This is the #1 question! The answer is no, provided you know a little 30-second trick: the water drop test. Once the pan is at the right temperature, stainless steel naturally becomes non-stick. We explain all of this in the small paper guide we include in your package. You'll see, you'll quickly get the hang of it!

Absolutely. Our pans are designed to work on all hob types: induction, gas, electric hobs, and even ceramic. The bonus? They are also oven-safe up to 250°C, ideal for browning a dish or keeping dinner warm for latecomers.

Yes, without a doubt. Unlike conventional pans, our 18/10 stainless steel has no chemical coating (no PFAS, no plastic). Nothing flakes off, nothing ends up on the children's plates. It is a pure and neutral material: you only cook the taste of your food, nothing else.

We’ve found the right balance: enough metal for perfect cooking, but a weight that remains comfortable for everyday cooking without tiring your wrist.

Not at all. For everyday cleaning, a quick wipe with a sponge and a little dish soap will make it good as new. And for those lazy days? It's perfectly safe to put in the dishwasher. Unlike cast iron, stainless steel requires no special maintenance; it's virtually indestructible.

Because we build solid products, here in Châteauroux. As there is no coating to wear out, there is nothing that can "age". A Maison Vayrou pan won't scratch or deform. It's a purchase you'll only make once in your life.
