Lyonnaise Heavy Steel Frying Pan, 28cm

A French Lyonnaise style 28cm frying pan of the type often used in professional kitchens — perfect for sealing, browning and grilling at high temperatures, on all heat sources, including induction. Properly seasoned and prepared, these pans will out-perform any non-stick or stainless pan, and will last more than a lifetime. During seasoning, the steel of the pan bonds to polymerised oil, forming a deep brown to black surface that acts as a natural non-stick coating, which doesn't peel if over heated, self repairs if scratched (say by metal tools), will not release novel chemicals into your food, or for that matter poison birds. Made in Val-d'Ajol, France by de Buyer, who have been making similar pans in that region since 1830. With triple riveted gunmetal enamelled steel (heat proof) handles. Not for the dishwasher.
