De Buyer Frying Pan Set Lyonnaise Carbone Plus 3-piece - Sheet Steel - ø 20, 24 & 28 cm - without Non-stick Coating

You've probably seen them with that one chef who always knows exactly what he's doing: a dark, sturdy steel pan that looks even better after years of use than on day one. That's no coincidence. That's sheet steel. And with the De Buyer Frying Pan Set Lyonnaise Carbone Plus, you bring that artisanal kitchen practice right into your home kitchen.

Three pans. Three sizes. One ironclad philosophy: no chemical coatings, no fuss, just real material that grows with you. Whether you're frying a perfect omelet for yourself or serving a festive dish for the whole table - this set has every situation covered.

Why the Lyonnaise Carbone Plus is a smart choice

• Classic Lyonnaise design - The flared edges ensure that ingredients slide smoothly out of the pan. Flipping a perfect omelet? No problem.
• Natural non-stick layer without PFAS - No chemical coating, but a seasoning layer that you build up yourself. The more you cook, the better the pan gets.
• Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, or induction: these pans adapt to your kitchen, not the other way around.
• Oven safe up to 200°C - Start on the stove, finish in the oven. No hassle with an extra oven dish.
• Three sizes in one set - 20, 24, and 28 cm: from a quick fried egg to a generous batch of potatoes for the whole family. Each pan has its role, and it plays it well.
• French craftsmanship - Made in France by De Buyer, a brand that has been part of the professional kitchen world for over 185 years.

Sheet Steel: The Pan That Gets Better with Use

Most pans wear out after a few years. Sheet steel does exactly the opposite. Every time you heat and use the Carbone Plus, it builds up a layer - the so-called seasoning layer. That is a natural layer of patina, built up from fat and heat, that makes the pan cook better and better. No PFAS, no Teflon, no artificial coatings - just pure material that does what it needs to do.

At first, the pan cooks neutrally. After a few weeks, you'll notice that you need less fat. After a few months, an egg slides right out. After a year, you'll wonder how you ever cooked without it. That's how craftsmanship works in practice.

All you need to do: properly season the pan before first use, rinse it with warm water after cooking (no soap needed), dry it, and lightly oil it. That's it. No dishwasher - the pan doesn't understand that, and you shouldn't want it either. This is a relationship you maintain, and it pays you back in delicious results.

The Lyonnaise Design: Not Just a Pretty Name

The name "Lyonnaise" refers to the classic French frying pan that has been used for centuries in the professional kitchens of Lyon - the culinary capital of France. The distinctive feature? The slightly flared, high wall with a smooth transition to the bottom. That shape is no coincidence.

The high, slanted edge gives you all the control when flipping and serving. You let vegetables slide smoothly around, tilt the pan for a perfect presentation on the plate, and you can reach into the corners with a spatula without scratching. That's the difference between a pan that works with you and a pan that works against you.

Combine that with the sturdy flat bottom - perfect for even heat distribution on induction and traditional heat sources - and you have a tool that would not be out of place both at home and in a professional kitchen.

Three Sizes, Three Roles - One Set That Can Handle It All

The 20 cm pan is your go-to for a perfect omelet, a quick fried egg, or a small sauce. Light, handy, and heats up quickly.

The 24 cm pan is the everyday workhorse. Chicken breast, vegetables, fried potatoes for two - this is the pan you reach for most often and never disappoints.

The 28 cm pan takes on the big jobs. Steak for multiple people, a generous portion of pasta ingredients, or those slowly caramelized onions that make the whole house smell like you're in a bistro.

Together, they form a set that doesn't shy away from any dish.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Properly season the pans before first use: heat them dry over medium heat until they lightly smoke, rub them with a thin layer of sunflower oil (or another oil with a high smoke point), and heat them again until the oil is absorbed. Repeat this two to three times. This sets the foundation for a great cooking experience - and it gets better every day.
