MINERAL B Carbon Steel Fry Pan

No, it is not pre-seasoned like a non-stick pan. It arrives with a protective beeswax coating that you must wash off, and you will need to season the pan yourself before your first use. Over time, as you cook with it, the pan will develop a natural, dark patina that creates a reliable non-stick surface.

No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. Carbon steel will rust if exposed to the harsh detergents and prolonged moisture of a dishwasher. You should hand wash it with hot water and a brush, then dry it immediately and apply a light coat of oil to maintain the seasoning.

The riveted steel handle is designed to stay cooler than the pan body, but it can still get warm during long cooking sessions. It is always a good practice to keep an oven mitt or kitchen towel nearby, especially if you are using the pan in the oven.

Yes, this pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Because it is made of carbon steel, it is naturally magnetic, allowing it to heat up quickly and efficiently on induction surfaces.

After cooking, let the pan cool slightly, then wash it with hot water and a stiff brush. Avoid using soap if possible, as it can strip the seasoning. If you have stuck-on food, you can use a bit of coarse salt as an abrasive, then rinse, dry thoroughly on the stove, and wipe with a thin layer of oil before storing.
