De Buyer Frying Pan Milady - Stainless Steel - ø 28 cm - without non-stick coating

Cook with stainless steel as it should be - hassle-free, without coating, with complete control. The De Buyer Frying Pan Milady of ø 28 cm is not just a trendy addition to your kitchen, but an investment that proves its worth time and again. Polished stainless steel that shines on your stove, a base that retains heat like a champion, and a handle that stays cool while you flamboyantly fry. This is the pan for those who appreciate the difference.

Why the Milady will become your new favourite frying pan

• Heat that doesn't escape - The 7 mm thick sandwich base retains heat and distributes it evenly. No temperature dip when you place a piece of meat in the pan - the Milady remains calm and controlled.
• A handle that won't burn your hand - The heat-stop system in the stainless steel handle ensures that the grip stays significantly cooler while cooking. Comfortable to work with, even during long frying sessions.
• No coating, no worries - Stainless steel doesn't break. There is no non-stick coating that wears off or gets damaged over time. Just steel - PFAS-free, robust, and honest.
• Universally applicable - Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, induction: the Milady works everywhere. And then it goes in the oven. Or the dishwasher. You choose.
• French craftsmanship you can see and feel - Made in France, polished finish, rivets that hold the handle securely in place. This is quality you can feel in your hand.

The base: the heart of the Milady

This is where the difference lies. The 7 mm thick sandwich base is what distinguishes the Milady from an average frying pan. That thickness is no coincidence - it is science serving your kitchen. Heat is stored in the base and distributed across the entire cooking surface. Steak on? The base doesn't drop in temperature. Adding vegetables? The pan recovers rapidly. You always maintain control over your cooking process.

The base has a diameter of 210 mm - large enough for a nice steak or a generous portion of fried potatoes, but compact enough to keep the heat concentrated. That is exactly the balance you seek when cooking seriously for 5 to 6 people at once.

And that polished steel? It's not just beautiful to look at. It gives you a cooking surface that performs consistently - and still looks just as stylish after years of use as it did on day one.

Smartly designed for the person behind the stove

De Buyer has thoughtfully considered who uses this pan. The stainless steel handle is secured with rivets - no glue, no screws that come loose, just sturdy metal connections that last for generations. The grooves on the underside of the handle provide a comfortable grip, even when your hands are wet or you are working with a tea towel.

The heat-stop system in the handle is one of those small details that you only truly appreciate when you use it. The handle gets significantly less hot than a fully metal handle. This means you can work with more comfort - and you won't need to reach for a pot holder as quickly.

Total length of 490 mm: long enough to work comfortably, even when preparing a large quantity in the pan and your wrist movement needs space. The height of 60 mm keeps ingredients inside the pan even when you are stirring or flipping vigorously. Everything is just right.

Cooking with stainless steel - how to get the most out of it

Cooking with stainless steel is a different experience than working with a non-stick coating - and that's the point. With good technique, you can achieve results with the Milady that you could never reach with a coated pan: that deeply caramelised crust on a piece of meat, the meat that releases itself when you let it sit for a moment, the Maillard reaction that elevates your dish to the next level.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Always preheat the Milady gently over medium heat before adding oil or butter. Test the temperature with a drop of water - do the droplets dance across the base? Then the pan is at temperature and nothing will stick. This is the secret to successful cooking in stainless steel, and once you master it, you'll want nothing else.
