Finally, the perfect frying pan. I have gone through so many non stick and ceramic frying pans. I have tried very old inherited cast iron, and more recent Lodge cast iron. The old cast iron is distorted, the Lodge is ok but has quite a rough surface and it is, of course, very heavy. This pan is highly recommended by chefs so I thought it was worth giving a go. I bought mine from Amazon.fr for £17.70 plus a green handle for £12.75.It took a lot of research on which range to buy before I fixed on the Mineral B. The B stands for beeswax, which is the finish applied to the pan after manufacture. I did read somewhere it was organic beeswax. The pan has a bee logo in the centre.I boiled potato peels to remove some wax and any manufacturing residues,

Having gone through two non-stick frying pans over the last 10 years, I decided to buy something a little more long lasting. I looked at some non-stick pans made from titanium, but they were roughly 30-50% more expensive than this De Buyer pan. I also considered the enamelled cast iron frying pans from Le Creuset, however, the cost and the sheer weight of the pans put me off.The De Buyer pan looks great to me. Functional and stylish. The handle is riveted onto the pan and the whole thing feels weight enough to be solid, but without the enormous heft of a cast iron pan. The handle has a smooth coating on it that feels nice, though be aware that it still conducts heat. If you are frying over a high heat,

These pans are the deal of the century. Period. And De Buyer has quietly been making them since 1830, in France, not in Asia or Eastern Europe.De Buyer iron pans are what my grand mother used, and boy was she right. We still have them and we still love them.When teflon coated aluminum junk took the world by storm, De Buyer kept making and selling these pans. Who were the customers ? Restaurants.Beware, they are heavy, and completely indestructible. You'll be amazed by their top notch quality. They will stand 300°C in the oven (don't ever do that with an aluminum pan) or will sit happily on gas. They will amaze you how fast and high they heat on induction. It's the kitchen equivalent of a Ferrari.

If you are shopping for an uncoated pan, chances are you already have a strong understanding that uncoated steel rusts quickly and you have to season the pan to prevent that and even a seasoned pan will still rust if not dried properly especially a newer one with a thinner seasoning layer so make sure your pan is dryed properly before storage. Also rust is not toxic. It's just oxidised iron and is insanely easy to clean so I don't get why people are so fussy about rust.When seasoning, use flaxseed oil for a glassy and dark surface if you are mostly searing and not moving food around much otherwise use any high smoke point oil which produce a less attractive looking coating but is less prone

At the age of eighty, I am sick of the so-say non-stick frying pans of today, like most things sold today, it is hyped up as something it is not: Then when it arrives, you realise it is yet another con, and that you have been caught again. When you are as long in the tooth as I am, you immediately think back to all the things that were used years ago, that gave wonderful service, and lasted a lifetime, so when my dear wife died, I decided that I was sick of these so called non-stick pans, which only lasted a short time before you were actually eating the non-stick coating along with the food.From that point on I went on the hunt for some old fashioned gear, and found it on the net in abundance.

A very sturdy pan. From the price point I wasn't expecting this kind of quality. If you know what you're doing you'll be able to exploit its great heat retention capacity to achieve great cooking results. Also don't be afraid to take it to high temperatures. It will hold. In the picture you can see mine after a few thin layers of oil and a couple steaks. Heat applied properly will make it develop its patina. Also ignore the pundits that say not to wash your pans... Unless you enjoy salmonella and other nasty bits.The only downside is the coated handle that can only withstand 10 mins in an oven at 200C according to the manufacturer which kind of defeats the purpose of a carbon steel pan.Edit: Remove the yellow silicone logo and your pan is good to go for as long as you want in the oven.

These carbon steel pans are an absolute game changer for home cooking. Sick and tired of replacing non-stick pans I decided to give this a try.What an absolute joy to cook with. Once you build up a nice seasoning layer the pan actually performs better than traditional non stick pans.Steaks are particularly spectacular. Excellent browning and crust layer, great heat distribution. And you can pop these in the oven to finish off the steak if it's very thick.Vegetables, stir frys, eggs, you name it. I will be replacing most of my cookware with carbon steel. Non stick will still have a place for certain foods which may be unsuitable.Just remember. Do not clean with soap, do not scrub with abrasives.

