Material: The DeBuyer La Lyonnaise Frypan is made of blue carbon steel, also known simply as blue steel. Blue steel is highly regarded in professional kitchens for its excellent heat conductivity and durability. It's especially suitable for achieving high temperatures quickly and evenly distributing heat across the cooking surface.

Thickness: The frypan typically has a thickness of 1.2mm, which strikes a balance between heat retention and responsiveness. This thickness allows the pan to heat up quickly while providing enough thermal mass to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process.

Shape: The La Lyonnaise Frypan features a classic round shape, providing a generous cooking surface area and allowing for easy flipping and tossing of ingredients. The sloped sides make it suitable for tasks like sautéing, frying, and shallow frying.

Induction Compatibility: This frypan is designed to be compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. This versatility allows for seamless integration into different kitchen environments.

Non-Stick Properties: Like other carbon steel cookware, the La Lyonnaise Frypan develops a natural non-stick surface over time with proper seasoning and use. Seasoning involves coating the pan with a thin layer of oil and heating it to create a protective layer that prevents food from sticking.

Handle: The frypan typically features a long handle for easy maneuverability and control during cooking. The handle is usually made of stainless steel or another heat-resistant material for safe handling.

Maintenance: To maintain its non-stick properties and prevent rusting, the frypan should be washed with hot water and mild soap after each use. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents, and ensure the pan is thoroughly dried before storing. Additionally, periodic re-seasoning may be necessary to maintain the non-stick surface.
