De Buyer Frying Pan Choc - Aluminium - ø 32 cm - standard non-stick coating

Are you frustrated when your egg sticks to the pan, your salmon falls apart, or your pancake looks like a Picasso painting? With the De Buyer Frying Pan Choc ø 32 cm, those days are over. This is the pan that professional chefs have trusted for years - and now it belongs in your kitchen.

Why this pan is different from the rest

Many non-stick pans promise the world but give up after a year. De Buyer thinks differently. The Choc pan is made from extra thick aluminium (4 mm) and features a 5-layer professional quality non-stick coating. This is not just marketing talk - you’ll notice it the first time you use it. Your egg slides right out, your fish stays intact, and your pancakes turn golden brown just the way you want them.

• Rapid and even heating - The thick aluminium distributes heat evenly across the entire base, without hotspots or cold spots. Everything cooks evenly, every time.
• Enough space for the whole group - With a diameter of 32 cm, you can cook for 7 to 8 people at once. No need for two rounds of cooking, no waiting at the table.
• Professional quality for everyday use - Made for intensive use. Not just for a one-off, but for years.
• Eggs and fish slide right off - The 5-layer non-stick coating is so smooth that you hardly need any fat. Lighter meals, less hassle.
• Made in France - De Buyer has been producing in the Vosges since 1830. You can taste that craftsmanship in every dish you prepare.

The secret is in the aluminium

A good pan starts with the material - and here De Buyer makes the difference. The extra thick 4 mm aluminium ensures that heat spreads directly and evenly across the entire base. No more hot spots where your butter burns while the rest of the pan is still cold. From the moment you place the pan on the heat, you know: this works.

This quick heating time is not only convenient - it also saves energy. You don’t need to set the heat source as high to achieve the same results. And because the pan retains heat so well, you can continue cooking on a lower setting. Perfect for that delicate omelette or the salmon that you want just cooked enough, with a nice crust.

The pan weighs 1300 grams - heavy enough to sit stable on the stove, yet still comfortable to handle. Even when it’s full of a steaming pasta omelette or a generous portion of fried potatoes.

5 layers of non-stick - because one layer is not enough

The non-stick coating of the Choc pan is not just a thin layer of paint. It consists of five layers, professionally applied, that work together to give you a clean, effortless cooking experience every time. Whether you’re frying eggs, frying fish, flipping pancakes, or folding an omelette - everything releases without tearing, sticking, or pulling.

Because the non-stick coating is so effective, you hardly need any fat. A small amount of butter or olive oil is enough. This makes the Choc pan not only enjoyable to use but also a smarter choice if you want to be mindful of what you eat.

Note: to keep the non-stick coating looking good for as long as possible, wash this pan by hand. No dishwasher - just a quick wash with warm water and a soft sponge. That’s the small effort you make for years of cooking pleasure.

Flexible on almost any stove - and even in the oven

The De Buyer Choc ø 32 cm works excellently on gas, electric, and ceramic. Do you have an induction stove? Then this is not the right version for you - but for everyone with a conventional stove, this is exactly the pan that’s missing from your kitchen.

Bonus point: the pan can go in the oven for a short time, up to 10 minutes at 200 °C. Handy if you want to finish a dish under the grill or keep it warm. Just enough flexibility for those culinary moments when you want to apply that one trick.

The pan has a total length of 556 mm including the handle, and the handle is securely attached - even when the pan is full. No wobbling, no shaking. Just stable cooking as it should be.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Always preheat the pan on medium heat before adding fat. Only then add your butter or oil and wait until it’s nice and hot before placing your ingredients in. This way, you get the most out of the non-stick coating and achieve that perfect golden crust you desire.

Great cooking for those who love to cook

A 32 cm pan - that’s not a small purchase. This is the pan you reach for when you’re serious about cooking. When you’re cooking for the whole family, when friends come over for an elaborate weekend breakfast, or when you just want to make that one recipe that always feeds everyone. For 7 to 8 people at once, in a pan that distributes heat evenly and cooks everything uniformly.

That’s what De Buyer has understood for more than a century and a half: a good pan is not a disposable item. It’s an investment in every meal you will ever prepare. And every time you use it, that investment pays off - in taste, in convenience, in that satisfied feeling when everyone at the table enjoys what you’ve made.
