De Buyer

The De Buyer Inocuivre 10cm mini saucepan is a small copper pan built for precise, controlled cooking at the stove. Constructed predominantly from copper, it conducts heat rapidly and evenly across the base and sides, giving the cook a high degree of control over temperature — a quality that matters when reducing sauces, warming small portions, or finishing dishes to order.

In a kitchen environment, copper responds faster to heat adjustments than most other materials, which makes it well suited to tasks that require accuracy rather than brute output. The brass handle is a traditional complement to copper cookware and stays cooler than the pan body during normal stove use, though care should be taken during prolonged cooking sessions. At 330g, the pan is light enough to handle with one hand throughout service.

Practically, this size works well for:

• Individual sauce portions and reductions
• Warming small quantities of stock or cream
• Oven-to-table presentation where appearance matters
• Mise en place and pre-service prep

It is worth noting that the Inocuivre range is not suitable for induction hobs. It performs well on gas and conventional electric ranges. Copper cookware also requires a degree of care in cleaning — abrasive scourers should be avoided to preserve the finish, and the pan should be dried promptly after washing.

This pan is best suited to professional kitchens where individual plating, tableside service, or sauce work is part of the offering. It is not intended as a high-volume cooking vessel — for larger batch work, a bigger pan from the same range would be the more practical choice.

If you are putting together a set or want to discuss which sizes best fit your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help.

The De Buyer Chocinduction is a pressure cast aluminium frying pan with a non-stick coating, designed to work across all hob types including induction. At 320mm in diameter it sits at the larger end of the standard frying pan range, making it a practical choice for operations that need to move volume through a single pan — sautéing vegetables in batches, finishing sauces, or reheating proteins to order during service.

Pressure casting produces a more consistent wall thickness than stamped alternatives, which supports even heat distribution across the base and sides. During sustained service this reduces the likelihood of hot spots that cause uneven cooking or accelerate coating wear. The pan holds its temperature reasonably well between additions, and the non-stick surface makes it particularly well suited to eggs, fish, and delicate proteins that require careful management on bare metal.

Day-to-day operational advantages worth noting:

• Non-stick coating reduces the amount of cooking fat required per service
• Smooth interior simplifies cleaning between covers or at end of service
• Induction compatibility gives flexibility across different hob configurations
• Epoxy-coated stainless steel handle remains manageable during normal service conditions
• Cast construction is more resistant to warping than lighter pressed pans

There are limitations to be clear about. At 1.8kg this is a manageable weight, but chefs panning repeatedly through a long service will notice it at this diameter. The non-stick coating requires reasonable care — metal utensils and abrasive cleaning will shorten its working life, and high dry-heat is not appropriate for this coating type. For sites running very high cover counts where pans are cycled aggressively, a bare-metal option may prove more durable over time.

This pan is well suited to smaller restaurants, hotel kitchens, cafés, and similar operations where a reliable, versatile non-stick pan is needed for everyday service tasks. If you are equipping a larger brigade or have particularly demanding daily use in mind, we are happy to talk through what would suit your kitchen best.

The De Buyer Sweet Maker Coating System is a stainless steel rotating drum attachment designed to sugar-coat dried fruits, nuts, and similar confectionery items. It mounts onto a compatible stand mixer and uses the machine's drive to tumble the product continuously, allowing sugar syrups or coatings to build up evenly across each piece without manual stirring or specialist confectionery panning equipment.

In practice, the drum allows operators to produce batches of coated sweets and candies in a controlled, repeatable way. The tumbling action distributes coating evenly across the product surface, reducing waste and inconsistency compared to hand-coating methods. At 400mm in diameter and weighing 4.2kg, it is robust enough for regular production use without being unwieldy to handle between sessions.

Practical operational benefits include:

• Consistent coating coverage across each batch without manual intervention
• Batch output of up to 6–8kg in approximately 30 minutes, supporting small-scale production runs
• Stainless steel construction that is straightforward to clean down between batches
• A compact footprint that requires only the space of the host stand mixer
• Reusability across a wide range of confectionery products including nuts, dried fruits, and similar items

This attachment is compatible with a specific range of stand mixers, including KitchenAid K5 Super Plus, KitchenAid Artisan Pro, Dito Sama BE5 A, and Dito Sama 3500. It is not a universal fit — confirming compatibility with your existing machine before ordering is important. The stand mixer itself is sold separately.

The coating system is well suited to patisserie kitchens, chocolatiers, artisan confectioners, and hotel or restaurant operations producing house-made confectionery in moderate volumes. Operations with higher continuous production requirements may find a purpose-built panning machine a more practical solution at scale.

If you are unsure whether this attachment suits your existing equipment or production volumes, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The De Buyer Eastomoule is a flexible silicone baking mould designed specifically for producing mini financiers — the small, butter-rich French cakes common in patisserie and café service. The mould forms 15 individual portions in a single bake, with each cavity shaped to give the characteristic oblong financier form and a clean, defined edge on the finished product.

In a working pastry kitchen, silicone moulds like this one earn their place through consistency and speed of turnover. The non-stick surface releases cleanly without greasing in most applications, which reduces prep time and the risk of product sticking or tearing during demoulding. The material's flexibility also helps — a gentle flex is usually all that's needed to release a full tray of financiers without damage. For operations running multiple bake cycles through a service period, that reliability matters.

Practical advantages in day-to-day use include:

• Clean release without heavy greasing, supporting faster turnaround between batches
• Flexible silicone construction allows easy demoulding without product damage
• Safe for oven and freezer use, supporting make-ahead and chilled production workflows
• Lightweight at 100g — easy to handle, stack, and store
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

Being silicone, the mould does require a flat baking tray or perforated sheet beneath it when loaded, as it will flex under the weight of batter without rigid support. It is not suited to very high direct-heat applications and should be kept away from open flame or contact with sharp utensils that could compromise the surface over time.

