Hello. Is the model you sell the latest version — I think it's called Evolution — or is it the Classique? Thank you

The De Buyer Affinity stainless steel frying pan we sell is the manufacturer's current version: we're supplied directly by De Buyer and the previous version is no longer made. In De Buyer's current official catalogue they don't use the names 'Evolution' or 'Classique', so we can't confirm the name for you, but you will receive the current model in the Affinity range. If you need any specific detail about the frying pan (dimensions, materials, induction suitability), just ask and we'll confirm it for you. Kind regards.

Hello, I'd like to know whether the De Buyer universal stainless steel lid for frying pans, stockpots and paella pans that's compatible with this frying pan is on sale or can be ordered. Thanks and kind regards.

The De Buyer universal stainless steel lid isn't currently in our web catalogue, but we can order it: we work with De Buyer regularly and receive their goods on a regular basis. Contact us through the contact details you'll find at the bottom of our website, telling us the diameter of your Affinity frying pan, and we'll confirm availability, price and lead time. Kind regards.

I'd like to know which stainless steel lid is compatible with this frying pan. In another reply you gave the product code, but I can't find it on the website. Thanks.

It's the Affinity lid. We bring it in to order. You can send us an email or a WhatsApp to order it; you'll find our contact details at the bottom of the page.

I'm interested in buying the Affinity stainless steel frying pans in all four sizes (20, 24, 28 and 32 cm), but I see you say the 24 and 32 cm are currently out of stock. Do you know whether you'll have all the sizes available soon? What timeframe do you expect for having the complete range of sizes? Thanks.

They're already on their way and will reach us in 4 or 5 days. We're selling on pre-order and they send us only a few, so we recommend you place your order now.

Is the 24 cm De Buyer Affinity frying pan the Classic or the Evolution model? Thanks

There's only one model, the new one. There are no units left of the previous one and, according to the manufacturer, no more will be made. Best wishes.

What's the recommended size for a De Buyer stainless steel frying pan for 4 people? The 28 or the 32 cm one?

Well, there's no single right answer, as it depends on the dish you're going to make; even so, it's always better to have spare cooking surface than not to fit in everything you need.

Is the model you sell the new one that you can fit the Alchimy lid on and that has rounded edges?

No. For the new frying pan model, the compatible lids are the steel lids with reference 3709.

Hi, the photos of the frying pan are of the new De Buyer Affinity model, which has curved edges. However, the dimensions have changed slightly and I see that in the description the dimensions are still those of the old model. Can you confirm which model you're selling?

We've had no news that any of the measurements we give in the product description have changed; nevertheless, we'll check with the factory and update the measurements, weights and thicknesses if necessary. We can also confirm that all the Affinity frying pans we have are already the new model.

Hi, I bought the De Buyer Affinity frying pan from a well-known online shop, C&J, but they sent me a different one. Do I have any guarantee that you'll send me the correct one, no tricks?

We work directly with the manufacturer De Buyer and we send the genuine ones; you can verify this by contacting the manufacturer directly.

Hi, I'd like to know whether the frying pan is multi-ply, and whether it's suitable for ceramic and induction hobs

Yes, the secret of these frying pans is that they are multi-ply and made with excellent-quality materials, so they work on a gas flame, on ceramic and other electric hobs, as well as on induction hobs.

Hi, I'd like to know whether the measurement of the De Buyer Affinity frying pans refers to the base or to the internal diameter at the top of the pan. Thanks

The diameter at the top. That said, with cookware in general, measurements aren't given to the millimetre and are approximate.

Could you please tell me what base the Buyer Affinity frying pan with a 28 cm diameter has?

It has an approximate base diameter of 20 cm.

Good afternoon. - Do you ship to Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico? - Could you give me a WhatsApp number?

We deliver worldwide; you'll find the contact WhatsApp at the bottom of the page.

Hi. I've been recommended to buy the De Buyer Iffiinity frying pan for its quality. I bought another one from a different brand in stainless steel and it went yellowish because of the steel quality — if I buy this frying pan, what possibility of return do I have if something similar happens to me? Best wishes.

All products with manufacturing faults are replaced. That said, from what you describe, it's normal for the pan to take on a caramel tone if the oil is burnt. This is even sought after by some users to increase the non-stick effect.

High-quality Affinity 18/10 stainless steel frying pan by de Buyer

Description

The Affinity frying pan by De Buyer, the well-known French brand, is made from 18/10 stainless steel with an aluminium core, a combination with excellent thermal properties: heat is distributed evenly across the whole base and the temperature rises quickly, shortening cooking. Its Lyonnaise sloped edge lets food slide easily onto the plate. It's ideal for browning, grilling, sautéing or flambéing.

18/10 stainless steel with an aluminium core

The 18/10 stainless steel exterior provides strength and a polished, elegant finish, while the aluminium core conducts the heat without hot spots. The base is sturdy and won't warp, so the pan keeps its shape with intensive use. Both materials are high quality and free from toxic substances.

A usage tip: with stainless steel it's best to raise the temperature gradually; that way you make the most of its properties and food sticks less.

A firm handle that stays cool

The handle, also stainless steel, is secured with very solid rivets. It's smooth, durable and comfortable to handle, and designed to stay at a low temperature even when the pan is very hot.

Compatible with all hobs

The Affinity frying pan can be used on all types of hob, including induction. Its modern, elegant design fits any kitchen, domestic or professional.

How to get the most from it

Cooking with stainless steel takes some technique, and mastering it makes all the difference. Heat the empty pan over medium heat for a couple of minutes before adding the oil: to tell if it's ready, drop in a few drops of water; if they form beads that dance across the surface, it's just right. Then add the oil and, a few seconds later, the food. With this simple step, even a fried egg comes away easily.

Another advantage of stainless steel is the fond: those caramelised juices left stuck to the pan after browning meat or vegetables. Deglaze with a little water, wine or stock and you'll have the base for a sauce full of flavour, something non-stick pans can't offer.

To clean it, let it cool down before putting it under the tap. If there are stuck-on bits, hot soapy water and a few minutes of soaking are enough; for white limescale marks or the iridescent tints left by heat, a splash of vinegar removes them instantly.

What to cook in it

This is the pan for everything that calls for real heat: a sirloin steak with a golden crust outside and juicy inside, a griddled fish with crispy skin, sautéed vegetables that keep their bite or some flambéed prawns. As it has no non-stick coating, it happily takes a metal spatula, the restaurant salamander grill or the most demanding daily use: it's one of those pans that last for decades and improve with use.

Which diameter to choose

20 cm: ideal for individual portions or small preparations.
24 cm: the most versatile option, perfect for everyday use.
28 cm: ideal for cooking for two or three people.
32 cm: designed for families or larger quantities.

Lo pido un jueves y me llega al día siguiente antes de la hora de la comida, tuve una duda, escribí por correo y me llamaron aclarando todo. Respecto al producto, una sartén de alta calidad en construcción y empleada en las mejores cocinas. He comprado la de 24cm, pero sin pensarlo ya he pedido la de 32cm. Excelente producto y la atención de HIPERCHEF me quedé sorprendido.
