De Buyer Frying Pan Choc Resto Induction - Aluminium - ø 28 cm - standard non-stick coating

Every day a great result in the pan - that's not luck, that's just the right equipment. The De Buyer Frying Pan Choc Resto Induction ø 28 cm is made for those who cook seriously: not occasionally, but day in and day out. Extra thick aluminium, a 5-layer professional quality non-stick coating, and suitable for all heat sources including induction. This is the pan that prepares your kitchen for everything you want to do with it.

Why this pan makes a difference

• Quick and even heating - The extra thick aluminium ensures that the entire base reaches temperature in no time, without hotspots or cold spots.
• Professional non-stick coating - Five layers of solid protection: eggs, fish, and pancakes slide effortlessly out of the pan. No fuss, no burnt edges.
• Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, ceramic, or induction - this pan works everywhere. Thanks to the magnetic stainless steel plate on the base.
• Generous size for enjoyable cooking - With a diameter of 28 cm, you can easily cook a meal for five to six people. Meat, vegetables, omelettes - everything has the space it deserves.
• Made in France - De Buyer has been producing in the Vosges since 1830. That's craftsmanship with a long story.

Thicker aluminium, better results

The material of a pan largely determines how well your dish turns out. Thin pans react chaotically to heat: too hot in the middle, too cold at the edge. De Buyer solves this with extra thick aluminium that absorbs, distributes, and retains heat. The result? You cook calmly and controlled, without constantly adjusting the flame. Whether you're preparing a piece of salmon with a crispy crust or gently stirring eggs without them catching - this pan follows your pace, not the other way around.

The base of ø 18 cm sits firmly on any cooking surface, and the total diameter of 28 cm gives you enough workspace to cook without hassle. The low edge of 40 mm is intentionally kept low: easy to flip, beautifully serve directly from the pan to the table.

5 layers of non-stick - that's not marketing, you notice it

Many pans promise a non-stick coating. De Buyer delivers five. That may sound like a detail, but in practice, it means you work with minimal fat, that delicate ingredients like fish and eggs are no drama, and that cleaning is a matter of a quick rinse. The 5-layer coating of the Choc Resto Induction is professional enough to be used in a restaurant kitchen, yet accessible enough for daily use at home.

One tip: use wooden or silicone utensils. No metal in the pan, that's the one agreement you make with this coating. If you do that, this non-stick layer will last a long time and continue to do its job as it should.

Short in the oven is also possible - a maximum of 10 minutes at 200 °C. Handy if you want to finish a frittata or let a dish gratin without switching pans.

From the Vosges to your kitchen

De Buyer is not a name you know from shiny marketing campaigns. You know it from the professional kitchens where real chefs work - and from home cooks who know that good materials make the difference between a dish that is okay and one that is truly delicious. The factory is located in the Vosges, France, and has been there for over a century and a half. That's no coincidence: it's the reason every pan that comes out is built to last and withstand intensive use.

Washing is done by hand - no dishwasher. That may sound like a disadvantage, but it's just a small habit that greatly extends the lifespan of the non-stick coating. Just rinse with warm water and a soft sponge, and the pan is ready for the next time.

Perfect omelette? Here's how to do it

Heat the pan over medium heat - no rush. Add a small knob of butter and wait until it foams, but does not brown. Beat your eggs, pour them into the pan, and gently move the pan back and forth. Thanks to the non-stick coating, the omelette will slide effortlessly onto your plate. No scraping, no broken egg. Just a beautiful, soft omelette that you serve with pleasure.

The same principle works for pancakes: lightly greased, warm pan, and then enjoy the moment when the edges curl and you can flip the pancake with a swoop. That's cooking as it was meant to be.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Allow the pan to cool completely after use before washing it. Thermal shocks - a hot pan directly under cold water - shorten the lifespan of any pan, no matter how good it is. Just a little patience, and this pan will last you for years.
