The De Buyer Frying Pan Prim'Appety of ø 32 cm is exactly that - the pan that prepares you for every culinary adventure, from a weekday stir-fry to a festive dish for the whole group.

Stainless Steel without non-stick coating: this is the conscious choice

Many people automatically reach for a pan with a non-stick coating. Understandable, because convenience is nice. But do you know what is even better? A pan that performs exactly the same after five years as it did on day one. The De Buyer Prim'Appety is made from high-quality stainless steel (AISI 304) - the material that professional kitchens have trusted for generations. No coating that scratches, no layer that wears off as soon as you use a metal spatula. Just pure steel that you can fry, roast, sear, and deglaze, and then happily put in the dishwasher.

The trick with stainless steel? Heat it well before you add anything, and you will have almost no sticking problems. You will learn this technique naturally, and once you have it down, you won't want anything else. It is cooking as it was meant to be: with an understanding of heat, timing, and material. And that gives you a whole different sense of pride when you serve that perfect steak.

The 3-layer sandwich base: heat that works for you

The base of this pan is no coincidence. De Buyer has built it up from three layers - stainless steel on the outside and inside, with a core that absorbs, distributes, and retains heat. What does that mean in practice? Your onion caramelises evenly. Your pieces of chicken get the same beautiful brown crust all over. Your sauce simmers gently without suddenly burning in the middle.

And that extra grip on the other side? It's not just for show. With a pan of 32 cm and a weight of 1700 grams (plus the food inside), that second grip is worth its weight in gold. Whether you are lifting the pan off the heat or pouring it out, you do it with control - not with tense biceps and held breath.

From stove to oven to table

The Prim'Appety is fully oven-safe, making it more versatile than most pans in its category. Sear your chicken on the stove and then slide the pan straight into the oven to finish cooking - without switching pans, without extra washing up, and with a delicious result that speaks for itself. Perfect for those oven dishes that you always had to prepare in a separate baking dish.

And when you're done? Dishwasher-safe. It's that simple. This pan is made in France, with the expertise of a brand that has been part of the professional kitchen world since 1830. You can taste that in every dish you prepare with it.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Heat the pan well over medium heat before adding oil or butter. Do the water test: drop a drop of water into the pan - if it immediately beads and skitters away (the Leidenfrost effect), the pan is at the right temperature. Only then add your fat, and you will find that stainless steel sticks much less than you thought. This way, you get the most out of your Prim'Appety, every time.
