De Buyer Other Equipment

The De Buyer Inocuivre round dish is a copper serving and cooking dish designed for professional kitchens where presentation at the table is as important as performance at the stove. At 20cm, this is a practical single-portion or small sharing dish that moves comfortably from oven or hob directly to the table, making it a useful piece in restaurant and bistro environments where oven-to-table service is part of the offer.

Copper conducts heat exceptionally well, and the Inocuivre construction reflects this. The dish heats quickly and distributes temperature evenly across the base and sides, which is particularly useful for dishes that need consistent heat during both cooking and tableside presentation. It retains warmth well once off the heat, helping food arrive at the table at the right temperature without the need for a separate warmer.

From an operational standpoint, the dish offers several practical advantages:

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hot spots during cooking
• Copper construction retains heat at the table, extending the service window
• Solid brass handles are secure to grip and add a considered visual finish
• Suitable for gas, electric, and solid-fuel hobs as well as oven use
• The visual quality of copper supports premium tableside presentation

It is worth noting that the Inocuivre range is not compatible with induction hobs, so this needs to be factored in if your kitchen runs induction-only cooking stations. Copper cookware also requires appropriate care to maintain its appearance over time — it will naturally develop a patina with use, which many operators consider part of its character, but it does require more attention than stainless steel if a polished finish is expected front-of-house.

This dish is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and bistros serving individual portions where copper cookware is part of the dining aesthetic. It is less suited to high-volume canteen or fast-casual operations where durability under continuous heavy use and minimal maintenance are the priority. For kitchens needing a larger format, the Inocuivre range includes other sizes worth considering.

If you are building a set for table service or are unsure whether this size is right for your menu, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your operation.

The De Buyer Inocuivre 16cm round dish is a small copper cooking and serving vessel from De Buyer's professional Inocuivre range. Constructed predominantly from copper, it is designed for use in both preparation and front-of-house presentation, moving directly from the oven or hob to the table without changing dishes.

Copper conducts heat more efficiently than most cookware materials, and in a kitchen context that translates to quick, even heat distribution across the base and sides of the dish. For dishes that require precise, gentle heat — gratins, eggs, small portions of sauce-based preparations — that consistency is a practical advantage over heavier, slower-responding materials. The brass handles remain cool enough to handle relatively quickly after leaving heat, which matters when service is moving quickly.

From an operational standpoint, the dish offers several practical points worth noting:

• Copper construction delivers rapid, even heat distribution across the cooking surface
• Solid brass handles provide a secure grip for oven-to-table service
• Compact 16cm format suits individual portion presentation
• Compatible with gas, electric, and solid fuel heat sources
• Durable enough for regular professional service use

One important consideration: the Inocuivre range is not compatible with induction hobs. If your kitchen runs on induction, this dish will not work on the hob, though it can still be used in a conventional oven. The copper surface will develop a natural patina over time, which is characteristic of the material and does not affect performance, though it does require appropriate care to maintain appearance.

This dish is well suited to smaller hospitality operations, private dining rooms, and restaurants where individual plating and tableside presentation form part of the dining experience. At 16cm it is a single-portion size — operations needing larger sharing dishes or higher-volume formats should consider other sizes within the Inocuivre range.

If you are building out a copper serviceware selection or are unsure whether this format fits your service style, our team is happy to talk through the options 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 Inocuivre 24cm stewpan is a copper cooking vessel from a range designed for professional kitchen use. It comes supplied with a fitted lid and features cast brass handles. The pan holds just over five litres, making it a practical size for sauces, braises, and wet preparations that need close temperature control during service.

Copper conducts heat more efficiently than most cookware materials, which means the pan responds quickly when you adjust the flame and distributes heat evenly across the base and walls. This matters in a professional context where precise temperature management affects the quality of the finished dish. The pan performs well on gas and electric hob sources, though it is not compatible with induction. The 90% copper construction gives it thermal characteristics that more common stainless or aluminium alternatives cannot easily replicate.