This mould is well suited to patisserie operations, hotel breakfast and afternoon tea production, and café bakeries producing financiers or similar small-format baked goods at moderate volumes. For kitchens requiring higher throughput — larger cavities or greater batch sizes — it is worth considering alternative mould formats better matched to that output.

The De Buyer silicone baking mat is a practical workbench and oven tool for pastry sections, bakery operations, and prep kitchens where consistency and cleanliness matter. Made from food-grade silicone, it provides a reliable non-stick surface for rolling, shaping, and baking — reducing the need for excess flour or greaseproof paper during prep.

In busy pastry and patisserie environments, the printed ruler markings and circular guides make a genuine difference to workflow. Portioning dough, rolling to a consistent thickness, and cutting uniform rounds becomes a faster, more repeatable process — which helps maintain quality during high-output service periods without relying on individual judgement each time.

Practically, the mat offers a few useful characteristics worth noting:

• Non-stick silicone surface releases baked goods cleanly without additional greasing
• Printed ruler and circle guides support consistent portioning and shaping
• Rated for use from freezer temperatures through to oven temperatures, covering the full pastry workflow
• Dishwasher safe, which keeps cleaning straightforward at the end of service
• Flexible and easy to store flat or rolled when not in use

The mat is sized to sit comfortably on a standard gastronorm-compatible baking tray or prep surface. It is worth checking your existing tray dimensions before ordering, as a close fit avoids the mat lifting or shifting during use. The silicone construction means it will absorb some residual odours over time if used across very different product types, so some kitchens prefer to keep dedicated mats for sweet and savoury work.

This mat suits pastry sections, bakeries, and prep kitchens producing moderate to high volumes of consistent baked goods. It is a straightforward, reliable tool rather than a high-capacity production aid — operations requiring heavy continuous oven cycling across multiple trays may benefit from reviewing the broader range of baking surfaces available.

If you are building out a pastry section or reviewing your bakeware setup, the team is happy to help you think through what works best for your operation.

The De Buyer Mineral B is a black iron crêpe pan made from natural iron and finished with an organic beeswax-based coating. It is a traditional-style pan used across professional kitchens for crêpes, galettes, thin omelettes, and similar pan-cooked preparations where direct contact with a flat iron surface is part of the technique.

Iron cookware of this type performs well where consistent, even heat distribution and a responsive cooking surface matter. As the pan seasons with use, it develops a natural non-stick patina that improves over time — a property that synthetic coated pans cannot replicate once the coating wears. At 1.2kg, the 240mm size is practical to handle during continuous service without excessive fatigue.

From an operational perspective, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Builds a natural non-stick surface through repeated use and seasoning
• Compatible with gas, electric, and induction ranges
• No synthetic coating to degrade under high heat or heavy use
• Durable enough for daily professional service if properly maintained
• Simple to restore if neglected — re-seasoning is straightforward

The main practical consideration is maintenance. Iron pans require correct seasoning before first use and should not be cleaned with abrasive detergents or left wet, as they will rust. This is standard practice for any professional working with iron cookware, but it is worth noting for kitchens where equipment care is inconsistent. The pan is also unsuitable for acidic preparations over prolonged cooking, which can strip the seasoning.

The 240mm size is well suited to individual crêpe or pancake production — appropriate for à la carte service, dessert passes, or crêperie-style menus. Kitchens producing high volumes in continuous batches may want to consider larger diameter options within the Mineral B range.

If you are building out a crêpe station or want guidance on sizing and seasoning for your specific setup, our team are happy to help before you order.

This rectangular tart mould from De Buyer is a straightforward, well-made baking tool designed for professional pastry work. Constructed from non-stick steel, it produces a rectangular tart case with clean, defined edges — the kind of result that matters when presentation is part of the plate.

In a busy pastry section, consistency and speed of turnaround are what count. The non-stick steel construction promotes even heat distribution across the base and walls, which helps achieve a uniform bake and encourages the light caramelisation on the outer crust that gives a well-made tart its texture and colour. The removable base means you can release finished tarts cleanly without inverting the mould or risking damage to a delicate case — a practical advantage during a busy service prep.

From an operational standpoint, this mould offers a few useful characteristics for the working kitchen:

• Non-stick coating reduces the need for heavy greasing and speeds up cleaning between batches
• Removable base allows clean extraction without disturbing the tart structure
• Steel construction supports reliable heat transfer for consistent results across multiple bakes
• Straightforward shape suits both classic tart recipes and contemporary plated desserts

There are no special installation requirements — this is an oven-ready piece of bakeware. It is worth following De Buyer's care guidance for non-stick coatings: avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaning agents to preserve the coating over time. At 330g, it is a lightweight mould, well suited to kitchens producing tarts in moderate volumes rather than high-throughput bakery production, where heavier professional tart frames on perforated sheets may be more appropriate.

This mould is a practical choice for restaurant pastry sections, hotel kitchens, and catering operations producing plated desserts or buffet tarts in consistent rectangular portions. If you are working at higher volumes or need a more robust solution for continuous production, it is worth considering what else is available in the range.

If you are unsure which mould format best suits your menu or production volumes, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The De Buyer Elastomoule is a professional silicone baking mould designed specifically for mini madeleines, producing thirty individual pieces per bake. It is made from food-grade silicone and is intended for repeated use in commercial pastry and bakery environments.

The mould incorporates a micro-bubble surface texture, which promotes even heat distribution across each cavity. In practice, this helps achieve consistent browning and caramelisation without hot spots — a common frustration with cheaper silicone or pressed tin moulds. The flexible silicone construction allows baked goods to release cleanly with minimal handling, which is useful during busy service periods when speed and presentation both matter.

