Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salt House, a popular seaside restaurant in Brighton, needed to replace their worn-out frying pans. Their old pans were losing their non-stick properties, causing service delays and inconsistent results, especially with delicate seafood dishes.
"We were wasting so much time trying to stop things from sticking, and presentation was suffering. The De Buyer Choc Extreme pans have been a revelation. They heat evenly, nothing sticks, and they are incredibly easy to clean between services. Our fish dishes have never looked better."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The upgrade resulted in a 15% reduction in cooking times for key dishes and virtually eliminated food wastage from sticking, improving kitchen efficiency during peak tourist season.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
- There is no need for traditional seasoning due to the high-quality non-stick surface.
- Securely attach the LOQY handle (if purchased) by aligning it and clicking it into place.
- Always ensure the pan is stable on your hob before adding ingredients.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the non-stick coating, always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils.
- Avoid using metal utensils or cutting food directly in the pan.
- Allow the pan to cool down before cleaning to prevent thermal shock, which can damage the surface.
- Hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick coating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use metal utensils with this pan?
A: We strongly advise against it. To protect the advanced non-stick surface and ensure its longevity, you should only use silicone, plastic, or wooden utensils.
Q: Is this frying pan dishwasher safe?
A: While many pans can survive a dishwasher, we always recommend hand washing with a soft cloth to preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating for as long as possible.
Q: What is the De Buyer LOQY handle?
A: It's a patented removable handle system sold separately. It allows you to use one handle for multiple pan bodies, making storage and cleaning much simpler.
Q: Is this pan oven safe?
A: The pan body itself is typically oven-safe to a certain temperature, but you must always remove the LOQY handle before placing it in an oven.
Q: How heavy is the pan to use during a busy service?
A: At just 1.09kg, it's designed to be lightweight and manageable, reducing arm strain for chefs during long, repetitive tasks.
Q: Will it work on a ceramic or gas hob?
A: Yes, this commercial non-stick frying pan 24cm is designed for universal use on all heat sources, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction.
Q: What makes this better than a standard domestic frying pan?
A: The De Buyer Choc Extreme professional pan is built with a thicker, more durable body and a commercial-grade non-stick coating designed to withstand intensive daily use in a professional kitchen.
Q: Does the base of the pan stay flat under high heat?
A: Yes, its forged construction is designed to resist warping, ensuring the base remains flat for perfect contact with the hob and even heat distribution.

Explore more from De BuyerWhy Induction Compatibility Is a Smarter Choice
You've seen 'induction compatible', but what does it really mean for your kitchen? Think of it like swapping a standard lightbulb for a super-efficient LED. An induction hob creates a magnetic field, and an induction-ready pan like this one interacts with it to generate heat directly in the base of the pan itself. This means no wasted energy heating the air around it. The result is lightning-fast heat-up times, incredibly precise temperature control, and lower energy bills. It's a safer, cleaner, and more efficient way to cook, making this pan a future-proof tool for any modern professional kitchen.
Who Should Buy This?
- Local Cafés: Ideal for whipping up perfect scrambled eggs, omelettes, and pancakes for the morning rush with zero sticking.
- Bistros & Restaurants: A versatile essential for searing fish fillets, creating pan sauces, and sautéing vegetables with precision.
- Hotel Kitchens: Its robust build and compact size make it a reliable choice for everything from room service orders to à la carte prep.
- Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: The removable handle system is brilliant for saving space in tight quarters, and it works on portable induction hobs.
