About de Buyer
de Buyer began as a small smithy in Val d'Ajol, France, making cutlery from locally mined metal. It has made utensils in its own French factory since 1830, and it is recognised as an EPV, a French living-heritage label for firms with craft and industrial know-how.
Excell carries de Buyer blue steel fry pans from 300 to 450 mm and omelette pans of 180 and 240 mm, in medium-duty steel 1 to 1.5 mm thick that heats quickly. The range also includes the Kobra, a hand-held mandoline slicer for fruit and vegetables, soft ones included.
Worth knowing
Blued, not coated
The blue finish comes from a heat treatment that gives the steel temporary protection against rust. There is no coating.
Seasons with use
Seasoned and lightly oiled after washing, blue steel builds a natural non-stick patina over time.
Made in France
de Buyer's carbon steel lines carry a Made in France guarantee, and the Kobra slicer is made in France too.
Kobra slicer
A micro-serrated stainless steel blade, a knob in the handle that sets slices up to 5 mm, and a pusher that keeps fingers clear.
