What improvements does the new De Buyer Affinity stainless steel frying pan include
With the same multi-layer construction and the same professional quality, the Affinity frying pan incorporates several improvements in its design:
- Cast stainless steel handle set farther apart from the body of the pan. The elegant "French-style" curve is softer, less pronounced.
- Closed and more flared rim, with a more effective spout and drip stop.
- 2.4 mm in the 20 and 24 cm frying pans, which promotes faster heating. In the 28 and 32 cm sizes, the thickness remains 2.7 mm.
- In addition to being compatible with the de Buyer universal stainless steel lid, also you'll be able to use it with the Alchimy de Buyer glass lid.
Note: To cook with the Affinity frying pan, you should heat it gradually (always with a little oil); it must not go above 3/4 of your hob's power and, if you use it for a long time continuously, you should lower the temperature, since it transfers a lot of heat and, in this way, you will save energy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Affinity, the Alchimy and the Prim Appety?
The construction. The Prim Appety is single-layer with a diffuser in the base; the Alchimy (3 layers) and the Affinity (5 layers) are multi-ply throughout, from base to rim. The more layers, the better it spreads heat and the less power it needs.
What material touches the food?
18/10 stainless steel. The outer layers are stainless steel and the inner ones aluminium, which never comes into contact with food. It has no coating at all.
Do I need to season it?
No. Just wash it with water and washing-up liquid before the first use.
How do I cook with it so food doesn't stick?
Being multi-ply, it doesn't need high power. Heat it gradually with a little oil, don't go above 3/4 of your hob's power and turn the heat down for long cooking: this also stops the base from warping.
Which size should I choose?
The size is the top diameter; the base measures 14.6 cm on the 20 cm pan, 18.8 cm on the 24 cm, 21.4 cm on the 28 cm and 24.3 cm on the 32 cm. Choose the base closest to your hob ring.
What's the difference between the Affinity Classique and the Evolution?
The Evolution is the current model: the handle sits further from the body, the rim is closed and more flared with a pouring lip, and it fits the Alchimy glass lid.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes.
