With the \u003cstrong\u003eDe Buyer Pancake Pan Mineral B Element ø 26 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, you can cook them exactly as they are meant to be: thin, golden brown, and effortlessly flipped. This is the pan that real pancakes start with - made in France, from pure carbon steel, without any chemical nonsense. Just honest craftsmanship that proves itself in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this pan is different from the rest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost pancake pans work fine - until the non-stick coating starts to peel after a year and you wonder what is actually in your batter. De Buyer chooses a different path. The Mineral B pan has \u003cstrong\u003eno chemical coating\u003c\/strong\u003e, but works with pure 3 mm thick carbon steel and a thin layer of beeswax for protection. The more you use it, the better it gets. That’s not a sales pitch - that’s simply how steel works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-built non-stick layer\u003c\/strong\u003e - Through use and seasoning, a natural layer forms that works better each time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow edge of just 22 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e - Your spatula slides effortlessly underneath, flipping is a breeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 mm thick carbon steel\u003c\/strong\u003e - Distributes heat quickly and evenly, no hot spots, no burnt edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePFAS-free and without chemical coating\u003c\/strong\u003e - Pure steel, pure cooking, no worries about harmful substances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for all heat sources\u003c\/strong\u003e - Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, and induction: the pan works everywhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in France\u003c\/strong\u003e - De Buyer has been producing since 1830 in the Vosges, and you can feel the quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSeasoning: one-time effort, a lifetime of enjoyment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first use, you need to season the pan - and it’s truly worth the investment. Heat the pan over medium heat, rub it with a thin layer of oil (use a kitchen paper), and let it sit until a light puff of smoke appears. Let it cool, wipe clean, and repeat this once or twice. This is the moment when you and this pan make a long-term commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter seasoning, wash the pan with warm water and a soft sponge - never in the dishwasher. Dry it thoroughly and rub it with a drop of oil before storing. That may sound like work, but it’s more of a ritual: the little care that ensures your pan still cooks like new in ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then the real enjoyment begins. The first pancake is always for the cook - a culinary tradition with a wink. After that, the stack rolls in effortlessly: thin, golden brown, with that slightly crispy edge that you only get from a well-heated steel pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe art of the perfect crêpe - and how this pan makes it possible\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good crêpe pan needs two things: even heat distribution and a low edge. The Mineral B has both. The base of 217 mm wide gives you enough space for a real thin crêpe, while the edge of just 22 mm high makes flipping feel almost like a dance. Slide your spatula underneath, one fluid motion, and done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3 mm thick carbon steel retains heat and distributes it evenly across the entire base. No hot spots in the middle, no raw edges on the outside. Every crêpe cooks just as beautifully as the last - whether you choose the classic beurre-sucre, a savoury version with ham and cheese, or something special for a Sunday morning to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShort in the oven? No problem. The pan is oven-safe up to 200 °C for a maximum of 10 minutes - handy if you want to keep multiple crêpes warm for your guests while you work on the next round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePure steel, no compromise\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beeswax layer that comes standard on the pan is not a non-stick coating but a rust protector for transport and storage. You simply wash it off with warm water before the first use. What remains is pure carbon steel - honest, robust, and ready to perform. No PFAS, no PTFE, no PFOA. Just steel that gets better the more you use it. At De Buyer, they don’t call it a gimmick - that’s just how good cookware works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight of 1390 grams gives the pan a solid, confident feel in hand. Not heavy enough to be tiring, but sturdy enough to know that this is serious material. The total length of 478 mm with handle is pleasantly balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e💡 \u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always use a bit of butter or clarified butter (beurre clarifié) for the best results. Butter gives that typical French flavour and helps the pan build up further. Be tempted by the aroma that fills your kitchen as soon as the butter sizzles - that’s the moment when cooking really begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e De Buyer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral B Element\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pancake Pan \/ Crepe Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260 mm (base diameter: 217 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length (incl. handle):\u003c\/strong\u003e 478 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWall thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1390 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-stick coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e None - naturally built layer through use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver \/ Steel Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat sources:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, induction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOven safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, up to 200 °C (max. 10 minutes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher-safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e No - always wash by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePFAS-free:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the package\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDe Buyer Pancake Pan Mineral B Element ø 26 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you believe that the best pancake starts with the right pan - and not with a coating that gives up after two years - then this is your pan.
