AFFINITY is de Buyer's 5-ply range: stainless steel outside, aluminium inside. The result is a very responsive pan that heats fast, spreads heat evenly up the sides and stops cooking almost instantly off the heat. The Lyonnaise-style flared sides slide food straight onto the plate.
Why it works
- 5-ply stainless and aluminium construction that will not warp
- Ideal for searing, grilling, browning and flambéing
- Riveted cast stainless handle for a comfortable grip
- High-end mirror polish
- All cooktops including induction, and oven
- Made in France
18/10 or AISI 304 stainless steel?
They are the same food-grade stainless steel. AISI 304 is the official international name, and 18/10 is the everyday one, with the 10 referring to the nickel content.
Care
Heat gradually. Dishwasher safe. Polish occasionally with a stainless polishing paste to restore the shine.
