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

You know the feeling: you place a beautiful piece of meat in the pan, and as soon as it makes contact with the metal, the temperature drops. The result? No lovely brown crust, but meat that stews rather than fries. With the De Buyer Frying Pan Milady ø 24 cm, that is a thing of the past. This stainless steel pan is built to retain heat - and you can immediately see the difference on your plate.

Why the Milady is a pan for life

De Buyer has been making cookware in France since 1830, and the Milady frying pan is a perfect representation of that craftsmanship. No plastic handles, no non-stick coating that peels off after two years, no compromises. Just polished stainless steel, a thoughtful construction, and a pan that will look just as sleek in ten years as it does today.

• Solid 7 mm sandwich base - retains heat so that the temperature does not drop when you add meat or vegetables - crucial for a perfect crust
• Heat-stop handle with rivets - the handle stays cooler than a regular stainless steel handle, allowing you to work without oven gloves while frying
• Polished stainless steel without non-stick coating - PFAS-free, scratch-resistant, and still beautiful on your stove after years of use
• Suitable for all heat sources - gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction: the Milady fits on any stove in any kitchen
• Oven safe and dishwasher-safe - from stove to oven, and then straight into the dishwasher: cooking without hassle
• Made in France - authentic craftsmanship, proven quality, no hidden compromises

The base that makes a difference

The 7 mm thick sandwich base is the heart of this pan - and this is exactly where the Milady distinguishes itself from an average frying pan. While thinner pans react immediately to temperature fluctuations, this base acts as a heat reservoir. You heat the pan gently, and once it is at temperature, it distributes that heat evenly and steadily to your ingredients.

The result? A steak with a perfect, crispy crust and a juicy inside. Potatoes that turn golden brown evenly without burnt spots. Eggs that cook gently without catching at the edges. The Milady encourages you to cook more calmly and mindfully - and you can taste that in every dish you serve.

The base diameter of 175 mm is ideal for 1 to 2 people: large enough for a nice piece of meat or a generous portion of vegetables, small enough to keep the heat concentrated.

Stainless steel without non-stick coating: smart, not difficult

Many people shy away from a pan without a non-stick coating. Understandable - but unjustified. A good stainless steel pan that you preheat properly and use with enough butter or oil cooks just as smoothly as a coated pan. And the big advantage? The Milady does not deteriorate. No coating that flakes after a year, no scratches from the spatula that worry you, no doubts about what ends up in your food.

The polished stainless steel is also completely PFAS-free. This is not just a marketing term, but a conscious choice by De Buyer: cookware that is safe for you, your family, and the environment. You fry, you serve, you enjoy - without worries.

And that shiny finish? It is not only beautiful but also functional. The polished surface is easy to clean, attracts less dirt than a matte surface, and still looks well-maintained after years of use. From stove to table, and you won't be ashamed of it for a moment.

The handle that thinks along

The heat-stop system of the stainless steel handle is a detail you only truly appreciate when you work with it. The handle is secured with solid rivets - no glue joints, no internal screws that come loose - and has an integrated system that significantly reduces heat conduction to your hand. No burnt fingers, no hasty grabs for an oven glove in the middle of the frying process.

The grooves at the bottom of the handle also provide a good grip, even when your hands are wet or greasy. That may sound trivial, but when you are manoeuvring with a hot pan, it is precisely those small details that make the difference between a pleasant cooking moment and a stressful experience.

From stove to oven to table

The Milady is fully oven safe, making it more versatile than many people expect from a frying pan. Sear your chicken on the gas, then slide the pan into the oven to finish cooking - and serve directly at the table. Less washing up, more flavour, and a pan that can accompany the entire culinary journey.

And what if you want to clean up afterwards? Just put it in the dishwasher. The Milady is ready for it.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Always preheat the pan gently over medium heat before using it. Do the drop test: drop a drop of water into the pan. If it forms into a rolling ball (the Leidenfrost effect), the pan is at the right temperature. Only then add your butter or oil, and place your meat or fish in the pan. This way, you fry without sticking - even without a non-stick coating.
