Professional kitchens often sing the praises of brands that we as consumers rarely get to play with. Enter De Buyer. For over 180 years, this tip top French company has supplied tools to some of the best kitchens worldwide and, lucky for us, some of the highlights of their range can now be found on our Yuppiechef shelves. Keen to find out more? Read on, folks.
So what makes tools suitable for a professional kitchen?
they need to be extremely hard-wearing,
offer a quality that won’t disappoint chefs at the top of their game
have the ability to help produce large quantities with ease
most importantly, they must offer precision
It’s a tall order. If you’re keen to experience this sort of quality in your home, here are some of our picks from the range.
Mineral B Element pans
De Buyer products are known for their materials, in fact de Buyer was a sheet metal producer back in 1830. It’s true. With the correct seasoning, these Mineral B pans can be virtually non-stick and have a much longer lifespan than their non-stick relations. They are made from steel which suits high heat cooking, making searing and sealing a breeze. Check out the Mineral B Frying Pan, Mineral B Oval Roasting Pan and the Mineral B Blini Pan. Seasoning these pans is important, here’s how to do it.
Moul’flex silicone moulds
Is baking your thing? The de Buyer Moul’flex range is designed to make quick work of baking treats. Easy to pop out without sticking or mess and equally useful for freezing. There’s a large range to choose from but we especially like the Moul’flex Madeleine Pan, the Moul’flex Muffin Pan and the Moul’flex Heart Shaped Mini Cake Pan.
Prima Matera copper pans
Looking for an exceptional pan that would also win a beauty pageant? Well you may have found what you’re after. Many a professional kitchen cooks on induction so these pans are made with a stainless steel magnetic base to ensure their compatibility with induction and all other stove tops. Chef’s love them due to copper’s superb heat conductivity. Yes, you will have to polish beautiful burnished pink pots every now and then but they should endure the toughest challenges in your kitchen and you may just be able to hand them down to the grandkids. Take a look at the Prima Matera Frypan, the Prima Matera Casserole and the Prima Matera Saucepan.
