de Buyer Choc Intense Crepe Pan 26 cm with Non-stick Coating - Aluminum

The body of the Choc Intense pans is made of 4 mm thick and dimensionally stable aluminium. Aluminium is a very good heat conductor, which ensures a quick and even heating. If you increase or decrease the energy supply, this is quickly transferred to the inside. And this on all stoves, thanks to a magnetic base plate also on induction fields.

Speaking of the inside of the pan: the inside of the pan is coated with a reinforced, therefore robust non-stick coating based on PTFE, which prevents the contact of food with the aluminium. The non-stick coating is heat-resistant up to 250° Celsius and has a high abrasion resistance. Thanks to the non-stick coating, you can cook with little to no oil. The non-stick coating is prepared for scratches, which are not tragic and can hardly be avoided. But to prevent deep scratches, please avoid sharp-edged turners and use silicone or wooden kitchen helpers.

The Intense pans have a flat handle made of polished stainless steel, which is firmly riveted to the body. At the very flat end of the handle, you can grab the pan at any time. Further forward, it depends on how long and at what temperatures you cook. No plastic or wood on the handle means that the Intense pan is heat-resistant up to 250° Celsius and therefore oven-safe. The handle itself is steeply curved upwards in the French style. This way, it does not take up space on the stove from other pans and pots. At the end of the handle, there is a practical hanging loop.

Theoretically, you could clean the Intense pans occasionally in the dishwasher. Our opinion on this: better not and clean the pans by hand. This is easy and quick and you also extend the life of the non-stick coating.

The de Buyer Intense pans bring us a lot of joy. Heating and responsiveness are top, as is the non-stick coating. With a little care, you will enjoy these pans for a long time.
