Professional chef's frying pan with excellent cooking properties and an almost eternal lifespan! The carbon steel pan is a good alternative to Teflon pans and, like cast iron, requires some care. A well-maintained carbon steel pan develops a natural non-stick surface formed by fat and carbon, reducing the need for maintenance and increasing non-stick properties. A frequently used carbon steel pan even has the cooking qualities of a cast iron pan and the non-stick properties of a Teflon pan! Additionally, metal utensils can be used safely with the pan.

The De Buyer Mineral B series features a completely natural and chemical-free organic beeswax coating as a pre-treatment. The coating protects the pan from rust and helps with initial use. It forms the first cooking surface on the carbon steel while improving the pan's non-stick properties. Before the first use, wash the pan with hot water to remove any storage dust – most of the beeswax will be removed from the surface. The small remaining amount of wax is harmless and actually helps with the pan's initial use. If desired, you can also season the pan by burning fat – see the instructions in the accompanying video link.

Carbon steel is the best option for making pancakes – the pancake gets the proper toasted surface and does not stick to the pan.

Carbon steel is not as porous a material as cast iron, so you can safely cook all ingredients. For ingredients with a high protein content, such as eggs or white fish, it's important to be careful and significantly reduce the heat. You shouldn't try to keep carbon steel looking like bright stainless steel, as it changes color with use. The pan's interior darkens, and when the interior surface is completely black, its natural non-stick surface is at its best.

Carbon steel pans must not be washed in the dishwasher; usually, hot water alone is enough for hand washing. You also cannot store food in a carbon steel pan or leave it soaking in the sink due to rusting. If surface rust appears on the pan, it is not unusable; rust can be removed with a coarse sponge or steel wool. After use, washing, and drying, it is advisable to apply a drop of canola oil to the pan to prevent surface rust during storage.

Suitable for all heat sources and stovetops, including induction. The frying pan can also be used in the oven (200 °C max 10 min).

• Outer diameter at the top edge: 24 cm
• Edge height: 1.4 cm
• Thickness: 2.5 mm

The pressed body of the carbon steel pan may sometimes warp slightly. To prevent this, avoid placing a hot pan into cold water. Using the pan at full power on the stove may also cause warping. If warping occurs, it is advisable to warm the pan slightly first, place it upside down on a sturdy surface, and tap the center of the pan's bottom with a hammer.
