de Buyer Choc

Choc – this collection name stands for professional cookware made of aluminum with non-stick coating from de Buyer, our top French brand manufacturer. In the Butch Shop, we carry these four series from the Choc collection:

Our advice: Butch generally recommends using kitchen utensils made of plastic or wood when handling non-stick cookware. However, even these materials can cause scratches if you use them with too much force or at steep angles. Therefore, some caution is also required when working with these tools. And while we're on the subject: small scratches are hard to avoid and are not a problem, even in cookware with non-stick coating. However, if the coating starts to bubble or peel off in places, then the pan belongs in the trash and you should treat yourself to a new one.

Choc Resto Induction

Material | The Choc Resto Induction series includes pans made of 4-5 mm thick aluminum in various sizes. These pans are equipped with a PTFE-based non-stick coating, which reliably prevents food from sticking. Please only use plastic or wooden spatulas and kitchen utensils, as sharp objects such as forks or metal cooking utensils can damage the coating and significantly reduce the lifespan of your pan.
The outside of the Choc Resto Induction pans is untreated and consists only of polished aluminum. This surface is susceptible to scratches and crusts, but this only affects the appearance, not the functionality.

Handle | The handle is made of strip steel and is firmly riveted to the pan body. This handle only heats up near the pan - it remains easy to grip at the end of the handle.

Temperature | Non-stick pans should never be heated empty, so add cooking fat or food to the pan in good time. The Choc Resto Induction series heats up quickly, is suitable for high temperatures, and is heat-resistant up to 260 °C. You can briefly place the pans in the oven at a maximum of 200 °C to keep a dish warm, for example.

Types of stoves | Each pan has a magnetic base plate to allow use on induction stoves.

Cleaning & Care | Please clean the Choc Resto Induction pans gently by hand. They will thank you with a long lifespan.*

Choc Intense

Material | The Choc Intense collection is made of 4mm thick forged aluminum and includes pans, sauté pans, and crepe pans in different sizes. The forging process makes the aluminum harder and more durable. A thick, reinforced PTFE-based non-stick coating ensures excellent frying properties and high abrasion resistance. However, this non-stick coating is sensitive to scratches and mechanical stress, so the manufacturer and we recommend careful use of kitchen utensils made of wood or plastic. The Choc Intense range has a matte black exterior coating that protects the aluminum against external influences.

Handle | Choc Intense items have a flat stainless steel handle. This handle only heats up near the pan body. The flat end piece of the handle is usually easy to grip.

Temperature | The Choc Intense series heats up quickly, is very controllable, and is suitable for high temperatures. The pans are even oven-safe up to 250°C. Please do not heat empty - non-stick pans cannot handle that!

Temperature | The Choc Extreme collection is oven-safe up to 250 °C. Heating is slightly slower compared to the other Choc series due to the high material thickness. However, this series reaches higher temperatures. Once heated with food inside, you can reduce the energy supply a bit - the temperature will still be maintained.

Types of stoves | Of course, this Choc range is also equipped with a magnetic base plate and suitable for induction stoves.

Cleaning & Care | The manufacturer declares the Choc Extreme items as dishwasher safe. We at Butch recommend that you wash this premium cookware gently by hand. In our experience, this will further extend its longevity. Because let's face it: cleaning a non-stick pan by hand takes a maximum of 60 seconds, including drying. The reward for this minimal effort is a maximum lifespan for your Choc Extreme treasures.*


(* We would like to remind you again at this point: Butch does not assume any product liability for cookware that we have declared as not dishwasher safe and has still been cleaned in the dishwasher.)

Temperature | Choc B Bois pans heat up quickly, are easy to control, and are suitable for high temperatures. However, due to the wooden handles, the Choc B Bois pans should only be placed in the oven briefly and at a maximum of 200 °C. Please do not heat pans with non-stick coating empty, as this could damage the surface layer.

Types of stoves | The magnetic base plate allows for use on induction stoves.

Cleaning & Care | The Choc B Bois range is NOT dishwasher safe due to its real wood handles.*

Choc Extreme

The Choc Extreme range is the premium class within the Choc collections from de Buyer. For us at Butch, cookware with a real WOW effect! The Choc Extreme series includes pans, sauté pans, pots, a saucepan, and a wok.

Material | Choc Extreme is made of 7 mm thick aluminum die-casting. This high material thickness guarantees absolute deformation resistance. The reinforced non-stick coating of this series is also based on PTFE and is extremely hard. With proper treatment, this means a very long service life. Even at the risk of repeating ourselves: You can strongly influence the longevity of high-quality non-stick pans yourself: Avoid sharp-edged turners, do not heat the pans empty, and clean them gently by hand!

Handle | With the handles of the Choc Extreme series, we differentiate between stick handles and handle handles:
The stick handles are firmly riveted to the body and are made of solid stainless steel casting. Since stainless steel casting is the worst heat conductor imaginable, this material is ideal for handles. Together with the handle construction, it prevents the stick handles from heating up.
Some items such as pots, sauté pans, and the wok are equipped with space-saving handle handles. Here, the body and handle are made of one piece - making them extremely stable and almost indestructible. However, the one-piece production means that these handles can become warm or hot. Therefore, please handle the handles with pot holders or gloves, especially when cooking for a longer period of time.
