This is the #1 question! The answer is no, provided you know a little 30-second trick: the water droplet test. Once the pan is at the right temperature, stainless steel naturally becomes non-stick. We explain all 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 hobs. The bonus? They are also oven-safe up to 250°C, ideal for browning a dish or keeping dinner warm for latecomers.

Yes, absolutely. Unlike classic pans, our 18/10 stainless steel has no chemical coating (no PFAS, no plastic). Nothing flakes off, nothing ends up on your children's plates. It's 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, and it's like new. And for those days when you're feeling lazy? It goes in the dishwasher without any problem. Unlike cast iron, stainless steel requires no special maintenance; it's indestructible.

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