Fantastic - finally got rid of the teflon pans with are apparently bad for me, and to which food stick to like nothings worth when searing at high temperature.Seasons up well (though this does need to done quite frequently compared to the once with a cast iron pan) - a smear of oil and high heat for 30s is enough.Metal utensils can be used -- but be sensible -- avoid damaging the seasoning layer too much, or food will start to stick.Good attempt at heat distribution (from a ceramic hob with very specific hot spots) and food won't stick if used correctly.Good size for 2 normal people or 1 big eater. Take are with size -- the diameter given is across the top.Very heavy and good heat retention.

I have read a lot about seasoning these pans. I immediately washed the pan in very hot water to remove the wax covering. This pan did not fit into my oven so I seasoned it by wiping kitchen paper soaked in rapeseed( canola) oil around the whole pan and then putting it on a ring at medium heat until the oil starts to smoke. I then left it on the ring to completely cool overnight. I repeated this process two more times. Then I cooked. Scrambled eggs, perfect. Gammon steaks,perfect, chilli stir fry, perfect. The only cleaning required was hot water and soft washing up brush. The pans look beautiful when they come out of the brown paper. Seasoning turns the pans brown.

This product is sooo good. When I was reading the reviews before purchase there were a few bad ones saying everything they cooked stuck to it. Well, experiencing this product for myself, following all the instructions I can quite honestly say it is a dream to use and regret not buying one much sooner in life. It makes anything you cook look so much better somehow. It looks really stytlish too and this one is a great size for all your frying needs. Perfect size for an omelette, and not too heavy to handle. You will find it needs less heat to it than a regular pan and holds the heat better. I have not burnt one thing since using this probably because it does hold the heat better. Would recommend,

This is a good quality pan for a very decent price. I bought it only for grilling steaks when BBQ is not possible. The flavour and taste is far superior than cooking of a non stick pan.Took me a while to get the seasoning right, but now it's going strong. If you cook acid food, seasoning will come off so careful with tomato sauce. Cleaning requires a bit of time especially at the beginning. While it cleans easily, it requires to be dried properly and maintained with a drop of oil on high heat to prevent building rust and becoming rancid. After some time of use when seasoning becomes black, this is less of an issue.

Once this pan is pre-treated with oil it cooks everything beautifully. Personally, I am fed up with non-stick pans which all seem to lose their non-stick coating in time. I have bought many in the past and no matter what you pay they don't seem to last, but pans like this one (French made and they seem to know what they're doing when it comes to cooking!!) are virtually impossible to damage and therefore last forever I suppose!I cook on an induction hob so there is no excessive heat or flames licking round the pan. This means they are looked after better. Try it and see for yourselves!

Beautiful, well made, will last a life time and recyclable. After seasoning and being treated carefully for a few weeks it now has a lovely non-stick patina, and tricky things like omelettes and fried eggs just slip out. Why doesn't everyone use these? All those years of rubbish (and possibly carcinogenic) nonstick pans that last 6 months if your lucky and then get chucked in the landfill - what a waste. Follow the care instructions and this will be the best kitchen buy you will ever make (apart from Global knifes - which are equally good!)

I bought one of these locally. I have not had this brand before, but I have a steel pan (very similar) that I have had for years - and it's still one of my favourites. Use it, re-season sometimes and it is as non-stick as a 'non-stick' pan! de Buyer include a useful booklet and if you look on their website there are a couple of A4 pages of Questions & Answers. Just follow what they say about first seasoning and about washing and deglazing and it should work as well as my first pan.

This is a lovely sized pan, a good size for say 8 regular sausages, a decent omelette for two or a couple of reasonable steaks. I add this as sausage capacity is a more useful gauge of size to me than pan diameter in inches or centimetres! Sturdy, honest construction with a really nice weight to it, and these pans (if used correctly) will last and last. I have wanted a De Buyer pan for ages and am not disappointed.
