Matfer Bourgeat Excellence Cookware features a special stainless steel body that provides a high resistance to corrosion. This line of cookware has a no-drip edge meaning when liquids are poured from a flared edge pan, it will cut off the stream instead of having it run down the sides. The insulated steel tube handles prevent heat diffusing and stay cool to the touch. The aluminum sandwich base has shape memory that flattens during cooking, and is covered with magnetic stainless steel, making Matfer Bourgeat Excellence cookware suitable for all cooking surfaces, including induction.
