Non-stick coating is created during use
No coating, so the pan gets better with every use
Bake a full batch of poffertjes or mini blinis at once
Made in France, with a lifetime warranty
Sunday morning ritual upgraded: forget failed poffertjes from a non-stick pan that shows scratches after two years. With the De Buyer Poffertjes Pan Mineral B Element ø 27 cm, you can bake sixteen perfect poffertjes at once - golden brown, fluffy, and with that crispy edge everyone desires. This is the pan you'll keep forever.
Why this poffertjes pan is different
Most poffertjes pans are made from cast aluminium with a non-stick coating that wears off over time. De Buyer takes a different approach: carbon steel. The same material choice used by professional chefs in bistros and Michelin-starred restaurants. No flaking coating, no PTFE, no PFAS - just a pan that gets better with each use. That's not a sales pitch, that's chemistry.
- Sixteen poffertjes at once - Pockets with a diameter of 4 cm, ideal for classic poffertjes, mini blinis, or Danish æbleskiver
- Carbon steel heats up rapidly - Even heat distribution across all pockets, so every poffertje is cooked at the same time
- Improves with use - The more you bake, the stronger the natural patina becomes
- Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, induction, and the oven - this pan fits everywhere
- Made in France - With a lifetime guarantee against material and manufacturing defects
- Free from PFAS and PTFE - No chemical coating, just honest steel that proves itself
Seasoning: the beginning of a long story
Before you bake your first poffertjes, you need to season the pan. It sounds more complicated than it is. You rub the pan with a thin layer of oil, heat it over medium heat until the oil smokes, and let it cool down. Repeat this a few times. What happens then: the carbon steel absorbs the oil and forms a hard, smooth patina that makes your poffertjes release more easily. From that moment on, baking becomes easier each time, and the pan becomes more user-friendly.
The pan is protected with a layer of beeswax to prevent oxidation during transport. Rinse this off with warm water before use - then you're ready to season. It's that simple.
Maintenance made easy
Carbon steel is not dishwasher safe - but that's not a disadvantage, it's a conscious choice. After use, rinse the pan with warm water and a soft brush, dry it immediately, and rub it lightly with a bit of oil. Done. It takes you less than a minute and extends the lifespan of the pan by decades. Compare that to replacing a non-stick pan every year.
De Buyer has been making these pans in France for generations - with craftsmanship you can feel as soon as you hold the pan. The weight of 1130 grams feels solid and well thought out, not heavy to handle. The total length of 478 mm gives you enough grip to easily turn and flip the pan.
💡 Cookinglife Tip: Bake your poffertjes with clarified butter instead of regular butter. Clarified butter doesn't burn, gives a nicer colour, and helps the poffertjes release more easily - especially when the patina of your pan is still developing. After a few baking sessions, you'll notice you need less butter each time.
Not just for poffertjes
The De Buyer Mineral B poffertjes pan is more versatile than the name suggests. Use it for mini blinis with crème fraîche and salmon as a snack. Make Danish æbleskiver during the holidays - filled with apple compote or chocolate. Bake small egg bites for an extensive breakfast. Or serve mini pancakes as dessert with fresh strawberries and cream. One pan, endless delicious possibilities.
And because the pan is oven-safe, you can also use it to gratin small dishes or keep them warm while serving. Handy when cooking for a larger group and wanting to serve everything at once.