• Micro-bubble texture promotes even heat transfer across all thirty cavities
• Flexible silicone body allows clean, damage-free release of delicate baked goods
• Non-stick surface reduces the need for heavy greasing between batches
• Defined cavity edges produce consistent, neat madeleine shapes
• Suitable for oven use and straightforward to clean between runs

At 130g, the mould is lightweight and easy to handle. It sits flat on a standard baking tray for oven support, which is recommended when loading and unloading to avoid flexing the frame under weight. It is not designed for deep-fat fryers or direct hob use.

This mould is well suited to patisseries, hotel kitchens, and restaurant pastry sections producing petit fours or afternoon tea items in moderate volumes. For operations running continuous high-volume batches, it is worth considering a more rigid frame mould or multiple units to maintain throughput without overworking a single piece.

If you are unsure whether this fits your output requirements or oven setup, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The De Buyer Inocuivre 9cm mini saucepan is a small copper pan designed for precision sauce work and individual portion cookery. Built to De Buyer's Inocuivre specification, it combines a high copper content construction with a solid brass handle, giving it the heat response and the appearance expected in a professional kitchen setting.

Copper is the material of choice for sauce work because of the way it responds to heat — quickly and evenly across the entire base and sides. At this size, that responsiveness is particularly useful when working with small quantities of sauce, butter, or reduction where temperature control is critical and the margin for error is small. The pan heats rapidly and, equally importantly, cools quickly when moved off the heat, giving the cook genuine control over the cooking process.

In practical terms, this pan suits table-side service, mise en place presentation, and individual portion finishing. It is well suited to fine dining kitchens where cookware is visible to the guest, as well as professional kitchens where copper is the preferred material for sauce preparation.

• High copper content supports responsive, even heat distribution
• Solid brass handle stays cool longer and adds durability
• Compact 9cm diameter suits individual portions and small-batch sauces
• Suitable for direct flame, electric, and solid-top ranges — not induction
• Appropriate for oven-to-table presentation in dining environments

It is worth noting that this pan is not suitable for induction hobs, so kitchen operators using induction ranges should check compatibility before purchasing. At 0.3 litre capacity, this is a specialist piece rather than a general-purpose pan.

If you are building a copper batterie de cuisine or want to discuss which sizes suit your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The De Buyer Inocuivre 20cm sauté pan is a copper cookware piece from De Buyer's professional Inocuivre range. Built primarily from copper with a tin-lined interior and fitted with a solid brass handle, it is a traditional French-style pan designed for precise, controlled cooking on professional ranges. At 1.8 litres capacity, it sits in a practical mid-size position — large enough for single portions or small batch saucing, compact enough for close work on a busy pass.

Copper conducts heat faster and more evenly than most cookware materials, which gives chefs direct, responsive control over temperature. This makes it particularly well suited to tasks where precision matters — reducing sauces, cooking eggs, glazing vegetables, or finishing proteins. Unlike heavier stainless steel pans, the heat response is almost immediate, which reduces the risk of overcooking during a busy service when attention is split across multiple sections.

• Copper construction delivers rapid, even heat distribution across the base and walls
• Responsive temperature control supports precise sauce work and delicate cookery
• Brass handle stays relatively cool on the stovetop and provides a secure grip
• Tin-lined interior is non-reactive and suitable for acidic ingredients
• Compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic hobs — not suitable for induction

It is worth noting that tin-lined copper pans require a degree of care that stainless-lined alternatives do not. Tin is a softer material and can be damaged by metal utensils, very high dry heat, or abrasive cleaning. For kitchens running at sustained high volume with less controlled handling, this is a consideration worth weighing. The pan carries a 940g weight, which is manageable for most chefs but heavier than similarly sized aluminium or tri-ply options. Induction hobs are not compatible.

This pan is best suited to brigade kitchens where copper cookware is already part of the operation, or to smaller establishments — private dining rooms, chef's table settings, or specialist restaurants — where quality of finish and precision of cooking are priorities. It also works well for oven-to-table presentation where the appearance of the cookware matters. For high-volume operations requiring a pan that can withstand sustained heavy use without specialist care, a stainless-lined or heavier-gauge alternative would be a more practical fit.

If you are building out a copper cookware set or unsure whether this size suits your menu requirements, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The De Buyer Outdoor blue steel round pan is a 32cm carbon steel pan designed for high-heat cooking across all heat sources, including gas burners, induction hobs, and open flame. Blue steel — a form of carbon steel that has been heat-tempered during manufacture — is a traditional material long favoured in professional kitchens for its ability to handle intense, direct heat and develop a natural non-stick patina with use.

In practice, carbon steel pans like this one are well suited to tasks that demand quick, responsive heat: searing proteins, browning vegetables, and frying at high temperatures. Unlike cast iron, carbon steel heats rapidly and responds quickly to changes in flame or ring setting, which gives the cook more immediate control during service. The 2mm gauge provides a reasonable balance between weight and heat retention without the bulk of a heavier pan.

Key practical characteristics worth noting:

• Develops a natural seasoned surface over time, improving release and flavour
• Handles high-heat searing and browning without warping under normal use
• Compatible with all hob types including induction
• Hanging hole on the handle allows straightforward storage without stacking
• Lightweight relative to cast iron, reducing fatigue during extended service

Carbon steel does require some care. The pan must be seasoned before first use and dried promptly after washing to prevent surface rust — this is standard practice with any carbon steel cookware. It is not suited to acidic cooking over prolonged periods, as this can strip the seasoning. For operators unfamiliar with carbon steel maintenance, this is worth factoring into your decision.

This pan is a practical choice for small professional kitchens, supper clubs, food trucks, outdoor catering operations, or chefs who want a reliable carbon steel option for high-heat work. If you need larger diameters or heavier gauges for continuous heavy-volume service, there are more substantial options in the range worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this pan fits your cooking style or service demands, our team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The De Buyer black iron crêpe pan is a straightforward, well-made pan designed specifically for producing crêpes and thin pancakes in a professional kitchen environment. At 200mm in diameter, it is the standard size for individual portion crêpes and sits comfortably on both gas and solid-top ranges.

