Our Brands

de Buyer 1830

In professional kitchens, the cookware of the French manufacturer de Buyer 1830 has long been a staple. Quality, functionality, and durability are the top priorities in development. Then comes the appearance, which is also not to be underestimated. Stainless steel and copper (even suitable for induction) are the preferred materials. The iron pans from de Buyer have now achieved cult status.

Invicta

The traditional iron foundry Invicta has been based in Donchery, Champagne-Ardenne region, France, since 1924 and still manufactures classic cast iron casseroles mostly by hand. High-quality cast iron is the ideal material for stewpots because it distributes heat evenly and retains it for a long time. The cast iron Invicta cocottes are true all-rounders: With them, you can sear, roast, simmer, steam, braise, candy, caramelize, emulsify, reheat, … and also serve thanks to their beautiful appearance!

Riess

The core business of the Austrian family company is enamel cookware, and this has been the case since 1922. Almost everyone who loves to cook knows these white or colorful enamel pots. Some claim they are currently making a comeback. In reality, however, the pots were never out of fashion. The enameled steel is an excellent heat conductor, heats up quickly, and naturally has light non-stick properties. We find Riess to be very »leiwand«.

Rösle

You probably already know the kitchen helpers from Rösle. Some of them can be found in almost every household. Rösle is now also developing cookware that lives up to the good reputation of the kitchen helpers. Rösle cookware impresses with innovative ideas and a very good price-performance ratio.

Skeppshult

In the far north, more precisely in Sweden, there is a place considered the cradle of cast iron production. The brand Skeppshult is based in the town of the same name. Pure, archaic, heavy cast iron, seasoned with rapeseed oil, is the core business of the manufactory. Skeppshult is among the best manufacturers of cast iron products worldwide.



If you miss a brand you know here, it does not automatically mean that we do not consider it good. At the moment, however, we want to focus on this selection.

The Products

Pots

Are you looking for classic pots? Tall pots? Or a saucepan? We have them! And even in different materials. You can choose from pots made of enamel, stainless steel, copper, and cast iron in various sizes and shapes.

Roasters

If you want to prepare a hearty goulash or a delicious Boeuf Bourguignon, then take a look at our roasters. Roasters are usually pots that are slightly flatter than normal. This minimizes the evaporation of condensation. The braised dish dries out less and remains juicy. Cast iron cocottes are often the first choice for dishes of this kind, but roasters made of enamel, stainless steel, and copper are also very suitable.

Pans

The largest volume in our range is taken up by pans. We probably have the right pan for every purpose ready for you. In addition to the various materials such as stainless steel, copper, enamel, iron, and cast iron, we also offer some pans with practical non-stick coatings. All pans are available in different sizes, shapes, and with different heights. Maybe a sauté pan is just to your taste. If the large selection seems overwhelming, just contact us. Together we will surely find YOUR pan.

Pot & Pan Sets

Everyone cooks individually, so the decision for the right range of cookware is a personal story. You will find a few good, well-thought-out suggestions here. Maybe the right set for your needs is right here?!

Pot & Pan Lids

For every pot and (almost) every pan, there is probably a matching lid. If you are missing a suitable lid, take a look at our selection here. There are lids made of glass, stainless steel, copper, enamel, and cast iron. So, my dear, which lid-heartthrob will you choose?

Pot & Pan Inserts

Do you want to steam or fry with your pot or pan? You can! All you need is a suitable insert, and we have it ready for you here.

Woks

Asian cuisine is unthinkable without a wok. But woks are also very useful in everyday use for dishes without an Asian touch. Chop ingredients into small pieces, cook while stirring constantly, done. If you're in the mood for soup, that works very well with a wok too.

Casserole Dishes

This is about the products used in the oven for preparing gratins and casseroles. Preferred materials at Butch for casserole dishes are cast iron, hard porcelain, ceramic, and enamel.



Frequently Asked Questions about Cooking & Roasting

Which materials are best suited for pans and pots?

Pans and pots made of cast iron, stainless steel, or copper offer excellent heat conduction and retention. Cast iron retains heat particularly well, while stainless steel is robust and easy to care for. Copper scores with quick responsiveness to temperature changes.

How do I properly care for my cast iron pan?

After use, clean with warm water and a brush, without detergent. Then dry well and rub thinly with oil to prevent rust formation. This way, your pan remains ready for the next frying adventure.

What is the difference between roasting and braising?

When roasting, the food is cooked at high temperature without liquid to create a crispy crust. Braising combines searing with subsequent cooking in a little liquid at low temperature, ideal for tender meat and intense flavor.

Which fats are suitable for frying at high temperatures?

For searing, fats with a high smoke point are ideal, such as clarified butter, peanut oil, or refined rapeseed oil. They remain stable and provide delicious roasting aromas without unwanted substances forming.

How do I prevent my food from sticking to the pan?

Preheat the pan well before adding the oil. Then add the oil and wait until it is hot. Only place the food in the pan when the oil shimmers. This minimizes sticking and achieves a nice crust.

Why should you let meat rest after roasting?

After roasting, the meat relaxes, and the juices distribute evenly. This keeps it juicier and more tender. A few minutes of patience are worth it for the perfect enjoyment.
