de Buyer Choc Extreme frying pan 36 cm with non-stick coating - aluminum die-cast & stainless steel handle

If you're looking for a robust and versatile frying pan that performs even under heavy use, the de Buyer Choc Extreme pan with a 36 cm diameter is just right for you.

The body of this pan is made from 3 mm thick die-cast aluminum, which provides high density and therefore exceptional stability and strength. Aluminum conducts heat excellently, so the pan heats up quickly and evenly and retains heat optimally. This is particularly advantageous for searing meat or preparing skillet dishes where a constant temperature is important.

To prevent the aluminum from reacting with food, the entire interior of the pan is coated with a reinforced PTFE-based non-stick coating. This coating is extremely heat- and abrasion-resistant and allows low-fat cooking since hardly any liquid or fat is needed. Food releases effortlessly, which makes cleaning easier and simplifies the preparation of delicate dishes like fish or omelets.

The ergonomically shaped cast stainless steel handle is riveted and warms only slightly during cooking, so you can handle it safely. Note, however, that for pots and sauté pans with loop handles the body and handles are made from a single piece, which can cause the handles to heat up more. In those cases it is advisable to use oven mitts or a towel.

The base, reinforced with magnetic steel, allows use on all types of stovetops, including induction, without the pan deforming at high temperatures. Although the Choc Extreme series is dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing to extend the life of the non-stick coating.

If you're fed up with non-stick coatings that fail after a short time, try the de Buyer Choc Extreme series. This pan will convince you with its durability and functionality.
