de Buyer

Tracing its beginnings back to 1810 the de Buyer family were originally Iron mill owners commissioned to manufacture saucepans and stockpots for a group or artisan designers in the Faymont region of France. By 1867 the de Buyers were manufacturing cookware of their own and from these beginnings the multi-national company was born. In 2009 the Ministry for the Economy, Finance and Industry presented de Buyer with the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) award, which has recognised French companies with traditional expertise and industrial excellence for decades. Despite the company’s long heritage it remains a leading light in the development of ever more ground breaking techniques of manufacture to produce the finest cookware available today. De Buyer is used in many professional kitchens across the world and ranges have been designed to with stand the rigors of professional high end restaurant cooking. With ranges such as de Buyer Blue Steel, where the pan is manufactured to withstand intense heat making them ideal for Flame Cooking, the complete pan is made from heavy iron allowing for optimal heat distribution at the highest temperature.
