BK Chef's Pan Peter Goossens Maestro 3-Ply Stainless Steel ø 24 cm / 3.4 Litres - with lid - without non-stick coating

Forget those thin chef's pans that create hot spots, evaporate liquid unevenly, and cause your risotto to burn before you know it. The BK Chef's Pan Peter Goossens Maestro 3-Ply Stainless Steel ø 24 cm works fundamentally differently - and you can taste it immediately. This is the pan that allows you to cook at home like a three-star chef, without needing a kitchen brigade.

Why this chef's pan is different from what you know

Peter Goossens is not a name you just stick on a pan. The three-star chef from restaurant Hof van Cleve has literally infused his expertise into the design of this Maestro 3-Ply series. The result is a chef's pan that combines professional precision with the convenience of a pan that fits on any hob in your home. Tri-ply means three layers: two outer layers of stainless steel with an aluminium core in between. This combination is not just marketing talk - it’s the reason why your sauce reduces evenly, your risotto stays creamy, and your vegetables steam without burning.

• Perfect heat distribution - The aluminium core conducts heat quickly and evenly across the entire base, preventing hot spots and ensuring your risotto never burns again.
• Sauces reduce quickly - The conical, flared shape increases the evaporation surface area, allowing moisture to evaporate more efficiently and your sauce to become thicker and more intense in flavour.
• Built-in measurement scale - The internal measurement scale saves you an extra measuring jug: handy, clear, and one less mess on your worktop.
• Intense caramelisation - The stainless steel cooking surface gives that beautiful brown crust and rich depth of flavour that a coating can never match.
• PFAS-free without effort - No coating means no questions about what ends up in your food. Pure stainless steel, pure flavour.
• Scratch-resistant and robust - You can use your metal spatula or whisk without worry - no fuss, no scratches, no panic.
• 15-year warranty - BK stands behind the quality of this pan with an impressive warranty period. That’s not just a promise, that’s certainty.

Tri-ply: the science behind the flavour

Most people think a good pan simply needs to be thick. That’s only half the truth. What really makes the difference is how heat spreads through the material. Aluminium is an excellent heat conductor - much better than stainless steel alone. But aluminium has a downside: it reacts with acidic ingredients like tomatoes or wine. That’s why the Maestro 3-Ply envelops the aluminium core with two layers of stainless steel. Inside, you get a stable, reaction-neutral cooking surface that allows for intense caramelisation while distributing heat exceptionally evenly. That’s tri-ply in practice: not fancy, but functionally smart.

The conical shape of the chef's pan is also not a random choice. The flared walls significantly increase the evaporation surface compared to a regular straight pan. Your sauce reduces faster, concentrates quicker, and it’s much easier to stir with a wooden spoon or whisk. Risotto, beurre blanc, tomato sauce, braised fennel - these are all dishes that simply turn out better in this pan.

Versatile, practical, and effortlessly clean

A pan that only works on gas is a missed opportunity in 2024. The BK Maestro 3-Ply Chef's Pan works on all heat sources: gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, and induction. And because it’s stainless steel with an oven-safe temperature up to 220 degrees Celsius, you can simply slide your pan into the oven when your dish requires it. Finishing risotto in the oven? Reducing sauce under the grill? No problem.

After cooking, you can put the pan in the dishwasher - and it really is as simple as it sounds. Stainless steel isn’t afraid of hot water or soap. Just a note: the handles get warm during use. Not dangerous, but make sure you have an oven glove or pot holder handy. That’s not a weakness of the pan - it’s simply the honesty of solid steel without a hollow air layer.

The included glass lid keeps steam and heat in when you want to steam something, and lets you see exactly what’s happening in the pan without having to lift it. That’s such a small detail that you only truly appreciate when you’re stirring and don’t have to keep checking if your sauce is bubbling away.

The star pan - for your kitchen

Peter Goossens has been cooking at the highest level for decades. His association with the Maestro 3-Ply series speaks volumes about the standard that BK has maintained. But this chef's pan is not just intended for professional kitchens - quite the opposite. The idea was to make professional cooking techniques accessible to anyone who wants to cook seriously well. Whether it’s an elaborate weekend dinner or a midweek risotto that you simply want to get right.

This is the pan you buy when you want to avoid compromise. No non-stick coating that wears out after two years. No pan that warps gently after months. No uncertainty about what’s in your food. Just a solid, expertly crafted chef's pan that will last you for years and deliver what you expect every time.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Start your risotto by toasting the rice dry in the chef's pan before adding the wine. The stainless steel surface gives the rice a slight nutty tint and flavour - a subtle but tasty enhancement that you’ll never achieve in a coated pan. Add the broth ladle by ladle and enjoy how evenly the heat distribution rewards every step.