From an operational standpoint, the Inocuivre range sits at the more considered end of professional cookware. Key practical points include:

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hotspots and scorching
• Rapid response to temperature changes supports saucing and reduction work
• Brass handles remain cool enough to manage safely on a working range
• The fitted lid retains heat during resting or holding stages
• Suitable for oven-to-table presentation where appearance matters

Copper cookware requires a degree of maintenance that stainless alternatives do not. The exterior will develop a patina over time and benefits from periodic polishing if appearance is a priority. The interior lining should be checked periodically for wear, as this affects both performance and food safety.

This stewpan is well suited to brigade kitchens, private dining operations, and restaurant environments where quality of presentation and cooking precision are both priorities. For very high-volume sauce production across multiple services, a larger capacity vessel in the same range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size and material suits your kitchen's needs, we are happy to talk it through 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.

The De Buyer Inocuivre 16cm stewpan is a professional copper pan from De Buyer's established Inocuivre range. It comes supplied with a lid and is constructed predominantly from copper, with cast brass handles and an interior lining suited to cooking use. At 1.6 litres capacity, this is a relatively compact pan intended for sauces, reductions, and small-batch preparations rather than bulk cooking.

Copper's thermal conductivity is one of the main reasons it remains a preferred material in professional kitchens. Heat distributes rapidly and evenly across the base and sides, which is particularly valuable when working with temperature-sensitive preparations such as custards, chocolate, or delicate sauces where hotspots can cause separation or scorching. The pan responds quickly to changes in heat input, giving the cook a level of control that thicker, less conductive materials do not offer to the same degree.

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hotspots during precise sauce work
• Rapid thermal response allows quick heat adjustment during service
• Brass handles remain cooler than the pan body during stovetop use
• Supplied with a close-fitting lid to retain heat and moisture
• Suitable for gas, electric, and solid-top ranges; not induction-compatible

In practical terms, this pan is suited to finishing, holding, and presenting small quantities of sauces or accompaniments. The oven-to-table aesthetic of the Inocuivre range makes it a reasonable choice for kitchens where presentation in the pan forms part of the service style. It is not designed for high-volume production cooking and the 1.6 litre capacity reflects that.

One point worth noting before purchase: the pan is not induction-compatible. If your kitchen runs induction hobs, this range will not work on them. It performs well on gas and conventional electric ranges. The copper construction requires appropriate care — copper pans generally need more attentive cleaning and maintenance than stainless alternatives, and this should be factored into your kitchen's workflow.

This pan is best suited to professional kitchens, private dining operations, or chef-led restaurants where precise heat control and presentation quality are priorities. For larger batch requirements, heavier-capacity options within De Buyer's range may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a copper batterie or want to discuss which sizes and pieces are most practical for your kitchen's output, the team is happy to work through that with you 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 Mineral B Rounded Wok is a traditionally shaped carbon steel wok from De Buyer's well-regarded Mineral B range. Carbon steel has long been the preferred material for professional wok cookery — it heats quickly, responds immediately to changes in flame intensity, and builds a natural seasoned surface over time that improves with use. This is a working kitchen tool with no synthetic coatings, designed to be used hard and to last.

In a busy service environment, the rounded profile allows ingredients to be tossed and moved freely, which matters when you are working quickly over high heat. Carbon steel reaches cooking temperature faster than cast iron and handles the rapid temperature changes that come with continuous use across a service period. The seasoned surface that develops naturally means the pan becomes progressively more non-stick without relying on chemical coatings that can degrade under professional kitchen conditions.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Compatible with all heat sources including induction
• Natural seasoning builds with use — no synthetic coating to maintain or replace
• Lightweight relative to cast iron, reducing fatigue during extended service
• Responds quickly to heat adjustments, supporting precise cooking control
• Easy to clean and maintain with correct seasoning technique

At 28cm this is best suited to à la carte cooking and individual or small-batch portions rather than bulk production. It is a practical choice for a single chef station where speed, responsiveness, and pan longevity are priorities. Operations needing to cook larger volumes in a single pass may find a larger format more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service style or menu, the team is happy to talk through the options.

