Hello, it's very simple. Ceramic pans = garbage. The coating sticks and they are useless. Raw cast iron is great, but you have to master it. Iron/steel pans = happiness for: cooking meat (especially red meat), eggs and any other type of dish with a little sauce. You have to grease a little each time. The meat caramelizes (Maillard principle), and the eggs = extraordinary because they are crunchy and soft on top. Be careful, you have to test and it takes a little time to adapt. For fish, roesti = teflon... alas. But I always use my de Buyer and other Teflon pans for all delicate foods. I can't do without my iron pan. To clean it, not in the dishwasher. It must be cleaned under water with a stainless steel sponge. It is a good idea to clean it under water with a stainless steel sponge, but don't hesitate to scrape it clean because it will be very dirty, but that's normal, and don't use a wife with a green coating = sandpaper, and you will scratch your pan. Then, you must dry it otherwise it will rust ...... but it is not serious, a blow of oil and you remove the rust. When you use it, your iron pan will turn an ugly brown. But this is absolutely normal. In short, this iron frying pan is a joy and I strongly recommend it. And you will see, you will throw away your ceramic pans. Another alternative is to buy a stainless steel pan! It's the same principle. But the cleaning is much more delicate because you scratch the stainless steel and it's a mess to clean. To sum up, for me, the iron pan was a revelation and above all, for cleaning, don't be afraid to rub like crazy with a stainless steel sponge. 30 seconds maximum to clean it. And it's so sturdy, your grandchildren can still use it. So, buy it with your eyes closed, although you should make the effort to understand how it works. Because you are entering a different world than Teflon. And the price may be expensive, but it's an investment in the long term because you'll be using it all your life.... and beyond.
The bottom has a diameter of 20 cm
I googled it for you. Even the de Buyer websites are contradictory. It seems to me that the description on this page is correct: https://pfannenhelden.de/pfannen-ma...

Yes, you can sauté onions and garlic in it.
However, the pan is not suitable for prolonged cooking of highly acidic foods (e.g. tomato Bolognese), as this attacks and favours rust.

The handle is made of stainless steel and is firmly riveted. It gets hot when cooking, so you should be careful when handling it and use a kitchen towel or oven cloth if necessary.

Just seen it: Yes, it is :-)

Works great with induction. However, it is best not to use the power function, as the pan will overheat quickly.

Owner of 20cm pan here, the bottom measures ~14cm in diameter.
Helpful answer
NO not for baking dishes
Max 10min at 200deg.
The diameter of a pan is usually always measured at the top. Thus, the top of the pan is 24 cm / without handles. The bottom diameter of the pan is 16.5 cm.

Hello,
The pan has a height of 14 cm including the handle.
I can only recommend the pan, use only a little oil when frying.
If there is residue, clean the pan with warm water without using detergent. Oil again afterwards .....
Rather not. Basically, this pan needs a so-called "seasoning" before it can be used, i.e. fats are burnt in so that a protective layer is created. This would probably be destroyed in the dishwasher and you would have to start all over again.
There are many instructions on Youtube, one of which is: https://www.youtube.com/watch
I hope this helps.
Yes it still has a handle like in the picture.
Pan bottom inside is 23 cm. And the width is 27 cm. I have just discovered the DeBuyer pans. Never cooked with iron pans before and wish I had discovered them sooner. A dream.
Helpful answer
If I remember correctly, the handle is coated, but the pan is still ovenproof. However, the handle should not touch anything in the oven, otherwise the coating could be damaged.
