De Buyer Mineral B French Commercial Carbon Steel Frypan - 8 inch

Product Information Those crazy French at de Buyer have been making cookware since 1830 and continue to produce it only in France! Their MINERAL B carbon steel collection builds on that proud tradition. Carbon steel shares many of the same properties as a cast iron pan without the excessive weight. It heats very evenly on any cooking surface, including induction. And even better, once seasoned, you will have a non-stick skillet WITHOUT ANY CHEMICAL COATINGS!!! These de Buyer pans are a staple in French restaurant kitchens. Beeswax Removal The beeswax is used to prevent the pan from rusting and to save time when seasoning. Prior to first use, clean the pan with very hot water to remove the beeswax from the entire pan. If at first use, you notice any wax residue, use a paper towel to wipe your hot pan clean or heat your pan on a baking sheet in the oven at 200 degrees and when pan is hot, wipe clean. Seasoning Seasoning, cover the bottom of the pan with flavorless oil and heat for 5 min