The De Buyer Mineral B round grill pan is a carbon steel ridged pan designed for high-heat searing of meats, fish, and vegetables. Made in France, it develops a natural seasoning layer over time that improves release and adds depth to cooked surfaces — a characteristic that sets carbon steel apart from coated alternatives in a professional context.

In a busy kitchen environment, carbon steel heats quickly and responds well to temperature adjustment, which suits fast-paced service where timing matters. The ridged base creates defined sear marks and lifts food away from direct contact, allowing fat to drain during cooking. At 2.31kg, the pan has a solid, well-balanced feel without being unwieldy on a busy pass.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Works across all heat sources, including induction, gas, and electric ranges
• No synthetic coating to maintain or replace — the pan improves with use
• Strong riveted handle provides a secure grip under pressure
• Oven safe for short finishing periods
• Straightforward to re-season if the surface is neglected or stripped

Carbon steel does require initial seasoning before first use and ongoing care to prevent surface rust — it is not suitable for acidic sauces or prolonged wet cooking, and should not go through a commercial dishwasher. Operators who need a low-maintenance non-stick surface may find a coated pan more practical for their setting.

This pan is well suited to chefs who cook over high heat regularly and are comfortable maintaining carbon steel. It is a practical choice for grill stations, brunch service, or any kitchen preparing seared proteins or charred vegetables as part of a regular menu. For kitchens requiring a larger cooking surface or heavier-duty construction for continuous all-day use, a larger format or cast iron alternative may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether carbon steel is the right choice for your kitchen setup, we are happy to talk through the options.

The De Buyer Mineral B 32cm wok is a traditional round-based carbon steel wok, part of De Buyer's established Mineral B range. Carbon steel has long been a preferred material in professional kitchens for wok cookery — it heats quickly, responds immediately to changes in temperature, and develops a natural seasoning over time that improves with use.

In a working kitchen, that responsiveness matters. Wok cookery depends on rapid heat transfer and the ability to move between high-heat searing and gentler finishing without lag. Carbon steel handles this well. The 3.7-litre capacity makes this a practical choice for à la carte cooking and batch preparation of stir-fried or tossed dishes, though it is proportioned for individual portions or small batches rather than large-volume production. The dual-handle design gives controlled, stable handling when moving a loaded pan between stations or heat sources.

Practical advantages for day-to-day kitchen use include:

• Compatible with all heat sources, including induction hobs
• Natural seasoning builds with use, improving non-stick performance over time
• Dual handles support confident handling when the pan is loaded
• Wide base provides stability across flat-top and ring burners
• Lightweight relative to cast iron, reducing fatigue during service

At 1.81kg, the pan is manageable for extended service periods. Carbon steel does require seasoning before first use and ongoing maintenance — it should be dried thoroughly after washing and lightly oiled if stored for any length of time. It is not suited to prolonged acidic cooking, which can strip the seasoning layer.

This wok is well suited to smaller operations, à la carte sections, and kitchens where wok cookery is a regular part of the menu. For sites needing a larger working volume or heavier-gauge construction for very high-frequency use, a larger or heavier-duty option may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size and specification fits your kitchen's workflow, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

The De Buyer Professional Tomato Slicer is a countertop prep tool designed to produce consistent, uniform tomato slices in a single action. Using a set of serrated blades, it cuts ten slices simultaneously at a fixed 5.5mm thickness — a practical solution for kitchens where speed and consistency through prep are both important.

In a busy service environment, inconsistent knife work on tomatoes causes real problems: uneven garnishes, excess juice loss, and slower prep throughput. This slicer addresses all three. The serrated blades are configured specifically for tomatoes, which means cleaner cuts with less crushing and noticeably less juice released compared with a standard straight blade. For operations turning out high volumes of salads, sandwiches, burgers, or pizza toppings, that consistency has a tangible effect on presentation and waste.

