Why this frying pan earns its place
This is the workhorse frying pan for kitchens that need to shift volume. At 320mm diameter and 2.5-litre capacity, it's the right size for restaurant brunches, catering operations, and busy hotel prep kitchens—large enough to sear multiple steaks or shallow-fry a batch of schnitzels without crowding, small enough to handle comfortably over high heat.
De Buyer's pressure-cast aluminium core gives you even heat distribution without hot spots—crucial when you're moving fast. The high-quality non-stick coating means less oil waste and easier plating, while the epoxy-coated stainless steel handle stays cool and grips securely even during service rush. Because this is a commercial pan, the coating is designed for durability rather than ultra-slickness; it'll serve you for years.
It's induction-ready, so it works on whatever cooktop you're running. The 1.8kg weight is substantial enough to feel solid in your hand but light enough that you're not fighting it during a 200-cover service. Hand wash only—the non-stick benefits from a gentler approach.
