The De Buyer Affinity series heats up unusually quickly, allowing for fast cooking and preparation. The cooking process stops immediately when the heat source is removed. You have full control, protecting vitamins and flavors while saving energy. Design, function, and finish go hand in hand, with optimal cooking results as the focus. The Affinity series is designed from a single piece, resulting in a very harmonious and elegant outcome. Gentle curves, refined lines, generous dimensions, and ergonomic stainless steel handles with a polished finish characterize the series. The good symmetry ensures uncompromising resistance to deformation, even under extreme temperature fluctuations. The selection and effort in material choice are unparalleled: a composition of seven layers of aluminum and stainless steel ensures good heat distribution and prevents localized overheating. Affinity is suitable for all heat sources, including induction, easy to clean, and both oven and dishwasher safe.
