giving you complete control over the cooking process.


Engineered for both stovetop searing and oven roasting, this brasier is a true culinary workhorse. The robust, watertight handles are designed for a secure, balanced grip, providing safety and confidence when moving a full pot. The reinforced non-drip rim allows for a clean and steady pour, preserving every last drop of your delicious sauces. This is the uncompromising quality and performance trusted by professional chefs for their most important creations.