From a practical standpoint, the unit is built in stainless steel throughout, which keeps cleaning straightforward and holds up well to daily kitchen use. A few points worth noting before purchase:

• Suction feet fix the unit firmly to the work surface — important for safe single-handed operation
• Blades are replaceable when worn, avoiding the need to replace the whole unit
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports standard commercial cleaning routines
• Fixed 5.5mm slice thickness — not adjustable, so confirm this suits your intended use
• Weighing 5.5kg, it is stable on the counter without being awkward to move for cleaning

This slicer is well suited to sandwich bars, cafés, burger kitchens, salad operations, and any prep environment where tomato volume is high enough to justify a dedicated tool. It is a single-purpose piece of kit — it does one job and does it reliably, but it is not the right choice if variable slice thickness is a regular requirement. For very high-volume operations running continuous prep shifts, a heavier-duty motorised alternative may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this suits your prep workflow or want to talk through options for your kitchen, our team is happy to help you work it out 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.

This De Buyer copper bowl is made specifically for whipping egg whites by hand. The half-round form follows a long-established French patisserie tradition, and there are sound practical reasons it has remained unchanged: the shape encourages the whisk to move through the full volume of whites with minimal effort, and the curved base leaves no corners where unwhipped liquid can sit undisturbed.

Copper has a well-documented effect on egg whites. Contact with the metal produces a more stable foam that holds its structure longer and achieves a firmer, brighter result than whites beaten in stainless steel or glass. For kitchens where meringues, soufflés, mousses, or similar preparations are a regular part of the menu, this is a meaningful practical difference rather than a niche detail.

The cast iron ring handle is fixed and substantial. It gives a firm, confident grip during vigorous whipping and sits comfortably in the hand whether the bowl is held over a bain-marie or worked freestanding on a bench. The open rolled edge completes the bowl cleanly and removes any risk of a sharp rim during use or washing.

• Copper construction improves foam stability and stiffness in whipped egg whites
• Half-round profile ensures full whisk contact throughout the mixture
• Solid cast iron ring handle supports confident grip during dynamic whipping
• Open rolled edge is smooth, hygienic, and comfortable to handle
• Straightforward to wash and maintain with appropriate copper care

This bowl is well suited to pastry sections, fine dining kitchens, and any operation where hand-whipped whites are prepared regularly. It is a single-purpose piece of equipment, and that focus is the point — it does one job very well. If you are equipping a larger pastry section with high daily volumes, it is worth discussing whether additional bowls or complementary copper pieces from the De Buyer range would suit your workflow.

If you have questions about copper cookware care or which bowl size fits your preparation volumes, the team is happy to talk it through.

The De Buyer 200mm copper egg white bowl is a traditional hand-beating bowl designed specifically for whipping egg whites to stiff peaks. It is a specialist piece of smallware with a clear, single purpose — and it does that job particularly well.

Copper has a well-established effect on egg whites during beating. The trace reaction between copper ions and the egg white proteins produces a foam that is more stable, stiffer, and brighter than what is typically achieved in stainless steel or glass. For pastry sections producing meringues, soufflés, or mousses where egg white stability matters, this makes a practical difference to the finished result. The half-round bowl profile is not decorative — it is a functional shape that encourages the whisk to move through the full volume of white with each stroke, reducing the effort needed to achieve full incorporation.

• Copper construction supports faster, more stable egg white foam
• Half-round bowl shape encourages thorough, efficient whisking action
• Cast iron ring handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip during vigorous beating
• Open rolled edge is hygienic, comfortable to grip, and easy to clean
• Traditional construction with no complex parts or maintenance requirements

The cast iron ring handle is worth noting — it gives a solid, controlled grip during the dynamic motion of hand-whipping, which matters when working quickly during a busy service or prep period. The open rolled edge keeps the bowl comfortable to hold against the forearm when needed.

At 200mm this is a single-use or small-batch bowl, suited to a pastry section, a smaller kitchen, or as a secondary bowl where output volumes are modest. For higher-volume pastry operations producing large batches of meringue or similar, a larger bowl would be more appropriate. The bowl should be cleaned by hand — avoid harsh abrasives that would affect the copper surface over time.

If you are building out a pastry section and want to talk through what equipment would work best for your setup, the team is happy to help.

