De Buyer MINERAL B Carbon Steel Fry Pan for Ideal Searing Performance

The De Buyer MINERAL B Carbon Steel Fry Pan is a must-have for any kitchen enthusiast. With a diameter of 9.5 in and a cooking surface of 6.9 in, this fry pan is ideal for searing meat, sauteing vegetables, and reheating leftovers. Made from high-quality carbon steel, it is one of the most natural cooking materials available, favored by chefs worldwide for its exceptional performance.

One of the standout features of this fry pan is its absence of harsh chemicals. Unlike many traditional non-stick pans, the MINERAL B is free from PFAS, PFOA, and PFOS, ensuring that your cooking experience is safe and healthy. It is lighter and more heat responsive than cast iron, making it better suited for high-heat cooking than stainless steel.

Seasoning the carbon steel fry pan is a straightforward process. Start by handwashing to remove the beeswax coating, then dry the pan thoroughly. Gradually heat it to medium-high, applying a thin layer of oil to coat the bottom and sides. Heat for about 10 minutes or until it begins to smoke, then cool for 10 minutes, drain, and wipe dry. This simple method ensures that your pan develops a natural non-stick surface over time.

When it comes to use and care, the MINERAL B fry pan is designed for longevity. It should be hand washed only, avoiding harsh soaps that can strip the seasoning. This versatile pan can be used on all cooking surfaces, including induction, and is oven safe for up to 10 minutes at 400F, making it perfect for a variety of cooking techniques.
