De Buyer Frying Pan Alchimy - Stainless Steel - ø 24 cm - without non-stick coating

No coatings. No fuss. Just pure, honest heat that makes your food do exactly what you want. The De Buyer Frying Pan Alchimy of ø 24 cm is the pan for those who understand that good cooking starts with good tools - and who aren't afraid to say so. Stainless Steel in its finest form, made in France, and ready to surprise you every day.

Why this pan makes a difference

There are those pans that you buy, use, and throw away after a year. And then there's the Alchimy. This is not a disposable frying pan - this is an investment in better meals, year after year. Tri-ply construction, no non-stick coating, cool handle: everything about this pan is a conscious choice for people who take cooking seriously but don't want to complicate things.

• Three layers, one result - The tri-ply construction (Stainless Steel - aluminium core - Stainless Steel) distributes heat quickly and evenly, from the centre all the way to the edge. No cold corners, no hot spots.
• No coating, plenty of possibilities - Without a non-stick coating, you can cook at high temperatures and use your metal spatula without worry. No wear, no fuss.
• That handle stays cool - Grab it without an oven glove. No, really. The stainless steel handle does not conduct heat upwards, so you stay in control - literally.
• From kitchen to dishwasher - After cooking, this pan goes straight in the dishwasher. No hand washing, no hassle. Just clean and ready for the next round.
• Works everywhere - Gas, induction, electric, halogen, ceramic: the Alchimy fits on any heat source. And the oven is also an option - handy if you want to finish off a steak.
• PFAS-free - No fluorinated substances, no coatings that wear off and flake. Just honest steel that lasts for years.
• Made in France - De Buyer has been producing in the Vosges since 1830. That's not just marketing, you can taste it in every cooking session.

Tri-ply: the technique behind the flavour

Many pans claim to distribute heat well. De Buyer proves it. The Alchimy is made up of three layers: an inner wall of stainless steel, an aluminium core, and an outer wall of stainless steel for induction compatibility. That aluminium core is the silent strength of the pan - aluminium conducts heat excellently and ensures that the temperature is evenly distributed across the entire base and low rim within seconds.

What does that mean in practice? That your piece of salmon gets a nice, golden crust on all sides at the same time. That your vegetables cook evenly without half burning while the other half is still raw. That you sear meat to an excellent crust - that typical brown exterior that retains flavour and juiciness. This is what cooking is all about: heat that works for you, not against you.

No non-stick coating - and that's just fine

Let's just say it: a pan without a coating asks a bit more of you. A little preheating, a splash of oil, the right moment to flip - these are the basics of good cooking, and the Alchimy teaches them to you naturally. In return, you get a pan that never wears out, never flakes, and never ends up in the rubbish because pieces of coating might end up in your food.

You can use metal kitchen utensils - a metal spatula, tongs, a whisk - without the pan noticing. You can sear at high temperatures like a professional chef does. And after years of intensive use, the Alchimy still looks like a serious pan, not like discarded kitchen equipment.

💡 Tip: Want to release food easily without a coating? Preheat the pan over medium heat, then add your oil or butter and wait until it's hot before placing the food in. A little patience, and you'll be amazed at how well a stainless steel pan releases naturally when given time.

Compact, comfortable, and perfect for 1 to 2 people

With a diameter of 24 cm, the Alchimy is the ideal everyday pan for those cooking for themselves or with a partner. Big enough for a nice chicken thigh, a portion of vegetables, or two perfect omelettes - compact enough to heat up quickly and easy to handle. Weighing 946 grams, it provides a sturdy, stable pan without straining your wrist when lifting.

The total length including the handle is 439 mm, and the inner height is 43 mm. Not too deep for a frying pan, just enough to allow sauces to reduce or prevent oil from splashing over the edge. And thanks to the base diameter of 165 mm, the pan also fits nicely on smaller induction zones.
