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.

£69.81(£83.77 inc VAT)
The De Buyer Ceranoa is a professional sauté pan built around a recycled aluminium construction with a ceramic sol-gel coating. Unlike traditional non-stick coatings, the ceramic surface is entirely PFAS-free, making it a practical choice for kitchens where there is an increasing focus on removing fluorinated compounds from cookware. The 24cm diameter suits a broad range of sauting, pan-sauce, and finishing tasks common to both à la carte and volume service environments.
In daily professional use, the aluminium base delivers responsive, even heat distribution, which helps reduce hot spots and supports consistent cooking results across the pan surface. The pan is compatible with all heat sources, including induction, which gives it straightforward flexibility across different hob setups without requiring dedicated cookware for different stations.
From an operational standpoint, the Ceranoa offers several practical advantages worth noting:
- PFAS-free ceramic coating for a cleaner, lower-risk cooking surface
- Even heat spread reduces the risk of food catching or burning during service
- Induction compatibility across all standard hob types
- Oven-safe steel strip handle for hob-to-oven transfers without changing pans
- Smooth ceramic surface cleans down quickly between covers
The steel strip handle is a considered design detail for professional kitchens — it allows the pan to move from hob to oven without the heat limitations of a plastic or composite handle. That said, strip handles do transfer heat during prolonged hob use, so a cloth or handle guard should be kept close to hand during service.
This pan is well suited to smaller operations, chef's tables, private dining kitchens, and any site looking to move away from PFAS-based non-stick cookware without compromising on cooking performance. For kitchens running very high pan turnover or particularly abrasive cooking methods, it is worth discussing expected usage patterns with us before ordering — ceramic coatings, while durable, have different care requirements to bare metal or stainless surfaces.
If you are reviewing your cookware across multiple sizes or stations, we are happy to talk through what would work best for your setup.
£69.81(£83.77 inc VAT)
The De Buyer Ceranoa is a ceramic-coated crêpe pan built for professional kitchens that need reliable, consistent results across repeated service cycles. Constructed from recycled aluminium, the pan distributes heat evenly across its surface — an important quality when working with crêpe batter, where uneven temperature creates inconsistent browning and thin spots that waste product and slow service.
The PFAS-free ceramic sol-gel coating provides a smooth, low-resistance cooking surface that allows delicate crêpes to release cleanly without the need for excessive butter or oil. This makes a practical difference during busy service when speed and consistency matter more than technique adjustments. The coating also simplifies post-service cleaning, which is a genuine time saving in a professional setting.
Practically speaking, the pan works across all heat sources — gas burners, electric, and induction — which means it integrates without issue into most existing kitchen setups. The steel strip handle is oven-safe, giving operators flexibility for finishing or holding applications beyond stovetop use.
- Even heat distribution reduces inconsistent browning across the cooking surface
- PFAS-free ceramic coating supports clean release with minimal added fat
- Compatible with gas, electric, and induction heat sources
- Oven-safe steel strip handle extends cooking versatility
- Recycled aluminium construction keeps the pan lightweight for extended use
This pan is well suited to crêperies, hotel breakfast operations, event catering, and any kitchen with crêpes as a regular menu item. For very high-volume sites producing crêpes at scale throughout the day, it is worth considering whether a dedicated crêpe griddle or a heavier-gauge option would better match the throughput requirement.
If you are unsure whether this pan is the right fit for your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
£85.85(£103.02 inc VAT)
The De Buyer Ceranoa is a 28cm frying pan built from recycled aluminium and finished with a PFAS-free ceramic sol-gel coating. It is a straightforward, non-toxic cooking surface designed to release food cleanly and clean down quickly — two priorities that matter in any working kitchen. It is compatible with all heat sources, including induction, and the steel strip handle means it can move directly from hob to oven without a change of pan.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the ceramic coating performs well for eggs, fish, delicate proteins and lighter sauté work where sticking and tearing are the main concern. It is not a heavy-duty sear pan — operators expecting the same resilience as cast iron or carbon steel under sustained high heat should weigh that accordingly. Ceramic coatings, by their nature, benefit from moderate heat and careful utensil selection, and this one is no different.
Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:
- PFAS-free coating — no per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the cooking environment
- Compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs
- Oven-safe steel strip handle — reduces pan changes mid-service
- Easy-release surface speeds cleaning between covers
- Manufactured in Europe to consistent quality standards
The Ceranoa is well suited to smaller operations, café kitchens, and as a secondary pan in larger brigades handling lighter cooking tasks. For high-volume operations or kitchens where pans take sustained punishment, a heavier-gauge or different coating type may be more appropriate for the long term.
If you are unsure whether this pan fits the demands of your kitchen, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£53.43(£64.12 inc VAT)
The De Buyer Ceranoa is a 24cm frying pan built from recycled aluminium and finished with a PFAS-free ceramic sol-gel coating. It is designed to offer reliable food release without the use of fluorinated compounds, which is a consideration for kitchens with an eye on both food safety standards and sustainable procurement.
