de Buyer Choc Extreme saucepan with handle 20 cm / 2.8 L with non-stick coating - cast aluminum mold

The Choc Extreme pans and pots from the French manufacturer are truly extremely good. We’re not saying that lightly, but because pans from this line have served us well for years. Specifically, one pan from this series lasted over 10 years before we had it recoated.

The body is made from die-cast aluminum. In this process aluminum is pressed into shape under high pressure, achieving a high density. The result is extreme stability and strength. Since aluminum itself is a very good conductor of heat, the entire cookware heats up quickly and, above all, evenly. In addition, the dense material retains heat very well.

However, aluminum reacts with food. Therefore the entire body is encased in a reinforced and truly extremely robust PTFE-based nonstick coating, oven-safe up to 250 degrees Celsius! Little to no liquid or fat is needed for cooking. Nevertheless, food releases easily and barely sticks. In our view, the Choc Extreme nonstick coating ranks among the best coatings available today. This is also confirmed by daily use in our store and at home.

The riveted handle is made from ergonomically shaped cast stainless steel, or a hollow stainless steel handle. It warms only slightly, but does not overheat. For pots and sautés with side handles, the body and handle are made from a single piece. We won’t sugarcoat it: these handles do get quite warm, if not hot. So have oven mitts or a towel ready.

Speaking of rivets. If there is any weak point in the Choc Extreme series at all, it would be the rivets. Don’t worry, they do not come loose. The protective coating on the rivets will, however, come off after some time and bare steel will appear. You don’t need to be concerned about that. The function of the pan or the nonstick coating is not affected at all. We just wanted to mention it so you won’t be surprised or annoyed.

Der mit magnetischem Stahl verstärkte Boden der Choc Extreme Serie ermöglicht den Einsatz auf allen Herdarten inklusive Induktion ohne sich bei hohen Temperaturen zu verformen. Reinigen kannst du die Choc Extreme Serie auch in der Spülmaschine. Wir empfehlen - wie gewohnt an dieser Stelle - aber die Reinigung von Hand. Das geht eh schneller und verlängert die Lebensdauer deines Kochgeschirrs um ein Vielfaches.
