Core Operational Features
Professional Carbon Steel Construction: Engineered for rapid heating and exceptional temperature responsiveness, the carbon steel body delivers superior searing performance while providing precise control throughout the cooking process.
Naturally Non-Stick Cooking Surface: As the pan is seasoned through regular use, it develops a durable natural release surface that improves cooking performance without synthetic non-stick coatings.
Protective Beeswax Finish: A washable beeswax coating protects the pan prior to its initial seasoning while supporting the development of a long lasting naturally seasoned cooking surface.
Large Capacity Cooking Surface: The generous 12.5 inch diameter provides ample room for preparing larger meals, multiple portions, or ingredients that benefit from increased surface contact and even browning.
Built for Professional Durability: Designed to withstand years of frequent use, the heavy duty carbon steel construction resists warping under high heat while maintaining outstanding cooking performance.
Professional Applications
Ideal for searing steaks, browning meats, sautéing vegetables, frying eggs, cooking pancakes, preparing lamb chops, reheating prepared dishes, and creating rich caramelization across a wide range of professional and everyday recipes.
Why Professionals Choose It
Professional chefs value the de Buyer MINERAL B collection for its outstanding heat control, rugged construction, and ability to build a naturally non-stick surface over time. The large 12.5 inch format makes it particularly well suited for high volume cooking while delivering the responsiveness and durability expected from traditional French carbon steel cookware.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash only using warm water and a soft brush or sponge. Dry immediately after cleaning and apply a light coat of cooking oil to maintain the seasoned surface. Do not place the pan in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in water. With proper seasoning and regular maintenance, the cooking surface will continue to improve, providing exceptional non-stick performance for years of professional use.
