Overview
A five-layer PTFE coating covers the steel of this de Buyer CHOC pan, which is sold for making and reheating crepes, tortillas and pancakes. The body is round steel with a metal handle, made in France and free of PFOA.
Nonstick release helps with thin batter and easy flipping, and the pan works on induction, gas and electric hobs. The coating is the weak point: the warranty excludes it, and hand washing is the only care instruction listed.
Who it's for
Home cooks making crepes, pancakes or reheating tortillas who want release without butter and have an induction or standard hob. Anyone who prefers uncoated steel, or who counts on a coating warranty, should look at another style.
Pros and cons
- Multi-layer PTFE nonstick coating
- Works on induction, gas and electric
- Made in France
- Hand wash only
- Warranty excludes the coating
- Coated pan, not bare steel
Performance notes
A multi-layer PTFE coating gives thin batter a slick surface, so crepes release without sticking. Steel under the coating carries the heat, and the pan tolerates temperatures up to the stated limit. Coatings wear with use, which is why the warranty leaves the coating out.
