de Buyer Choc Intense Sauteuse 28 cm with non-stick coating - Aluminum

Middle sauté pan with non-stick coating in a conical shape from the de Buyer Choc Intense series. This sauté pan has a diameter of 28 cm at the top, a base of 22 cm, and an overall height of 8.5 cm (without handle). Sauté pans are nothing more than pans with high sides. Alternatively, you can also refer to them as woks with a flat bottom. Classically, sauté pans are used for searing and then simmering with the addition of liquid. Perfect for "thick" sauces, one-pot dishes, reheating dishes, and more. The possibilities are very diverse. We can't imagine life without sauté pans.

The body of the Choc Intense sauté pans is made of 4 mm thick and stable aluminum. Aluminum is a very good heat conductor that ensures quick and even heating. If you increase or decrease the energy supply, it will be quickly transferred to the interior. And that on all stovetops, thanks to a magnetic base plate, also on induction fields.

Speaking of the interior: the sauté pan is coated with a reinforced, therefore robust non-stick coating based on PTFE, which prevents food from coming into contact with the aluminum. The non-stick coating is heat-resistant up to 250° Celsius and has high abrasion resistance. With the non-stick coating, you can cook with little to no oil. Although the non-stick coating is equipped to withstand scratches, which are not a big deal and are hardly avoidable. However, to prevent deep scratches, please avoid sharp-edged turners and use silicone or wooden kitchen utensils instead.

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

Theoretically, you could occasionally clean the Intense sauté pans in the dishwasher. Our opinion on this: it's better to clean them by hand. It's easy and quick, and you also extend the lifespan of the non-stick coating.

The de Buyer Intense sauté pans also bring us a lot of joy, as already mentioned. Heating and responsiveness are top-notch, as is the non-stick coating. You will quickly realize that you can use the sauté pan for many purposes. And with a little care, you will have long-lasting enjoyment with them.
