De Buyer Mineral B frying pan

Heavy-duty carbon-steel frying pan coated with natural beeswax for quicker seasoning. A seasoned pan has natural non-stick properties and becomes better the more it is used. The carbon-steel pan will last forever and is indestructible. The pan heats up quickly and becomes hot enough to brown the surface and develop the flavours in the Maillard reaction. The lyonnaise skirt - the traditional French rounded shape of the pan - makes it easy to toss food, turn an omelette in the air for example, and slide it onto a plate. Riveted, unbreakable iron handle. Thickness 2,5-3 mm. Pans 32 cm and larger are equipped with an extra handle to help lifting.

Season the pan before first use. To clean, rinse with warm water, dry and oil lightly. Store in a dry place. Do not use detergents or put in the dishwasher. All cook tops including induction.

Tips: Heat the pan well before cooking. If the pan should loose its non-stick properties you can clean a warm pan with a spoonful of salt and re-season it; if the base should become deformed from a sudden temperature chock it is easily made flat with one hammer blow; if the pan is left in a damp place and starts rusting it can be cleaned with steel wool and even sandpaper.

De Buyer have produced carbon-steel pans in the same factory since 1830!
