Matfer Black Carbon Steel Crêpe Pan 9¼" — French-made, Uncoated High-Heat Skillet for Fast Even Heating

Matfer Bourgeat's Black Carbon Steel Crêpe Pan 9 1/4" is a single-piece, uncoated high-carbon steel skillet designed for fast, even heat and long-lasting seasoned nonstick performance.

This French-made crepe pan combines commercial-grade construction with a lightweight profile so you can achieve quick temperature response, confident flipping, and reliable browning. Built without PTFE or PFOA coatings, the pan develops a natural seasoned surface that improves with use; the welded steel handle and induction-ready base make it suitable for home cooks and professionals alike.

How does this pan deliver fast, even heating?

The high-carbon steel body conducts heat quickly and distributes it across the flat cooking surface, reducing hot spots and helping batter cook uniformly. Its low mass allows the pan to reach target temperature faster than thicker cast iron, while still tolerating very high heat for searing and finishing.

• Single-piece carbon steel construction for direct heat transfer
• Thin profile heats and cools rapidly for precise temperature control
• Works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction hobs
• Performs well on grills and in ovens for flexible cooking

Will the pan become nonstick and how do I maintain it?

Because it is uncoated, the pan must be seasoned to build a durable, natural nonstick patina. Regular use and proper seasoning improve release and rust resistance; avoid prolonged exposure to acidic ingredients which can strip the seasoning.

• Season following manufacturer instructions before first use
• Use neutral oils and dry thoroughly after washing
• Avoid acidic sauces (tomato, vinegar, lemon) to protect seasoning
• Re-season periodically to restore nonstick performance

Is the handle and construction suitable for professional kitchens?

The ergonomically angled steel handle is welded to the pan for a rivet-free design that resists food and grease buildup. That robust construction is common in commercial cookware, offering durability for daily use and easy cleaning in busy environments.

• Welded steel handle eliminates rivet crevices and weak points
• Ergonomic angle enhances tossing, flipping and stirring control
• Rivet-less body reduces places for residue and rust to form
• Made in France to commercial durability standards

What cooking styles and heat sources work best with this crepe pan?

Matfer's black carbon steel pan is versatile: it excels at thin-batter crepes, eggs, sautéed vegetables, and quick sears. Its ability to withstand very high temperatures makes it useful on open flames, grills, and in ovens as well as on every stovetop type.
