xDiscover the MINERAL B Carbon Steel Fry Pan
The MINERAL B Fry Pan from de Buyer brings a century-and-a-half of French cookware expertise into everyday cooking. With a 12.25-inch exterior diameter and a 9-inch cooking surface, it offers a generous platform for searing, sautéing, reheating, or whipping up eggs with ease. Built from carbon steel—the material many chefs prize for its natural performance—this pan blends a lightweight feel with responsive heat for versatile kitchen use.
Why this pan stands out
- Natural carbon steel construction provides a responsive heat profile that heats quickly and cools with control.
- Lightweight compared with traditional cast iron, yet capable of high-heat searing and browning.
- Naturally non-stick after proper seasoning, without relying on artificial coatings.
- Induction-ready and compatible with all cooking surfaces for flexible kitchen setup.
- Oven-safe for brief use up to 400°F, expanding its versatility beyond the stovetop.
- Founded in France in 1830, the brand brings a heritage of precision and culinary craft.
What you can cook with it
- Seared proteins: steaks, chicken thighs, or fish with a flavorful crust.
- Bright sautés: vegetables, aromatics, and one-pan medleys with even browning.
- Reheating leftovers: reheat gently while preserving texture and color.
- Eggs and breakfast favorites: delicate omelets or crisp edges on frittatas.
Seasoning, care, and everyday use
The pan ships with a beeswax coating that can be removed before the first seasoning. Easy to season and maintain, it rewards patient care with a natural patina that enhances non-stick performance over time. To care for the pan, hand wash and avoid harsh soaps that can strip the seasoning. It can be used on all cooktops, including induction, and it tolerates brief oven use at 400°F. A few simple steps to season create a durable surface that develops its own character as you cook.
Tips for best results
- Preheat gradually to your desired temperature, then add a thin layer of oil to coat the surface.
- Maintain the patina with light seasoning and regular cooking to keep the surface responsive.
- Match cooking surface to the pan for even heat distribution and reliable browning.