Black iron heats quickly and evenly across the base, which is exactly what crêpe work demands. Consistent, even heat distribution means the batter spreads uniformly and cooks without hot spots — a common cause of tearing or uneven colour. The pan's weight, at 600g, gives it enough thermal mass to maintain steady cooking temperature between pours without being cumbersome to handle during a busy service.

Like all uncoated iron cookware, this pan improves with use. Once properly seasoned through repeated cooking and light oiling, it develops a natural non-stick surface that performs reliably without the limitations of a coated finish. Key practical advantages include:

• Even heat distribution reduces tearing and uneven colour on the crêpe surface
• Natural seasoning improves release performance over time with correct care
• No synthetic coating means no risk of flaking under high heat
• Compatible with all hob types including induction
• Simple to maintain — wipe clean, dry thoroughly, lightly oil after use

This pan is suited to kitchens producing crêpes as a menu item rather than at high continuous volume. It works well in café kitchens, hotel breakfast operations, and catering environments where crêpes are made to order. For sites producing crêpes in larger quantities or over extended service periods, a heavier or larger pan may be more practical.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your service style or hob setup, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The De Buyer Kobra is a professional-grade mandoline slicer designed for consistent, accurate slicing in commercial kitchen prep environments. Built around a stainless steel V-blade, it is suited to repetitive vegetable and fruit preparation tasks where uniformity of cut matters — salads, garnishes, gratins, and similar prep work that benefits from reliable thickness control.

In a working kitchen, the Kobra handles the kind of sustained prep volume that would quickly blunt or frustrate a lower-quality slicer. The V-blade configuration pulls ingredients through cleanly rather than dragging, which reduces tearing and produces neater slices with less effort from the operator. The silicone-grip handle gives reasonable control during use, and the stainless steel construction on the blade keeps hygiene maintenance straightforward.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages centre on consistency and speed during prep service:

• V-blade geometry produces clean, even slices with minimal tearing
• Stainless steel blade holds an edge well under regular use
• Silicone handle provides a secure, comfortable grip during extended prep
• Compact footprint works well in tighter prep stations
• Straightforward to clean down between tasks

As with any mandoline, safe handling practice and the use of a cut-resistant glove are essential — this is a sharp tool and warrants appropriate care in a busy kitchen. It is worth noting that the Kobra is a hand-held mandoline rather than a bench-mounted slicer, so it is best suited to kitchens with moderate slicing volumes rather than continuous high-throughput production lines. For operations processing very large quantities, a countertop or motorised slicing unit would be a more practical choice.

The Kobra suits smaller restaurants, café kitchens, and prep cooks who need a reliable, well-made mandoline for daily prep work without the footprint or cost of a full bench slicer.

If you are unsure whether this tool fits the prep volumes and workflow in your kitchen, we are happy to talk it through.

The De Buyer automatic piston funnel is a benchtop portioning tool designed for professional pastry, sauce, and prep work. Each press of the piston dispenses a measured quantity of liquid or semi-liquid product — sauces, cream, batters, dressings — reducing the variability that comes with ladling or pouring by hand. The 1.5 litre capacity makes it well suited to batch-fill working at individual stations rather than continuous high-volume dispensing.

In a working kitchen, this type of funnel earns its place at pastry stations, sauce prep areas, and plating lines where portion consistency affects both food cost and presentation. The piston action allows one-handed operation, which is a practical advantage when plating at pace or managing multiple components at once. Stainless steel construction holds up to repeated daily use and handles the temperature ranges typical of sauce and cream work without issue.

Practical advantages in day-to-day use include:

• Consistent portion output helps control waste and keeps food costs predictable
• One-handed operation supports cleaner, faster plating during service
• Non-slip stand keeps the unit stable on the bench between uses
• Two nozzles supplied, allowing different flow rates or product types to be accommodated
• Dishwasher-safe construction simplifies end-of-service cleaning

There are no installation requirements — no water, gas, or electrical connection needed. At 720g it is light enough to move between stations as required, and the compact footprint suits most prep benches without taking up significant space.

This funnel is well suited to smaller operations, dedicated pastry sections, and kitchens where sauce or cream portioning is a regular part of service. For sites with significantly higher throughput, or where multiple stations require simultaneous access, a larger-capacity unit would be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this capacity fits your service style, the team is glad to help.

The De Buyer 200mm square ring is a stainless steel forming ring designed for professional pastry and bakery work. At 20mm in height, it sits in the standard range for plated desserts and individual portion work, providing a clean, defined square profile that holds its shape reliably during setting, chilling, and assembly.

In a working pastry section, these rings earn their keep through consistency. Whether you are building layered entremet, setting individual cheesecakes, or assembling pressed terrines, the square format produces sharp, uniform results that hold up well through service. The stainless steel construction tolerates repeated refrigeration cycles and light oven use without warping, which matters when rings are in and out of the cold room throughout a busy service.

Practically, this size sits comfortably in the individual portion bracket — large enough for a substantial plated dessert, compact enough to line up efficiently on a full sheet tray. It also functions as a portion cutter for soft sponges, set creams, or similar preparations where clean, even cuts are needed at speed.

• Produces clean square edges for plated desserts and modern pastry presentation
• Consistent sizing supports uniform portioning across a full batch
• Stainless steel tolerates refrigeration, blast chilling, and light oven temperatures
• Stackable profile allows efficient storage in a busy pastry section
• Doubles as a portion guide for cutting soft or set preparations

This ring is well suited to pastry sections producing individual desserts or small-batch patisserie. Kitchens with higher volume requirements or larger portion formats may find it useful to hold several rings in rotation, or to consider larger sizes within the De Buyer range.

