Know before you buy
Yes. The pan arrives with a protective beeswax finish that must be washed off with hot water before your initial seasoning process. Seasoning it creates the natural non-stick patina required for optimal performance.
Yes, this pan is compatible with both ovens and stovetops. Its carbon steel construction handles high heat well, making it versatile for pre-heating on the burner or finishing a crust.
Dishwashers use harsh detergents and prolonged moisture that will strip the seasoned patina and cause the carbon steel to rust. To maintain the pan's integrity, always hand wash it with hot water and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
No. The de Buyer Mineral B pan is engineered with heavy-duty carbon steel specifically designed to resist warping, even at high temperatures up to 750°F.
Absolutely. Its flat, low-rim design makes it an excellent choice for tarts, pies, and even cookies. The superior heat distribution ensures even browning across all types of pastry.
No, there are no synthetic or chemical non-stick coatings. The non-stick surface is entirely natural, developed over time as you season the steel and use the pan.