The De Buyer 400mm copper conical jam pan is a traditional piece of confectionery and preserving equipment, purpose-built for making jams, marmalades, and fruit preserves. Constructed from 1.7mm thick copper throughout, it follows the form that professional patissiers and preserving kitchens have relied on for generations — a wide, open conical shape that promotes rapid evaporation and allows easy working of the mixture.

Copper's thermal conductivity is the key practical advantage here. It responds quickly to changes in heat, gives you a fast initial heat-up, and distributes temperature evenly across the base and sides. In jam making, where precise heat control matters and hot spots can cause scorching or uneven setting, that consistency is worth a great deal. The uniform wall thickness reinforces this, helping to avoid the localised overheating that leads to burnt fruit and wasted batch.

The conical shape serves a specific purpose beyond tradition. The angled sides allow you to work a stirring utensil right into the base and around the full curve of the pan, so the mixture moves evenly without sitting in corners. The flat base sits stably on a gas burner, which is the natural pairing for copper cookware.

• Even heat distribution helps preserve the natural colour and flavour of fruit
• Wide open shape accelerates evaporation for faster setting
• Responsive to heat adjustments, giving precise control over the cooking process
• Stable flat base suits gas hob use in professional kitchen environments
• Compatible with all heat sources except induction

This pan is best suited to patisserie sections, artisan food producers, hotel kitchens, and specialist preserving operations. It is not designed for high-volume continuous production — for larger batch work, a bigger capacity pan would be the more practical choice. Being copper, it will require appropriate care and is not suitable for induction hobs.

If you are weighing up which size or specification suits your operation, our team are happy to help you think it through before you order.

The De Buyer 380mm copper conical jam pan is a traditional piece of confectionery and preserving equipment used in professional pastry kitchens and artisan food production environments. Made from 1.2mm copper throughout, it is designed for making jams, conserves, and confectionery where precise, even heat management directly affects the quality of the finished product.

Copper's conductivity is the reason it has been the material of choice for jam-making for generations. It heats quickly and evenly, and the consistent wall thickness across this pan means heat is distributed without the localised hot spots that can cause fruit to scorch or caramelise unevenly. In a production context, this translates to fewer spoiled batches and more consistent results across repeated runs. The conical profile also keeps the working volume accessible — the rounded skirt angle allows a paddle or spoon to reach the full base of the mixture without difficulty.

From an operational standpoint, the design offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Rapid, even heat-up reduces time from prep to a rolling boil
• Consistent copper thickness minimises the risk of hot spots and scorching
• Wide flat base sits stably on gas burners during active stirring
• Conical shape helps preserve natural fruit colour by limiting excessive caramelisation
• Smooth copper interior is straightforward to clean between batches

This pan is suitable for gas and electric hobs but is not compatible with induction. It is worth bearing in mind that copper cookware requires periodic care — copper surfaces will tarnish with use and benefit from occasional polishing to maintain both appearance and performance. At 9 litres, this pan is well suited to small-batch production, recipe development, and artisan preserving operations. Sites producing at higher volume may find a larger-capacity pan a more practical fit.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your output or want to discuss how copper pans fit into your production workflow, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.

150ml Recommended for use with De Buyer's range of copper cookware, the De Buyer copper cleaner is the perfect solution for bringing back the brilliance of your copper equipment. First clean your pan, then wet the sponge with hot water and dip into the cleaner. Rub the whole item with the sponge, then rinse and dry carefully - perfect results every time.

The De Buyer Kwik Max is a stainless steel piston funnel designed for accurate, repeatable portioning of sauces, creams, batters, liqueurs and similar pourable preparations. The piston mechanism delivers a controlled dose with each press, reducing waste and keeping the work surface clean during busy service. It comes supplied with two nozzles and a stand, so it can sit ready at the pass or on the prep bench without needing to be held in place.

In a working kitchen, consistency matters as much as speed. The piston action allows chefs and pastry teams to portion the same volume repeatedly without measuring by eye, which is particularly useful during high-output preparation runs — filling tart cases, portioning coulis, or charging dessert glasses to a consistent level. The all-stainless construction holds up well to daily use and handles both cold and warm preparations without issue.

