Product Details
The Mineral B Pro Frying Pan from De Buyer is designed to reach high temperatures which are ideal for searing, browning and grilling. These heavy iron pans are very durable, and only improve with time thanks to a natural easy-release layer of 'seasoning' that develops over time as you cook in the pan. You'll know how well-seasoned this pan is based on the colour: It will go from grey to black. When manufactured, it is treated with organic beeswax, which protects the pan from oxidation in transit—this needs to be removed by you prior to use, as it kickstarts the seasoning process. (To learn how to do that, click here. It's very easy!) The Mineral B Pro range features cast stainless steel handles which are oven-safe. The 32cm size also has a helper handle. This pan can be used on all hobs, including induction. It can be used on open barbecues (not covered barbecues like the Big Green Egg, unless the top is open).
Carbon steel is very unique, and thus requires different cleaning and maintenance requirements. Read all about the process, and why it's worth it, in our guide.

Why we love it
'This pan is nothing short of magical. If you're new to carbon steel or cast iron, it does take some getting used to, but once you've developed a layer of seasoning—and the best way to do that is to simply cook in it—you'll see it's completely worth it.'

De Buyer is known internationally as a leader in professional and domestic cookware. Established in 1830, they have almost two centuries worth of experience in manufacturing metal (carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminium, and more), and are excellent at adapting their products for modern kitchens, as exemplified by their range of silicone bakeware and induction-compatible copper pots and pans. In 2009 the French Ministry for the Economy, Finance and Industry presented de Buyer with the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) Award, which recognises the company’s artisanal traditions and industrial excellence.
We have long been fans of their carbon steel Mineral B frying pans, designed to quickly reach the high temperatures ideal for searing, browning and grilling. We also carry items from their Inocuivre range of copper pans, as well as a wide selection of baking and pastry tools.
