de Buyer Choc Extreme Sauteuse 20 cm with non-stick coating & handle grips - cast aluminum

Small sauté pan with a capacity of 1.5 liters, a diameter of 20 cm at the top, a cooking surface of 15.5 cm, and a base of 12.5 cm at a height of 6 cm. Sauté pans, also known as tilt or braising pans, are pans with high sides and are used for searing followed by cooking with the addition of liquids.

The body of the Choc Extreme series is made of cast aluminum. Aluminum is pressed into shape under high pressure, resulting in very high stability and strength. Since aluminum is a very good heat conductor, the entire cookware heats up quickly and evenly.

However, aluminum reacts with food. Therefore, the entire body is enclosed in a reinforced and truly extreme robust non-stick coating based on PTFE, oven-safe up to 250 degrees Celsius! No, or hardly any, liquid or fat is needed for cooking. Nevertheless, the food can be easily released and hardly sticks. In our opinion, the Choc Extreme non-stick coating is one of the best coatings currently available. This is also confirmed in daily use in our store and at home.

The handle grips and body of the sauté pan are made from a single piece. This results in the handles heating up, especially when cooking at high temperatures. However, the sauté pan can be safely handled with pot holders or the separately available neoprene handle protection set. Any lid with the same diameter can be used for covering.

The Choc Extreme series has a magnetic steel-reinforced bottom, allowing it to be used on all types of stovetops, including induction, without deforming at high temperatures. The Choc Extreme series can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. However, as usual, we recommend cleaning by hand. This is faster and extends the life of your cookware by multiples.

Are you tired of non-stick coatings that let you down after a short time? Take a chance and try our insider tip: the de Buyer Choc Extreme series. You won't regret it. You can find the complete range and other pans and pots from de Buyer at de Buyer Choc Series.