• Delivers consistent, controlled portions with each press of the piston
• Two included nozzles allow flexibility across different preparation tasks
• Stand keeps the funnel upright and stable on the bench during service
• Smooth stainless steel surfaces clean down quickly between uses
• Suitable for sauces, creams, batters, liqueurs and similar pourable products

As a manual tool with no electrical or plumbing requirements, there are no installation considerations. The 3.3 litre capacity suits most pastry, larder and sauce preparation tasks at restaurant or café scale. For operations that need to fill very large volumes in a single session, a larger-capacity piston funnel may be worth considering.

This is a practical addition for pastry kitchens, dessert sections and any prep team that portions sauces or creams regularly. If you are unsure whether the capacity or nozzle configuration suits your workflow, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The De Buyer KWIK Pro is a stainless steel automatic piston funnel designed for controlled, repeatable portioning of liquids in a professional kitchen environment. The piston mechanism dispenses a measured dose with each press, making it well suited to sauces, creams, coulis, liqueurs, and similar semi-liquid preparations where consistent portion sizes matter.

In a busy service environment, speed and accuracy during plating or prep can have a real impact on both food cost and consistency. A piston funnel removes the guesswork from manual ladling or pouring, reducing spillage and helping kitchen teams maintain portion discipline when covers are high and time is short. The all-stainless construction handles regular use without deteriorating, and the smooth internal surfaces clean quickly between batches or at the end of service.

• Delivers a consistent measured dose with each press of the piston
• Reduces mess and spillage during plating and prep work
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is easy to sanitise
• Supplied with a stand, keeping the funnel stable and accessible on the pass
• Suitable for sauces, creams, coulis, liqueurs, and similar preparations

This is a handheld portioning tool rather than a production-volume dispenser, so it is best suited to kitchens requiring controlled single-portion dosing rather than high-speed bulk filling. The 1.9Ltr capacity works well for à la carte service, though operations with higher throughput or larger batch requirements may benefit from a higher-capacity model.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your service style or prep volumes, we are happy to talk it through.

The De Buyer Eastomoule is a professional silicone baking mat designed for confectionery and pastry work in commercial kitchens. It is particularly well suited to preparing caramels, fruit pastes, nougat, and similar products that require precise, even heat distribution and a clean, non-stick release. The smooth relief surface allows finished products to be removed without distortion, which matters when presentation is part of the final dish.

In a working pastry section, the mat performs reliably across a wide temperature range, handling both oven use and freezer storage without degrading. This makes it practical for workflows where a product needs to be set under refrigeration before finishing in the oven, or vice versa. The silicone construction resists the oils and sugars that typically degrade lesser mats over time, so it holds up well under repeated daily use.

Practical benefits for kitchen operators include:

• Non-stick surface reduces the need for greasing or lining, saving time on prep
• Compatible with both oven and freezer, supporting flexible production workflows
• Wipes clean easily, reducing turnaround time between batches
• Consistent surface contact promotes even caramelisation and heat transfer
• Durable silicone construction resists staining and odour absorption

No special installation is required. The mat sits flat on a standard baking tray or sheet pan and can be stored flat or rolled when not in use. It is worth noting this is a single-sided smooth mat rather than a moulded cavity tray, so it is best suited to flat or free-formed confectionery rather than shaped portioned items.

This mat is well suited to pastry kitchens, patisseries, hotel banqueting operations, and any site producing confectionery at volume. For operations requiring moulded or portioned shapes, De Buyer's range includes cavity mould alternatives that may be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this mat suits your specific production requirements, our team is happy to talk through the options.

600x400mm The 600x400mm De Buyer Special non-stick reusable baking sheets are made from PTFE coated glass fibre, providing perfect non-stick capability. Reducing the requirement for single use baking papers, these sheets can be used over 200 times, reducing wastage and disposable costs. Suitable for use from -76°C to +260°C, they can be used for a wide variety of applications. They are pre-cut to fit the mould saving time on measuring and cutting.

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 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.
