Order lost in the post. De buyer refuses to take care of anything and I'm left to fend for myself (even though they are legally responsible for the parcel until I receive it). This Christmas present probably won't be under the tree. Next time I'll go through Amazon.

4 stars and not 5 for two reasons: - We postponed delivery by two days but this was not taken into account by the deliveryman! - Stove very good but too expensive :)

a few scratches on the steel pan after unpacking...
Translated reviews
Response from DE BUYER

Hello,
Thank you for choosing our Mineral B steel stove, and we're delighted that you've taken the time to share your opinion.
Regarding the micro-scratches you observed after unpacking, we would like to point out that our stove is made from raw steel, which makes it an exceptionally robust product. Raw steel is renowned for its durability and strength, and may naturally show slight marks which in no way affect the pan's performance.
If you wish, please feel free to send us photos to the following e-mail address: [email protected]
This will enable us to confirm that these are indeed micro-scratches, and to assure you that your stove is in perfect working order.
We are here to answer any questions you may have, and to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase.
Best regards.

I apologize in advance for the bad review. But the dimensions of the piece were not displayed on your website. My pastry chef and I thought it should be standard. Except that the piece is 2 cm too long. So it's of no use to me.

The edges of the pan are too low and the handle is hot when touched without gloves.
Translated reviews
Response from DE BUYER
Hello, we're very sorry to hear that your experience with one of our products was unsatisfactory.
A non-stick frying pan is designed for low-temperature cooking, to reheat or reappropriate a dish. Under these conditions, the handle should not become hot. However, if you wish, you can use an insulating sleeve to minimize heat transmission. We encourage you to contact our customer service department at: [email protected]
Our team will be delighted to help you find a solution to your needs.
Thank you for your understanding. Best regards.

Overall satisfied with the quality of the Alchimy range, but disappointed with the stainless steel lids offered, which come from the Prim'appetit range and don't fit the pans well. Glass lids fit better.
Translated reviews
Response from DE BUYER
Hello, thank you for your interest in our products. The stainless steel lid recommended for the ALCHIMY and PRIM'APPETY collections is indeed the same, and fits both collections. Despite a slight play on the ALCHIMY, the lid fits snugly and doesn't wobble.
What's more, the ALCHIMY glass lid fits perfectly with the ALCHIMY collection, as shown in the PDF catalog available on our website. There you'll find an accessories guide offering full visibility of lid compatibility. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards.

I don't have enough experience yet... I've only used the stove once, after following the start-up instructions. I was a little disappointed to find that it colored rather irregularly, I will repeat the process before the 2nd use.

Very good quality, but the small diameter of the pan makes it difficult to capture induction.
Translated reviews
Response from DE BUYER
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experiences with us.
If the size of the inductor is much larger or smaller than the bottom of your pan, this may result in less effective detection by the induction hob.
We take your feedback seriously and are constantly working to improve our products.
Best regards.

I bought 2 knives, and I'm really delighted with my purchase. I'd been wanting to buy quality knives for a while, so I could enjoy cooking. Challenge met! On the other hand, the packaging is really disgraceful and I weigh my words. I received a parcel measuring about 60cm by 40cm and 20cm high for a paring knife and a chef's knife. Frankly, I understand the need to protect knives, but you can't go overboard.

Perfect for whipping up egg whites and whipped cream... with elbow grease. Today's electric beaters are not so efficient. Their whisks are now thick and square, rather than thin and round as they used to be (probably for reasons of industrial profitability).

Bought a 24cm frying pan. The frying pan was packed in a rather large cardboard box, which in turn was packed in an even larger cardboard box. In the end, I think it's an excessive package for a 24cm frying pan, too much waste for just one frying pan, no matter how good it is. Otherwise, I think it should be made clear on the sales site that the diameter corresponds to the flared part of the pan and not the bottom. People order with the naive idea that the diameter corresponds to the bottom, in order to adapt to the diameter of the induction hob's hearth. "24" hearth, so I'll take a 24" frying pan, but in fact no, it doesn't fit. I think it would be useful for it to be more clearly indicated for utensils as flared as a frying pan. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the quality.

Hello, we understand your concern about our packaging. We place great importance on the customer experience and the environmental impact of our business. Our priority is to ensure that your products arrive in perfect condition, which may sometimes require the use of more paper. However, we would like to emphasize that all our stuffing papers are recyclable and no plastic is used for packaging.
During the production of our products, we use a single packaging for both pallet shipments for professionals and parcel shipments for private customers. This approach guarantees the safety of our products while minimizing the environmental impact of our packaging.
We are constantly striving to improve our shipping and delivery services. We are constantly adapting to better meet the needs of consumer parcels, a relatively new area for us. Your feedback is valuable and will help us improve our packaging process.
The measurement of our products' diameters is another area we are actively working on. We are working to make this information clearer on our website in the near future. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department. Our team will be happy to provide you with the answers you need. Best regards.

Hello, I am very happy to have received the equipment I ordered. It complements other De Buyer items that I particularly like. However, I currently have induction hobs on which the small saucepan I received does not work. However, it is clearly stated that the stainless steel used is induction-compatible. Furthermore, the lack of conduction is not linked to the size of the pan, as I use an even narrower Moka on the same hob. Could the "De Buyer" engraving on the bottom of the pan be the cause? What advice could you give me to make the pan really induction-compatible? I bought this pan to replace one that didn't work on induction, so it's a bit disappointing. Thank you very much, Luigi Gatti.
Translated reviews
Response from DE BUYER
Hello, thank you very much for your interest in our products. We advise you to contact our customer service department in order to find a solution adapted to your situation. It is unlikely that the laser engraving on the outer bottom of the pan is the cause of the detection problem on your hob. It's important to check the characteristics of your hob, especially the diameter of the inductors, to understand the source of the malfunction. Rest assured that we will do our utmost to resolve this problem efficiently. Yours sincerely

Hello, Disappointed because surprised by several features that I did not imagine. 1- I ordered pans with a diameter of 20cm as indicated on the site. But when I received them, I noticed that they were 20cm in diameter at the top and 14cm at the bottom, whereas my wish was to have two pans 20cm in diameter at the bottom. The description on the website is not precise enough. 2- I discovered that the pans do not have a non-stick coating, and that I had to do the basting myself. This specificity is not obvious to the uninitiated. On the other hand, it's obvious that these stoves are of very high quality, but I don't use them because they're too complicated for me. Yours sincerely, Philippe Pinteaux

Response from DE BUYER
Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our products. Your feedback is essential to help us improve our products and online information. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with several aspects of our steel stoves.
Please allow us to clarify these points:
Regarding the size of the pans, we understand your dissatisfaction with the difference in diameter between the top edge and the bottom. We recognize that this can be disconcerting, and will take steps to make this information more explicit to avoid future misunderstandings.
Regarding the non-stick coating, we're sorry you were surprised by its absence. Our pans are made of steel, which makes them ideal for browning, searing and grilling food. They do, however, need to be tumbled to obtain a non-stick surface.
We're pleased to hear that you find our pans to be of high quality, even if they don't entirely meet your expectations. If you have any questions or need advice on the basting, use and maintenance of our steel pans, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help!
Your Customer Service.
