Matfer Bourgeat Exopan 9.75" Nonstick Bread Pan with Lid

Engineered for the Perfect Crumb: The Professional Baker’s Exopan Solution

For the professional pastry chef and artisan baker, the Matfer Bourgeat Exopan 9.75" Bread Pan represents the intersection of metallurgical precision and practical utility. Crafted in France, this pan is constructed from a fine-grade steel base that provides the rapid, even heat distribution essential for consistent crust development. Unlike standard bakeware, the Exopan series features a multi-layer, PFOA-free nonstick interior that ensures a clean release for high-sugar doughs, travel cakes, and delicate pound cakes without compromising the integrity of the loaf's edges.

The inclusion of a professional steel lid transforms this vessel into a Pullman-style pan, allowing for the creation of perfectly square slices (Pain de Mie) by restricting the rise. This controlled environment maintains internal moisture, resulting in a tighter, more uniform crumb structure. The exterior is finished with a durable protective enamel that resists the abrasions, dents, and corrosion common in fast-paced commercial environments. To prevent warping under high thermal stress, the rim is reinforced with a copper wire, ensuring the pan maintains its geometry through thousands of bake cycles ranging from freezer prep to 482°F ovens.
