This de Buyer Mineral B Frying Pan is a professional-grade carbon steel pan designed for high-temperature cooking such as searing, browning, and frying. It is widely used by chefs and serious home cooks due to its durability and ability to develop a natural non-stick surface over time.

The pan is made from 99% iron and 1% carbon steel, giving it excellent heat conductivity and responsiveness.
Unlike coated pans, it has no synthetic non-stick layer, instead relying on seasoning to build a natural patina that improves with use.

A natural beeswax coating is applied during manufacturing to protect against oxidation and support the initial seasoning process.

Key Features:

Material: Carbon steel (iron-based, heavy-duty construction)
Coating: Natural beeswax (no PTFE or chemical non-stick)
Thickness: Approx. 2.5 mm steel for durability
Heat Performance: Excellent for high-heat cooking and searing
Non-Stick: Develops naturally through seasoning over time
Origin: Made in France

Performance & Cooking Use

This pan excels in:

Searing steaks and meats (high heat tolerance)
Frying eggs and vegetables (after seasoning)
Browning and caramelisation (Maillard reaction)

Carbon steel pans like this are valued because they combine the heat retention of cast iron with lighter weight and faster responsiveness.