In a working kitchen environment, the ceramic coating performs well for eggs, fish, and other proteins that benefit from a non-stick surface, particularly during morning or brunch service where throughput is steady. It handles all heat sources including induction, and the steel strip handle allows the pan to transfer directly from hob to oven — a practical advantage when finishing dishes or holding plates during a push.
Key practical points worth noting:
- PFAS-free ceramic coating — no fluorinated compounds in the cooking surface
- Compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs
- Steel strip handle rated for oven use
- Recycled aluminium construction — lighter than cast iron alternatives
- Manufactured in Europe to consistent quality standards
As with all ceramic-coated pans, longevity depends on how the pan is handled day to day. High-heat searing, metal utensils, and abrasive cleaning will wear the coating faster than on uncoated steel or cast iron alternatives. For kitchens running continuous high-heat service, a carbon steel or cast iron pan may be a more durable long-term choice. The Ceranoa is well suited to lighter-duty use — chef's prep, egg cookery, delicate proteins — rather than heavy searing sections.
If you are equipping a section and want to match the right pan type to your service style, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
£48.22(£57.86 inc VAT)
This De Buyer deep round pan is made from blue carbon steel — a material long favoured in professional kitchens for its responsiveness to heat and its ability to develop a natural non-stick patina over time. The blue finish is a protective oxide layer applied during manufacturing, which helps the steel resist rust until seasoning is established through regular use. At 24cm, the pan sits in a useful mid-range size: large enough for saucing, sautéing, and reducing in volume, without being unwieldy on a busy range.
Carbon steel heats quickly and transfers that heat evenly across the base and up the sides, which suits techniques that require precise temperature control — searing proteins, finishing sauces, or cooking down aromatics. Unlike cast iron, carbon steel is light enough to handle comfortably during service, and it responds faster when you need to adjust the heat. With consistent use and correct seasoning, the cooking surface improves rather than deteriorates.
In practical terms, a pan like this earns its place in a kitchen through versatility and longevity rather than novelty. It works across all heat sources — gas, electric, induction, and open flame — which makes it a reliable fit regardless of how a kitchen is set up. A few points worth noting:
- Carbon steel requires seasoning before first use and ongoing care to prevent rust
- Hand washing only — dishwashers will strip the seasoning and risk surface corrosion
- Avoid prolonged contact with acidic ingredients until the seasoning is well established
- Store dry, and apply a light coat of oil if the pan will not be used for an extended period
This pan is well suited to professional kitchens where durable, multi-purpose cookware is used daily. It performs reliably in restaurant, bistro, and event catering environments. For kitchens needing higher-capacity pans or different profiles — such as wider sauté pans or larger frying surfaces — there are alternative sizes and styles in the range worth considering.
If you are building out a cookware set or unsure which sizes best match your menu and service volume, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£12.54(£15.05 inc VAT)
The De Buyer black iron blinis pan is a small, single-portion pan designed primarily for making blinis, small pancakes, and similar items where a consistent, shallow cooking surface is needed. Made from black iron (blue steel), it is a traditional material long used in professional kitchens for its ability to develop a natural non-stick seasoning over time and its straightforward response to direct heat.
Black iron pans perform well on gas and solid-top ranges. They heat quickly, hold heat evenly across a small surface, and stand up reliably to the repetitive use that comes with banqueting prep, breakfast service, or à la carte garnish work. With regular seasoning and correct storage, the pan will outlast most coated alternatives by a considerable margin.
From a practical standpoint, the key advantages are simplicity and durability:
- Develops a natural non-stick surface with use and seasoning
- Compatible with all direct heat sources including gas and induction-ready iron
- No coating to chip, flake, or degrade under high heat
- Easy to clean and maintain without specialist products
- Long service life with basic care
These pans are not suitable for dishwasher use, and they will rust if left wet or stored without a light oil coating. That is a routine consideration with any black iron cookware, not a drawback unique to this pan.
The 12cm diameter makes this well suited to individual-portion work. Kitchens producing blinis at scale, or looking for a larger surface for similar tasks, may find a bigger pan or a different pan shape more practical for their output.
If you are building out a section of smallwares and want to make sure you are choosing the right sizes and materials for your menu, we are happy to help you think it through.
£98.40(£118.08 inc VAT)
The De Buyer Choc Extreme sauté pan is a pressure-cast aluminium pan finished with a robust non-stick coating. The gently bowled profile makes it practical across a broad range of cooking tasks — from sautéing vegetables and proteins to reducing sauces — and the non-stick surface allows food to release cleanly without the need for excessive oil or butter.
In a working kitchen environment, the Choc Extreme range is valued for consistency and ease of use across repeated services. The non-stick coating is applied to a solid pressure-cast base, which distributes heat evenly and helps avoid hotspots that can catch delicate ingredients. It performs reliably on gas, electric, and induction hobs, making it straightforward to move between different kitchen setups.
Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:
- Clean food release reduces prep and plating time during busy service
- Even heat distribution supports consistent cooking results
- Non-stick surface simplifies cleaning between covers
- Detachable LOQY handle keeps storage compact in tight larder or pass areas
- Ambidextrous handle attachment suits both left- and right-handed cooks
The LOQY handle system is worth noting practically — the handle is sold separately and locks into position with an audible click, attaching to either side of the pan. This makes the pan straightforward to store flat or stack, which is a genuine advantage in kitchens where space is limited. It is worth confirming handle compatibility before ordering if you are adding this pan to an existing LOQY setup.
This pan is well suited to à la carte and small-batch cooking in restaurants, cafés, and hotel kitchens where a dependable, easy-clean sauté pan is needed for daily service. For high-volume operations where pans are in near-constant use across multiple services, a heavier-gauge or more robust pan specification may be worth considering.
If you are building out a set or have questions about handle compatibility and induction suitability for your particular setup, the team is happy to help you get the right configuration.
£82.88(£99.46 inc VAT)
The De Buyer Choc Extreme sauté pan is a pressure-cast aluminium pan finished with a multi-layer non-stick coating. The shallow, bowled profile is practical for a broad range of cooking tasks — sautéing vegetables, reducing sauces, finishing proteins — where you need food to release cleanly without excessive oil or butter.
In a busy kitchen environment, the pressure-cast construction provides even heat distribution and a more consistent cooking surface than standard pressed aluminium pans. The non-stick coating holds up well under regular professional use, though as with any coated surface, it benefits from the use of non-metallic utensils and careful handling during cleaning to preserve its service life.
The LOQY handle system is one of the more practical features for kitchens where storage space is limited. The cast stainless-steel handle attaches to either side of the pan, clicks securely into place, and can be removed just as quickly when the pan needs to go into a rack or onto a shelf. This also makes it straightforward to transfer from hob to oven without a fixed handle getting in the way.
- Releases food cleanly, reducing prep time and oil usage
- Ambidextrous handle attachment suits both left- and right-handed cooks
- Removable handle simplifies storage in tight prep areas
- Even heat spread supports consistent cooking results across the base
- Bowled shape suits sautéing, reducing, and light pan-frying tasks
This size works well as part of a matched set across a larder or sauce section. For sites needing larger capacities or pans designed for sustained high-heat use, heavier-duty options in the range may be worth considering.
If you are equipping a new section or want to confirm this fits your particular setup, the team is happy to talk it through.
£69.46(£83.35 inc VAT)
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.
£8.68(£10.42 inc VAT)
13(H) x 42(W) x 250(D)mm Whether used to brush melted butter, to apply a glaze or decorate sweet treats, the silicone brush from De Buyer is exactly what you need. The bristles of this brush are made of silicone that are ultra-soft so it doesn't damage your food, whilst ensuring an even spread. This silicone material also makes the brush quick and easy to clean. And thanks to its high heat resistance, the De Buyer brush can be used on hot food without burning.
£69.46(£83.35 inc VAT)
The De Buyer Le Tube is a reusable pressure syringe designed to replace single-use pastry bags in professional kitchen environments. It works by applying controlled pressure through a piston mechanism, dispensing mixture through interchangeable nozzles in measured doses. The adjustable dosing system allows operators to set a fixed output per squeeze, which helps maintain portion consistency across a full service run.
In practice, Le Tube suits kitchens where repetitive piping tasks need to be done quickly and cleanly — conference and banqueting operations, contract catering, pastry sections, and high-output dessert service are all common environments for this type of tool. Because mixtures can be prepared in advance and loaded into the canister ready to go, it supports a prep-ahead workflow that reduces pressure during peak service. Nozzles can be swapped mid-use without emptying the canister, which reduces wastage when switching between tasks.
From an operational standpoint, the main advantages over traditional piping bags are:
- Consistent, measured output per portion — useful for uniform plating
- Compatible with both hot and cold preparations
- Canister is dishwasher safe, reducing cleaning time between uses
- Reusable construction reduces single-use plastic consumption in the kitchen
- Advance preparation and storage reduces service-time pressure
The Le Tube is a hand-held tool requiring no power, gas, or plumbing. There are no installation requirements. It is worth noting that at 750ml capacity, this is best suited to individual workstations or smaller batch tasks — for high-volume continuous output across multiple stations, teams may find they need several units running in rotation.
This product is well suited to pastry chefs, banqueting teams, and catering operations where portion accuracy and speed of piping matter. It is a practical everyday tool rather than a high-throughput production solution. If your volume demands something more robust, it is worth exploring larger-format alternatives in the range.
If you are unsure whether this format and capacity fits your kitchen's workflow, we are happy to talk it through.

£335.00(£402.00 inc VAT)
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.
£319.00(£382.80 inc VAT)
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.
£231.00(£277.20 inc VAT)
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.
