World-class French cookware

Every de Buyer product is designed to deliver precise heat distribution, durability and outstanding performance in professional kitchens. The range includes everything from baking and cooking essentials such as classic iron pans and non-stick frying pans to aluminium, copper and stainless-steel cookware – all developed in close collaboration with professional chefs to meet the highest standards.

From a small forge to a global standard for chefs

The de Buyer story began in 1830 in Val d’Ajol, in the heart of the Vosges mountains, France. Founded as a small forge producing cutlery and kitchenware from locally sourced metals, the company has refined and passed down its craftsmanship through generations. Today, every de Buyer product continues to be proudly made in France.

In 2015, de Buyer was awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label – a French mark of excellence given to companies with exceptional craftsmanship and expertise. This recognition reflects their dedication to sustainable production and their philosophy of creating products built to last a lifetime.

Materials, function and care

De Buyer products are made from a wide variety of materials, allowing you to choose what best suits your cooking style.

• Iron and carbon steel: Ideal for searing and caramelising – develops a natural patina over time that enhances performance.
• Copper: Ensures precise temperature control and fast heat conduction, perfect for sauces and reductions.
• Stainless steel: Offers versatility, hygiene and durability, ideal for everyday cooking.
• Coated aluminium: Excellent for gentle cooking and simmering – with premium non-stick coatings.
  
  

To maintain their performance, we recommend handwashing with mild soap and avoiding abrasives. Copper should be polished with copper paste, while iron pans should be seasoned with oil to preserve their natural non-stick surface.

From frying pans to baking moulds – tools for every task

Whether you’re frying, baking or reducing, de Buyer offers a tool designed for the job. Their non-stick pans are perfect for eggs, fish and vegetables, while silicone or metal baking moulds ensure perfect results every time. Their mandolines and slicers make food preparation fast and precise, while copper pots and steel pans provide superior control during cooking.

Every detail – from ergonomic handles to heat-conducting layers – is carefully designed to offer the best possible cooking experience and long-lasting performance.
