The pan isn't hot enough, the moisture has nowhere to go, and your steak is stewing instead of grilling. Frustrating. Never again. With the \u003cstrong\u003eDe Buyer Steak Pan Mineral B Element - ø 28 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, you sear meat as it should be - at high temperatures, with a crust that crackles and a heart that remains juicy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this pan makes a difference for your steak\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a pan with a chemical layer that you have to treat carefully after two years. This is pure carbon steel - 3 mm thick, made in France, and designed to last for decades. De Buyer has been making pans for professional chefs and serious home cooks since 1830. The Mineral B series is their answer to the question: what do you use when you really want to fry?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect crust, guaranteed\u003c\/strong\u003e - The low rim (only 30 mm) allows moisture to escape rapidly. No steamed steak, but a deep brown, crispy crust as it should be.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe more you cook, the better it gets\u003c\/strong\u003e - No wearing non-stick coating, but a pan that performs better with each use. The natural patina that builds up is your best cooking layer ever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure steel, zero chemicals\u003c\/strong\u003e - No PFAS, no PTFE, no synthetic coating. Just steel and a thin layer of beeswax for protection. That's it. So simple, so good.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for all heat sources\u003c\/strong\u003e - Gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction. This pan fits on any stove in any kitchen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for 5 to 6 people\u003c\/strong\u003e - With ø 28 cm, you can cook multiple steaks at once, without crowding in the pan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbon steel: the silent hero of the professional kitchen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon steel is what restaurant kitchens have been using for centuries - and not without reason. The material heats up quickly and evenly, retains heat excellently, and can take a beating. That 3 mm thickness of the Mineral B ensures a stable bottom temperature: when you place that meat in, the pan doesn't drop in temperature. That's exactly what you need for that perfect Maillard reaction - the chemical magic behind every brown, flavourful crust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low rim is not a detail, it's a design choice. With a high rim, steam collects around the meat. With this steak pan, that moisture disappears immediately. The result: dry, intensely cooked meat with texture and flavour that stays with you for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSeasoning and maintenance: do it right once, benefit for years\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you need to season this pan before first use. That sounds like work - and it is, just for a moment. But it's the most rewarding cooking ritual you'll ever perform. Heat the pan over medium heat, rub it with a thin layer of oil with a high smoke point (peanut oil or sunflower oil work well), let it smoke and cool down. Repeat this two to three times. After that session, the pan begins to build its own non-stick patina - and it only gets better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter use, wash it by hand with warm water and possibly a bit of soap. Dry it immediately - carbon steel and prolonged moisture are not friends. Lightly rub it with oil before storing. Simple, and with a bit of discipline, you have a pan that your children can still use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe beeswax layer that the pan comes with protects it during transport and storage. That disappears during the first seasoning - that's normal and exactly the intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNeed to use it in the oven? No problem\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThick ribeye or entrecôte that you first sear and then let rest in the oven? Perfect. The Mineral B is oven safe up to 200 °C, for a maximum of 10 minutes. Ideal for that technique where you brown on the outside and finish at the right temperature inside. Do keep in mind: the handle also gets hot in the oven, so always have an oven glove handy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e💡 \u003cstrong\u003eCookinglife Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always let your steak come to room temperature before placing it in the pan - at least 20 to 30 minutes out of the fridge. A cold steak lowers the pan temperature too quickly, and that's exactly what you want to avoid. And don't use oil in the pan itself - oil the meat instead. This prevents the oil from burning before the meat is cooked.\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 Steak pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280 mm (ø 28 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1700 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 - natural patina build-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePFAS-free:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver (natural steel)\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\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 6 people\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 Steak Pan Mineral B Element - ø 28 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you ever want to truly understand why professional chefs dislike cheap coated pans - use this pan once for a steak.
