De Buyer Chocinduction Non-Stick Cast Aluminium Frying Pan 240mm

The De Buyer Chocinduction is a pressure cast aluminium frying pan with a non-stick interior coating, designed to work across all hob types including induction. At 240mm in diameter, it sits in the mid-range of the Chocinduction line and is a practical choice for kitchens that need a reliable, lightweight pan for everyday simmering, reheating, and light sautéing work.

Pressure cast aluminium gives the pan a more consistent wall thickness than drawn aluminium, which helps with even heat distribution and reduces the likelihood of hot spots during service. The non-stick coating performs well for lower-temperature tasks — reheating sauces, warming garnishes, cooking delicate proteins — where food release and ease of cleaning are the priority. The epoxy-coated stainless steel handle is securely fixed and remains cool enough to handle during normal stovetop use.

In operational terms, this pan works well as part of a brigade's standard smallwares inventory rather than as a primary high-heat workhorse. It is well suited to:

• Reheating and holding sauces or garnishes during service
• Light egg and protein cookery where non-stick release is important
• Induction hob stations where quick, responsive heat is needed
• Kitchens looking for a lightweight option that is easy for all staff to handle

It is worth being straightforward about where this pan fits: non-stick cast aluminium is not the right choice for high-heat searing, oven finishing, or sustained heavy-volume frying. For those applications, carbon steel or stainless steel alternatives within the De Buyer range would be better suited. This pan is designed for controlled, moderate-heat cooking tasks where the non-stick surface adds genuine practical value.

At 240mm it is appropriate for single-portion work or small batch reheating. Kitchens with higher throughput demands may find a larger diameter within the same range more suitable for their service volumes.
