Any edible oil works, safflower or canola may be best (flax not so great IMO). Clean the pan first and heat evenly/slowly on burner. Using paper towels, swab the interior LIGHTLY with oil. Heat till the oil just smokes. At this temp the oil surface tension changes and it will bead-up like water drops on glass. Knock-down(smooth) the beads w/ another paper towel *before they harden*. Continue/repeat till the oils stops smoking - several minutes. Repeat this 3-4 times. No need to cool down between - just apply oil LIGHTLY w/ paper towels & knock-down beads till it stops smoking - repeat for several cycles. If you ever need to strip & re-season, heat some water+vinegar(or othe acid, oxalic preferred) in the pan, this will dissolve the epoxide easily. Repeat the re-season cycle whenever you feel the pan is getting "grabby" to proteins. DON'T breathe the oil smoke (like BBQ smoke it's mildly carcinogenic) DON'T let paper towels scorch - work quickly. DON'T burn yourself, use tongs. Despite the FABULOUS pan quality, I don't believe the deBuyer vid is a reasonable way for home-users to dseason pans. USE: *ALWAYS* heat-dry a carbon steel pan on a stovetop till it's bone-dry after any water contact/washing. Don't cook acidic foods in a seasoned pan (e.g. tomato sauce) ! This will remove the seasoning layer. A seasoned pan is "low-stick" not "non-stick" as teflon or ceramic - so use a little oil when cooking. ** The advantage is, a seasoned pan will produce a wonderful tasty fond and/or browning on foods that teflon cannot. Mythbusting: - You should clean the hard glassy EPOXIDE layer you've created with soapy water & sponge quickly (don't soak for many minutes) - or even a green-scrubbie occasionally to remove carbon-char. Avoid strong abrasives & acids. Anything that comes off with soapy water is oil, not epoxide. - You are not "filling pores". Mild carbon steel (even cast iron) has (should have) no pores that food could enter. When you cook on an unseasoned metal, the proteins create Maillard product that bond to the surface if they have direct contact (carbohydrates will too above ~350F, oils above their smoke-point). This is why high protein, low fat items (like fish or eggs) stick so badly in an unseasoned pan right around the boiling point. - the seasoning epoxide layer is a carbon polymer - vaguely similar to epoxy glue, and to teflon(PTFE plastic). It WILL break down at very high temperatures (>600F generally) and under acidic conditions, BUT it will not dissolve into water with soap. Water contact (soaking) can eventually soften the epoxide the the point of failure. **Q: What is the difference between the DeBuyer Iron pan and a cast iron pan?** A: To the people posting here about carbon steel pans giving off iron, though true, it is minimal and is being overstated. All pans give off something. Stainless steel gives off nickel and chromium. Some copper is given off in copper pans. Non-stick gives off some chemicals. Carbon steel is still one of the best options. **Q: What is the best method for browning meats-like chicken Parmesan? Heat pan fist then add oil? Or add oil then heat pan? How much oil to use? Thanks** A: If you’re cooking chicken Parmesan I would assume it is breaded. (BTW: I use a 50/50 combination of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan). Then I fry in a combination of butter and olive oil. These pans are steel and so they’re great conductors of heat so stick with a med/high setting. Wait for the butter to foam and then start browning that chicken. Put the butter in first put it in last…I really don’t see the difference. Keep an eye on how fast your chicken is browning and adjust temp accordingly. These pans will give great results at lower temp settings than other pans. Enjoy! **Q: Are these pans safe to use in a a house that has parrots (pet birds)? Thanks!** A: We had 5 parrots for many years, they were hand tame, spoke english were friends with our cats even, A guest came over to my house for a month, she bought a new pan and put it in the oven one day, next time we were cooking we didn't notice this pan was in the bottom of the oven, we cooked something at 400 degrees for an hour, we opened the oven and two minutes later 4 of our birds had lung hemorrhages and started seizing, they died in minutes. Teflon poisoning happens to people too but it's not deadly so we don't notice, idk y ppl don't take this seriously just thought i'd share to spread awareness ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice thick pan very stable see his steak nicely *by O***H on 16 June 2026* Awesome pan 2.5 mm thick nice and heavy very stable when heated up.

This one is not oven safe so be careful not to put it into oven. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely pan to use - takes some looking after though *by C***N on 22 January 2012* 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, it is advisable to wrap a cloth over the handle or use oven gloves. The pan heats up quickly and is ideal for searing meats. 24cm is a good size when cooking for one or two people. This pan is not non-stick - you must season the pan and use it over time in order to build up a patina. The pan comes with some basic instructions on how to season. The more you cook with it, the darker the surface of the pan gets. This is normal and will help build your non-stick coating. Do not worry about it being unhygienic. Frying will kill anything on the cooking surface, though of course you should still wash the pan. De Buyer recommend purifying the pan occasionally to stop residues and odours from previous uses seeping in. You simply heat the pan over a high heat with cooking salt in the pan, and then wipe clean with a kitchen towel. You can use metal utensils on the surface, but also use your common sense. Hard and abrasive scraping will damage the coating you are trying to build up, and you risk scratching the metal. Cleaning is simple. Wash with hot water, a soft sponge and a tiny amount of washing up liquid. Wipe the pan dry all over, otherwise the pan may rust. Any bits of food that stick can be picked away with a plastic scraper or a slightly rougher sponge. Never use a metal scourer. Before you put it away, pour a little oil onto a kitchen towel and wipe the surface of the pan. Do not put it away without the cooking surface being oiled. Before you use it again, you can rinse it with hot water (and then dry). A few things to note if you are used to using non-stick pans: - the surface of the pan will darken and colour. This is a gradual process and the colouration does not happen evenly. If you like your pans to look beautiful and pristine, then these pans are not for you; - they take more looking after. You cannot use a dishwasher with these pans and you need to dry them thoroughly; and - as stated above, when cooking over a high heat, do not grab the handle without protection. For those that are fine with the maintenance aspect of these pans, I recommend them very highly. They are well made and do an exemplary job. ## Frequently Bought Together - De Buyer MINERAL B Carbon Steel Fry Pan - 10.25” Diameter, 7.3” Cooking Surface - Ideal for Searing, Sauteing & Reheating - PFAS, PFOA & PFOS Free - Made in France - De Buyer MINERAL B Carbon Steel Fry Pan - 8” Diameter, 5.5” Cooking Surface - Ideal for Searing, Sauteing & Reheating - PFAS, PFOA & PFOS Free - Made in France - DE BUYER 1830 Mineral B Element Series 4636.00 Neoprene Grip Protector 20 cm Length Neoprene --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/52222020-mineral-b-carbon-steel-fry-pan](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/52222020-mineral-b-carbon-steel-fry-pan) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
