de Buyer Mineral B Element Plancha smooth, 38x26 cm 5640.01

This de Buyer Mineral B Element Plancha is a special pan at a very reasonable price. It is made of carbon steel. This type of steel is not stainless. That might seem like a drawback, but can work as an advantage through careful use. The pan is solid and heavy. It has no non-stick coating, but one will form automatically as you use the pan. Because the pan has no non-stick coating, it can withstand very high temperatures. Also, you can use steel cookware without worrying about damaging the non-stick coating. These Mineral B Element pans have a thin layer of beeswax on the cooking surface upon delivery. This significantly reduces the chance of corrosion upon delivery. It also helps to flavour the seasoning of the pan, In addition, this makes the pan slightly more resistant from the start to sticking than the regular Acier Carbone series. It is suitable for all heat sources, including induction and oven use. Do keep in mind that the handle of this pan gets hot! Only wash this pan with hot water and a brush. Soap is out of the question and a dishwasher will cause irreparable damage to the pan. These pans require special treatment, but when used correctly, they are a pleasure to work with.
