Not crispy. Not what you wanted. With the Affinity, that's a thing of the past.

The outside of the Affinity is made from robust stainless steel - strong, hygienic, and resistant to the test of time. Inside is an aluminium core, a material known for its exceptionally good heat conduction. That combination is clever: the aluminium ensures that heat spreads quickly and evenly across the entire base, while the stainless steel keeps the pan sturdy, scratch-resistant, and induction-compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result? No hotspots that burn your steak on one side while the other side is still raw. No endless shifting of the pan above the flame. Just even, controlled heat that lets you cook as you wish - and that reacts immediately when you adjust the heat. That is cooking with a sense of what is really happening in the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWithout coating: more flavour, more freedom, more character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pan without a non-stick coating may sound intimidating to some. But in practice, it’s quite the opposite: you gain more freedom. You can work at higher temperatures - think of that delicious, hot searing of a piece of meat where the Maillard reaction does its work and you get that golden brown crust you dream of. You can use metal kitchen utensils without fear. And you never have to wonder if any coating ends up in your food, because there simply is no coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStainless Steel does require something from you: good preheating, a bit of butter or oil, and patience until the meat releases itself. But once you master that trick, a stainless steel pan cooks better than anything else. And the reward? Meat that colours beautifully, a base full of cooking residues with which you make the tastiest sauces, and a pan that works just as well after ten years as it did on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe handle: ergonomic, sturdy, never comes loose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast stainless steel handle of the Affinity is no afterthought. It is ergonomically shaped so it fits well in the hand - even when you tilt the pan with a full portion of vegetables or meat to scoop out fat. Firmly attached with rivets, not with glue or cheap screws that come loose over time. This is the handle you trust just as much after a hundred uses as you did the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yes - also oven-safe. No plastic, no rubber, so the pan can go straight into the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect size for intimate cooking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ø 20 cm is the ideal size for 1 to 2 people. Think of a perfect omelette for the weekend, a quickly fried chicken breast during the week, or golden brown vegetables as a side dish for a shared dinner. Not too big, not too small - just enough for a tasty moment without leftovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe total base diameter of 14 cm provides a compact but effective contact surface with the heat source. Light enough to handle easily (690 grams), but heavy enough to feel like you are holding something serious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e💡 Cookinglife Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e New to frying with stainless steel? Start with the 'water droplet trick': preheat the pan over medium heat and toss a drop of water into the pan. If it dances and beads like a ball (the Leidenfrost effect), the pan is at the right temperature. Only then add your fat, let it melt, and place your ingredients in. This prevents sticking and brings out the best in your Affinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Affinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frying Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e De Buyer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 mm (ø 20 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 355 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 690 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel with aluminium core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-stick coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePFAS-free:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 2 people\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat sources:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, induction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOven safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher-safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDe Buyer Affinity Frying Pan ø 20 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you ever want to buy a pan that you won’t need to replace in a few years - and that immediately elevates your cooking results - this is it.

The pan is constructed from multiple layers: a robust stainless steel outer layer and an aluminium core. Aluminium is a champion when it comes to heat conduction - it heats up rapidly and distributes that heat evenly across the entire base. The stainless steel gives the pan its strength, durability, and unmistakably neat appearance. Together, they form a pan that responds as a professional chef wants: \u003cstrong\u003edirectly, accurately, and without surprises\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base of ø 16.5 cm is ideal for 1 to 2 people and large enough to sear a nice piece of meat or sauté a portion of vegetables without steaming them in each other's moisture. The total diameter of 24 cm gives you enough space to work, while the pan, weighing around 1 kg, remains pleasantly manageable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSearing as it should be - without coating, full of flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s the truth that every serious home cook discovers sooner or later: the \u003cstrong\u003ebest crust on meat is created in a pan without a non-stick coating\u003c\/strong\u003e. At high temperatures, with a bit of fat, a steak, chicken breast, or piece of salmon cooks in the Affinity to that characteristic golden-brown colour that you smell outside the pan and taste at the table. That’s the Maillard reaction at work, and it works best on hot, pure metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo non-stick coating also means you are in charge of your pan - not the other way around. You can go high temperature, you can use metal spatulas, and you don’t have to worry about damaging the coating. With a bit of maintenance - drying well after washing - this pan stays in top condition, year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast stainless steel handle is securely fastened with rivets and sits ergonomically in your hand.