If you are building out a pastry section and want to talk through quantities or size combinations that suit your menu, we are happy to help.

The De Buyer Mineral B round grill pan is a French-made carbon steel pan designed specifically for high-heat searing and grilling on the hob. The ridged base creates direct contact marks on meat, fish, and vegetables, producing results closer to a chargrill or griddle than a conventional frying pan. It is part of De Buyer's Mineral B range, which is well regarded in professional kitchens for its robust construction and the cooking performance that builds over time as the pan seasons with use.

Carbon steel responds quickly to changes in heat, which makes it well suited to fast-paced kitchen environments where a cook needs control rather than inertia. The pan gets up to temperature quickly and holds it well during searing, helping to achieve consistent colour and caramelisation without stewing the food. With regular use and proper seasoning, the surface develops a natural non-stick quality that improves cooking performance and makes cleaning more straightforward.

Practically speaking, the pan works across all heat sources, including induction, which makes it a flexible addition to most kitchen setups. The riveted handle provides a secure grip during service. A few things worth bearing in mind:

• Carbon steel requires seasoning before first use and ongoing care to prevent rust
• It should not be left to soak or cleaned in a dishwasher
• The pan is oven safe for short periods — useful for finishing dishes
• Carbon steel reacts with acidic ingredients, so it is not well suited to prolonged contact with wine, vinegar, or citrus

This size works well in smaller professional kitchens, staff restaurants, and cafés where grill marks and high-heat searing are needed without the footprint of a full griddle plate. For kitchens with heavier continuous throughput, a larger or purpose-built cast iron option may be a more practical fit.

If you are unsure whether this pan suits your menu and service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The De Buyer conical colander is a straightforward, well-made drainage tool designed for everyday use in professional kitchens. Constructed from stainless steel throughout, it features the classic conical form that allows water to drain efficiently while retaining food securely. The raised base keeps drained food clear of the liquid below, which is a practical hygiene consideration during a busy service.

In a working kitchen environment, colanders of this type are used constantly — rinsing vegetables, draining pasta, straining stocks, and refreshing blanched greens under cold water. The stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated use, high-temperature contact, and commercial dishwasher cycles without deteriorating. The open rolled edge along the rim avoids the trapped food residue that can build up in folded or closed edges, making end-of-service cleaning straightforward.

• Raised base keeps drained food separated from run-off liquid
• Hygienic open rolled rim edge — easy to clean thoroughly
• Integral hook allows quick, tidy storage on a pot rack or rail
• Comfortable handle supports confident, secure one-handed use

At 28cm, this colander sits in a useful mid-range size — practical for single portions through to small batch work, but kitchens handling continuous high-volume pasta or vegetable passes may find a larger colander better suited to their throughput. It works well as part of a set alongside a smaller colander for more delicate tasks.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing existing smallwares and would like guidance on which sizes and quantities suit your service style, the team is happy to help.

This set of six star nozzles from De Buyer is produced in Tritan, a robust single-piece material that avoids the joints and seams where residue can accumulate in traditional metal nozzles. The smooth internal cone profile allows cream, buttercream, choux, and similar preparations to flow cleanly and consistently, giving a defined star finish without drag or distortion.

In a busy pastry section, consistency matters. Because each nozzle is formed from a single piece of Tritan rather than assembled from multiple components, the shape holds true across repeated use and does not deform under normal working pressure. The set includes six star tip sizes — B8, C6, C8, D8, E6, and E8 — covering the range of outputs most pastry teams work with day to day, from close-set rosettes to open decorative stars.

The nozzles are compatible with standard piping bags as well as the De Buyer Le Tube system, which suits operations that prefer a more controlled, hygienic approach to portion dispensing. Cleaning is straightforward: the nozzles and silicone holder are both dishwasher safe, and the holder keeps the nozzles contained during the wash cycle rather than loose in a basket where small pieces can be displaced or lost.

• Single-piece Tritan construction — no joins, no residue traps
• Dishwasher safe, including the silicone storage holder
• Six sizes covering common star tip applications
• Compatible with standard bags and the De Buyer Le Tube system
• Holds shape under repeated use without deforming

This set suits patisseries, hotel banqueting kitchens, and any operation where decorative piping is part of regular production. If your team's output demands a broader range of tip profiles — including plain, petal, or specialist shapes — it is worth discussing what additional sets or individual nozzles would complete your setup. The team is happy to talk through what works best for your specific production requirements.

The De Buyer Choc Resto is a professional-grade non-stick frying pan built for the demands of a working kitchen. Constructed from thick aluminium with a forged induction-compatible base, it delivers consistent, even heat distribution across the cooking surface — reducing hot spots and giving cooks reliable control over delicate proteins, eggs, and sauced dishes.

The five-layer PTFE non-stick coating is notably more resilient than the coatings found on lighter domestic or entry-level catering pans. In kitchen practice, this translates to a surface that holds up better against regular use, resists abrasion from utensils, and remains easier to clean after service. The riveted steel handle is oven-safe for short finishing passes, which is useful when a dish needs to go under a salamander or into a low oven briefly.

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of scorching during busy service
• Multi-layer PTFE coating resists daily abrasion and cleaning chemicals better than standard coatings
• Induction-compatible base works across gas, electric, and induction ranges
• Riveted handle construction holds firm under repeated daily use
• Oven-safe for short finishing passes without switching pans

At 20cm, this is a single-portion pan. It suits kitchens where individual portions are cooked to order — omelettes, pan-fried fish fillets, smaller sauté work — rather than batch cooking. It is well suited to à la carte service, hotel breakfast stations, or smaller operations where a compact, reliable non-stick pan is needed on rotation. Kitchens running high cover counts may want to consider a larger diameter or a heavier-duty pan designed for greater throughput.

