de Buyer Choc Resto Induction Pan 24 cm with Non-Stick Coating - Aluminum

The body of the Choc Resto Induction series is made from 5 mm thick aluminum. This wall thickness ensures very high stability and resistance to deformation. With aluminum as a heat conductor, the pans heat up very quickly and evenly.

The 5-layer non-stick coating of the Choc Resto Induction series places particular emphasis on non-stick properties. As a result, the non-stick coating may lose a bit of robustness, but if you exercise a little caution, you will hardly notice it. So it's better not to use metallic or sharp-edged spatulas. As with all non-stick coatings, we recommend not heating the pans empty. At least some liquid or oil should be in the pan.

The riveted handle made of strip steel only heats up near the pan, but not in the grip area. With the magnetic steel plate at the bottom, the pans work perfectly on induction cooktops. The perforation ensures optimal heat transfer to the pan on all other types of stoves as well.

You should definitely clean the pans by hand. This is the quickest way and extends the lifespan of the non-stick coating many times over. Additionally, aluminum should not be exposed to long water baths, and the aggressive cleaning agents in dishwashers will greatly affect the handle and especially the aluminum.

To prevent any potential disappointments, here are a few notes about these pans from us:
1) The aluminum exterior of the pans is polished but otherwise untreated. So please don't be surprised by discolorations that will occur with use. You can clean the exterior with any sponges, and most of it will be removable. However, residues may remain with burnt-in oil, for example.
2) Aluminum is known to be a soft material. This means that your pan may already have minimal dents or scratches on the outside even when new. It's not pretty, but it can happen and is really not a big deal. Since these pans are primarily used in gastronomic establishments where function usually takes precedence over beauty, these pans are designed to be a bit more rustic. However, the non-stick coating will definitely be top-notch, and that's what matters.

The Choc Resto Induction series from de Buyer 1830 offers you a very fast-heating pan with a very decent non-stick coating at a really good price. And that's not just said lightly; we say and write this with full conviction.
