Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Bread Pan 9.7 inch

The Professional Standard for High-Rise, Perfectly Uniform Loaves


When your reputation depends on the consistency of every loaf, the Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Bread Pan (SKU 345934) is the tool that delivers. Unlike traditional tin-plated or carbon steel pans that dent, rust, and lose their non-stick properties over time, this 9.7-inch mold is constructed from Matfer’s proprietary Exoglass® material. This advanced composite ensures a uniform heat distribution that eliminates hot spots, resulting in a perfectly even, golden-brown crust every time you bake.


Designed with a specific narrow profile, this pan encourages vertical growth, producing loaves that are taller and more rounded than standard domestic pans. For the professional chef, the durability is unmatched; it is non-porous, easy to sterilize, and NSF-certified, meeting the strictest hygiene standards of commercial kitchens. For the serious home baker, it means an end to the frustration of stuck bread. The naturally non-stick properties of Exoglass mean you can often reduce or eliminate the need for heavy greasing, maintaining the integrity of your dough’s flavor profile. Whether you are running a 24-hour production cycle or perfecting a weekend sourdough, this pan withstands temperatures from -4°F to 482°F, moving seamlessly from the freezer to the oven without the risk of warping. This is not just bakeware; it is a long-term investment in your culinary output.

    Chef’s Note on Material Performance: Exoglass is a 'low-maintenance' material. While metal pans require careful seasoning and can develop 'cold spots' as they age, this composite remains thermally stable. It doesn't lose its shape even after thousands of cycles, making it the preferred choice for industrial bread production where dimensions must remain exact for packaging consistency.


    When We Recommend Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass

    Who it Fits Best

    Professional bakers in high-volume environments and serious home enthusiasts who want the 'French Bakery' vertical rise and are tired of rusting metal pans.

    Where it Excels

    This pan is unbeatable for sandwich loaves, brioche, and yeasted breads where a clean, rounded 'domed' top and smooth sides are required.

    Professional Comparisons

    Unlike carbon steel pans that require seasoning and hand-washing, the Exoglass 345934 is virtually indestructible and dishwasher safe. It is lighter than cast iron but provides more consistent heat than thin aluminum.

    Chef Feedback

    "Line cooks and bakers love this pan because it doesn't dent. In a busy kitchen where pans are dropped or stacked roughly, these maintain their precise dimensions forever."

    Trade-offs & Considerations

    The initial investment is higher than basic retail pans, and because it is a composite, it doesn't provide the 'instant' heat shock of pre-heated heavy cast iron, though it maintains heat much better once at temperature.