If you are unsure whether this size and coating specification suit your service style or hob setup, the team are happy to talk it through.

The De Buyer Inocuivre oval dish is a 90% copper cooking and serving vessel with solid brass handles. It is designed for professional kitchens where both cooking performance and front-of-house presentation matter. The oval form suits fish, roasted joints, gratins, and similar dishes that benefit from an elegant serve-at-table format.

Copper conducts heat more efficiently than most other pan materials, which means this dish heats quickly and distributes temperature evenly across its base and sides. That evenness is particularly useful for dishes that need gentle, consistent heat rather than aggressive direct flame. Recovery after adding cold ingredients is notably fast. The brass handles remain cooler than the pan body during use, though appropriate cloths should always be used when moving the dish from a hot oven or burner.

In practical kitchen terms, this dish works well across a range of applications:

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hot spots and uneven cooking
• Oven-to-table format removes the need to plate into a separate serving dish
• Copper construction supports rapid temperature response when adjusting heat
• Brass handles add a considered, professional finish for table service
• Suitable for gas, electric, and solid-top ranges — not compatible with induction

This dish is not induction compatible, which is worth confirming against your kitchen's hob setup before ordering. Copper cookware requires appropriate care — acidic ingredients held for extended periods can react with unlined copper, so this dish is best suited to cooking and immediate service rather than prolonged storage of prepared food. At 1.2kg it is a manageable weight for service use.

The Inocuivre range is well suited to restaurants, private dining operations, and hotel kitchens where presentation is part of the service offer. It is equally practical in smaller professional kitchens that want reliable copper performance without committing to a full range. If your volume requirements or service style call for something different in size or format, the broader De Buyer copper range includes further options worth considering.

If you are building out a copper cookware selection or are unsure which pieces best fit your menu and service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The De Buyer Inocuivre 12cm round dish is a small copper serving and cooking vessel from De Buyer's professional copperware range. Constructed primarily from copper with a tin lining and fitted with solid brass handles, it is designed for use both in the oven and at the table — making it a practical choice where presentation is part of the service.

Copper conducts heat considerably faster and more evenly than stainless steel or cast iron, which makes this dish well suited to preparations that benefit from precise, responsive temperature control. At this compact size, it heats through quickly and holds that heat well enough to carry food from the kitchen pass to the table without significant temperature loss — useful for individual portions of egg dishes, gratins, sautéed garnishes, or small sauce preparations.

The practical advantages of this dish in a working kitchen include:

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hot spots during cooking
• Copper construction allows rapid response to heat adjustments
• Brass handles remain cool enough to handle with a cloth during short oven use
• The oven-to-table format removes the need for a separate serving dish
• The 340g weight keeps the dish manageable for front-of-house service

One consideration worth noting: copper cookware of this type is not suitable for induction hobs. It performs well on gas and conventional electric ranges, and in ovens. The tin lining also requires some care — abrasive cleaning materials should be avoided to preserve the interior surface over time.

This dish is best suited to restaurants, private dining operations, and hotel kitchens where individual portion presentation carries weight. At 12cm it serves a single portion; operators with higher-volume or larger-portion requirements may find a bigger size within the Inocuivre range more appropriate for their needs.

If you are building out a copperware selection or are unsure which sizes would work best across your menu, we are happy to help you work through the options before you order.

The De Buyer iron grill with handles is a rectangular carbon steel grill plate designed for direct-heat cooking on professional ranges and solid tops. It sits across one or two burners, creating a ridged grilling surface that marks and chars food without the need for added fats. Made in France from 2.5–3mm carbon steel, it is a straightforward, hardworking piece of cookware built to the standards expected of commercial kitchens.

In a busy kitchen environment, carbon steel cookware earns its place through durability and heat response. The material heats quickly, retains warmth well during service, and develops a natural seasoning over time that improves with use. At just under 2.5kg, the pan is substantial enough to hold temperature when cold proteins are placed on it, which matters during a busy grill service. The handles allow safe repositioning on the range without the need for a cloth or separate tool.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Compatible with all heat sources, including induction hobs
• Ridged surface channels excess fats away from food during cooking
• Natural seasoning builds with use, reducing food adhesion over time
• Handles allow repositioning safely during service without additional tools
• No non-stick coating to degrade or replace over time

Carbon steel cookware does require ongoing seasoning and care — it is not suitable for prolonged exposure to moisture or dishwasher cleaning. New pans should be seasoned before first use following De Buyer's guidance, and dried thoroughly after washing. This is standard practice for iron and carbon steel cookware and is not a limitation unique to this product.

This grill plate is well suited to small to medium professional kitchens, café operations, and brigade-style kitchens where quality grilled presentation matters. It is a practical choice for fish, shellfish, vegetables and lighter cuts of meat. For operations running high-volume grill output across extended services, a heavier or larger format grill plate may better match the throughput required.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your range setup or service style, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

The De Buyer Inocuivre oval dish is a traditional copper cooking and serving piece, constructed predominantly from copper with a tin-lined interior and fitted brass handles. At 32cm in length it sits at a practical mid-size for professional kitchen use — large enough for individual portions or shared side dishes, compact enough to manage comfortably during service.

Copper's thermal properties are well understood in professional kitchens: it conducts heat quickly and evenly, which helps avoid hot spots and gives the cook a more responsive cooking experience. The tin lining makes the interior safe for food contact and straightforward to maintain, while the brass handles stay cool enough to handle briefly and add a degree of visual refinement suited to front-of-house service. This dish moves naturally from hob or oven to the table without looking out of place.

From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are:

• Rapid, even heat distribution that reduces the risk of uneven cooking
• Oven-to-table format that saves plating time during service
• Brass handles that contribute to a composed, professional table presentation
• Copper construction that responds quickly to heat adjustments

It is worth noting that copper cookware requires a degree of care that stainless steel does not. The tin lining will wear over time with heavy use and will eventually need re-tinning — this is normal for copper pieces and not a defect. This dish is not suitable for induction hobs. It works across gas, electric, and solid-top ranges, and is oven safe.

This dish is best suited to kitchens where presentation matters as much as performance — French-style restaurants, brasseries, private dining operations, and establishments that serve food directly in the cooking vessel. It is a considered choice rather than a high-volume workhorse; operations needing heavy daily use across many covers may want to weigh that against the care requirements of copper.

If you have questions about how copper cookware fits into your kitchen's workflow, or whether this size is right for your service style, we're happy to talk it through.

The De Buyer Le Tube is a reusable, piston-driven pressure syringe designed to replace single-use disposable piping bags in professional kitchens. Rather than relying on manual pressure applied through a bag, the Le Tube uses a controlled dosing mechanism to dispense preparations consistently — making it particularly useful where portion control and presentation consistency matter. The Pro Set includes the syringe unit itself along with four 750ml canisters and twelve nozzles covering a range of plain, star, garnishing, and specialist profiles.

In practice, the Le Tube earns its place in pastry sections and banqueting operations where a large number of identical portions need to be produced reliably under time pressure. The adjustable dosing system helps teams maintain uniform output across a full service, reducing the variability that comes with freehand piping. The canisters can be filled in advance and held ready to use, which suits both à la carte pastry kitchens and high-volume conference or contract catering environments where mise en place is prepared well ahead of service.

The practical advantages over conventional piping bags are worth considering:

• Adjustable dose setting reduces portion variation and food wastage
• Canisters can be swapped mid-service without discarding unused mixture
• Suitable for both hot and cold preparations
• Canisters are dishwasher safe, simplifying end-of-service cleaning
• Reusable construction reduces ongoing consumable spend on disposable bags

There are no installation requirements — the Le Tube is a handheld tool requiring no power or plumbing. It is worth bearing in mind that at 750ml per canister, the system is best suited to preparations with a consistency that flows freely through a nozzle under piston pressure. Very stiff doughs or heavily textured mixtures may not be suitable. The included nozzle range covers most common pastry and garnishing applications, though kitchens with highly specific decorative requirements should check nozzle compatibility with their existing work before committing to the set.

This set is well suited to pastry sections in restaurants, hotel banqueting kitchens, and contract catering operations where speed, consistency, and reduced waste are priorities. For teams that only occasionally pipe, a single-canister option may be sufficient — the Pro Set makes most sense where multiple preparations are being piped simultaneously or back-to-back across a full service.

If you are unsure whether the Le Tube is the right fit for your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to talk through how it performs in practice before you order.

The De Buyer Inocuivre 20cm round stewpan is a professional copper cooking vessel from one of France's most established cookware manufacturers. Built primarily from copper with a tin-lined interior, it is designed for precise, controlled cooking on gas and electric hobs, and is equally at home in the oven. The brass handles and traditional construction reflect a style of pan that has been used in professional kitchens for generations.

Copper's thermal properties are well understood by professional cooks: it responds quickly to changes in heat and distributes temperature evenly across the base and sides. For tasks where precision matters — reducing sauces, cooking egg-based preparations, or holding delicate proteins at a controlled temperature — that responsiveness makes a practical difference. The 3.5-litre capacity positions this as a working pan for small-batch preparation or individual service rather than bulk production.

In practical terms, the Inocuivre stewpan offers:

• Even heat distribution that reduces the risk of hot spots and scorching
• Quick thermal response suited to delicate, temperature-sensitive preparations
• A tight-fitting lid that supports gentle braising and simmering
• Brass handles that stay cooler than the pan body and give a secure grip
• A finish suitable for oven-to-table presentation in formal dining settings

It is worth noting that copper cookware of this type requires some care. The tin lining can be damaged by overheating when the pan is empty, and copper exteriors will develop a patina over time that some kitchens will want to polish back periodically. Copper pans are also not suitable for induction hobs. If your kitchen runs entirely on induction, this range would not be compatible.

This stewpan is well suited to fine dining kitchens, hotel restaurants, and brigade environments where copper cookware is already in use or where precise sauce work is central to the menu. For kitchens needing larger capacities for the same style of preparation, the Inocuivre range includes larger pan sizes worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this pan is the right fit for your kitchen's heat sources or service style, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

This is a flat, perforated aluminium baking tray from De Buyer, sized to the standard 1/1 GN footprint. The perforations run across the base of the tray, allowing hot air to circulate directly around the underside of whatever is being baked. It has no raised lip, which means baked goods can be slid off rather than lifted — a practical consideration when handling fragile or freshly baked items.

In a working pastry section or bakery environment, even base heat is one of the more persistent challenges, particularly in fan-assisted deck or convection ovens where air movement can be uneven. The perforated base addresses this directly, promoting more consistent colour and texture across the full tray rather than concentrating heat at the edges. For operations producing bread rolls, pastries, biscuits, or similar items in volume, the consistency this supports is worthwhile.

The aluminium construction keeps the tray lightweight relative to its size, which matters when trays are being loaded and unloaded repeatedly during service. The flat lipless profile also makes cleaning straightforward — there are no corners or edges to trap residue.

• Perforated base promotes even airflow and consistent bake results
• Lipless design allows food to slide off cleanly without lifting
• Lightweight aluminium suits repeated handling during busy service
• 1/1 GN footprint fits standard commercial oven configurations
• Simple flat profile makes cleaning quick between batches

This tray is well suited to patisserie, bakery, and catering operations running fan-assisted ovens where even baking results matter. It is a straightforward, dependable piece of bakeware rather than a high-output specialist tool, and sits comfortably in both high-volume and smaller operations alike.

If you are equipping a new pastry section or want to check compatibility with your existing oven shelving, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you make sure you are ordering the right fit.

The De Buyer Inocuivre round dish is a copper cooking and serving vessel designed for professional use. Constructed predominantly from copper with a tin lining, it is built for both direct heat cooking and table presentation, making it a practical choice where the dish travels from oven or hob to the dining room without a transfer.

Copper's thermal properties are well established in professional kitchens — it responds quickly to heat changes and distributes temperature evenly across the cooking surface, which matters when precision and consistency are important. The brass handles are robust and stay cooler than the pan body during service, giving a confident, secure grip when moving between kitchen and table.

In practical terms, this dish offers a number of advantages for kitchen operators:

• Even heat distribution reduces hot spots and supports consistent cooking results
• Copper construction allows rapid response to temperature adjustments
• Suitable for oven and hob use — works across gas, electric, and solid-top ranges
• The oven-to-table format removes the need for a separate serving dish, saving time during service
• Brass handles offer a clean, professional appearance suited to front-of-house presentation

One practical consideration worth noting: copper cookware of this type is not suitable for induction hobs. It also requires appropriate care — copper and tin-lined vessels benefit from hand washing and should not be scoured with abrasive materials. At 1.23kg, the dish is a manageable weight for general kitchen use.

This dish is well suited to restaurant and hospitality operations where individual portion cooking and table presentation are part of the service style — particularly in French classical, bistro, or brasserie kitchens where copper cookware is a natural fit. For kitchens needing larger surface areas or higher-volume output, larger formats within the Inocuivre range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your menu or service format, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The De Buyer Choc Resto is a professional non-stick frying pan built for regular commercial kitchen use. Constructed from heavy-gauge aluminium with a forged induction-compatible base, it is designed to distribute heat evenly and consistently across the cooking surface — reducing hot spots and giving cooks reliable control over delicate proteins, eggs, and pan sauces.

The five-layer PTFE non-stick coating is applied to a thickness that gives it meaningful resistance to the abrasion and thermal stress that come with daily professional use. In practice, this matters: cheaper non-stick pans in busy kitchens tend to degrade quickly under repeated high-heat cooking and metal utensil contact. The Choc Resto is a more considered choice for operations that go through pans regularly and want something that holds up over a longer service life.

Key practical points for kitchen teams:

• Compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs
• Riveted steel handle allows short oven use where finishing dishes requires it
• Five-layer PTFE coating offers good abrasion resistance under regular service
• Even heat distribution supports consistent results across the full pan surface
• Heavyweight aluminium construction reduces warping over time

This is a 28cm pan, which suits single-portion work and small-batch cooking comfortably. It is well suited to à la carte kitchens, hotel breakfast operations, and prep environments where non-stick performance and heat control are priorities. For high-volume operations cycling through large quantities of product simultaneously, a larger pan or additional units may be worth considering.

If you are building out a pan kit for a new kitchen or replacing ageing non-stick stock, it is worth talking through your hob types and service volumes before committing — we are happy to help you work out the right specification.

The De Buyer Tritan Star Nozzle E6 is a 13mm piping nozzle constructed from a single piece of Tritan — a robust, food-safe plastic material commonly used in professional pastry and bakery environments. The one-piece construction means there are no seams or joints where residue can accumulate, which makes it a practical choice where hygiene standards need to be consistently maintained.

In a working pastry section or bakery, piping consistency matters. The smooth internal cone of this nozzle helps to deliver clean, accurate shapes with less drag or distortion during use, which reduces the likelihood of wasted product from poorly formed portions. The E6 star profile is well suited to rosettes, shell borders, eclairs, and decorative work where a defined, repeatable pattern is required.

Practical advantages for a production or service kitchen include:

• Single-piece Tritan construction — no joints to harbour residue or bacteria
• Compatible with standard piping bags as well as the De Buyer Le Tube system
• Dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• Lightweight at 10g, reducing hand fatigue during extended use
• Smooth cone profile supports piping accuracy and reduces waste

Being dishwasher safe is a straightforward practical advantage in a busy kitchen — the nozzle can go straight into the wash cycle without any special handling, and the Tritan material is resistant to the temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwashers.

This nozzle is well suited to patisseries, hotel banqueting kitchens, bakeries, and catering operations where consistent decorative piping is part of regular production. It is an individual nozzle rather than a kit, so it is worth considering whether additional sizes or profiles would suit your production requirements before ordering.

If you are building out a piping nozzle set or are unsure which profiles best suit your menu, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This De Buyer pizza peel is a straightforward, well-made tool designed for loading and retrieving pizzas in commercial deck and stone-base ovens. The stainless steel blade is 310mm wide, and the total length of 1280mm gives operators meaningful distance from the oven mouth during busy service.

In a working kitchen, a peel that flexes, bends, or proves awkward to angle costs time and, at worst, causes dropped product mid-service. The stainless steel construction here keeps the blade rigid and flat, which matters when sliding a dressed pizza cleanly onto a hot stone. The extended handle length is practical for deeper or taller deck ovens where a shorter peel would bring hands uncomfortably close to the heat.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Stainless steel blade stays flat and is straightforward to wipe clean between uses
• Long handle reduces heat exposure for the operator during repeated loading
• 310mm blade width suits standard individual pizzas without being unwieldy in a tight pass
• At 1.18kg, the peel is light enough for continuous use without fatigue
• Stainless construction resists the flour and moisture of a busy pizza station

This peel is best suited to operators running pizza as part of a regular menu — restaurants, pizza-focused sites, or catering operations using commercial deck ovens. It is a single-size tool, so kitchens producing very large pizzas or working with unusually deep ovens may want to confirm the blade width and overall reach are appropriate before ordering.

If you are setting up a pizza station and want to talk through what tools work best alongside your oven setup, we are happy to help.
