Review: Requires some maintenance but will last several lifetimes. - This De Buyer 32cm mineral B element frying pan is a beast. Big enough to fit 2 or more good size steaks. As you can see the seasoning is coming on alright though it's gone a bit patchy round the edges but this doesn't bother me too much. I've found it difficult to get even heating of the pan for seasoning due to having electric stove top which I cannot do anything about as it is a rented property. When I've got my own kitchen and gas burner I'll strip the pan and reseason properly but for now it is great for what I need. The quality of this pan is second to none, it will last a lifetime. I re-season and clean off food debris after every use (propped pan maintenance) the more I use it the better the seasoning get. Sears meat like a dream. I love this pan but it is VERY heavy so I think the 28 cm may be a little more manageable for most. When I have the money I will be getting on along with the crep pan. The addition of the handle on the other side of the pan is extremely useful because of the weight. The handle can get quite warm/hot so use an oven glove or cloth to hold handle after it's been on the heat for a while. The flavour this pan adds to meat is amazing. What more can I say?? Bare in mind before cooking in this you need to wash and scrub it thoroughly in very hot water with a little dish soap to get as much of the bees wax off as possible, dry thoroughly then stick it on the heat. Leave it on the heat for a good long while. You are looking for the whole of the pan to go from a dark almost burnt colour to an almost bluish gun metal grey. Take it off the heat briefly, put some suitable oil in the pan (flax seed or canola oil, anything with a high smoke point or dry burning not olive oil). A few ml deep to cover the bottom should be enough, swish it all over the sides (this creates A LOT of smoke) pour out this oil and with a lint free cloth or kitchen towel wipe the oil all over the pan inside and out. You are aiming to wipe off pretty much all of the oil so there is just a light shine and it isn't dripping or pooling in the pan. You can either put it back on the heat or stick it in a pre heated oven and bake it for a couple of hours, if doing in the oven after a couple of hours turn oven off and let it cool down with the pan still I side. It's something to do with the changing of the metal and oil properties from hot to cold that causes a sort of bonding effect to the surface of the plan (science is awesome look it up). If you have the 32 cm pan you will need a big oven, I cannot fit mine in as it is too big for the oven. Repeat this process (ideally up to 10 or 11 times so it's all black all over but a few times and you should be good to start cooking on as this will also add to the seasoning process. The more you use it the better it gets. Once seasoned don't wash with soap. If needed a little warm hot water and a pan brush also sold here or something that won't scratch the seasoning/pan a plastic scrubber side of a sponge should work fine. This will get food debris off. When finished dry thoroughly put back on the heat to get to temperature and add a thin layer of oil for protection/ continued seasoning. Look after this pan and your children's children will be handing it down to their children as an heirloom. Review: Excellent pan - Having checked out some YouTube vids for the De Buyer Mineral B, it appears there is no better. Great seller, good price. Arrived in it's classic brown paper bag and I spent about 1 exciting hour giving it an initial clean and season. This is the beauty of the pan, it is a reflection of how you treat it. It is like a piece of fine furniture. With the additional handle it is not too heavy but big enough to fry 5/6 eggs at the same time. No sticking at all, for anything. Cleaning is simply a wipe with a piece of kitchen roll. Because I had not properly seasoned initially I smelt a bit of rust so just re-seasoned and all perfect. The only down side is, it sort of encourages you to fry a lot because it is so nice to use. Absolutely love it and what I have come to expect from French kitchenware. ## Features - Mineral B Element pan: iron is a 100% natural mineral material - Anti-oxidation protection - Favoured seasoning - Improved non-stick qualities - Organic beeswax-based protective finish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Item diameter | 32 Centimetres | | Item thickness | 3 Millimetres | | Specific uses | hot oil cooking, stovetop cooking, creating sauces and sautéed dishes | | Item volume | 2.7 Litres | | Fabric Type | Steel | | Anti-Tick Material | Carbon Steel | | Finish types | Non-stick coating | | Care instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Dishwasher safe? | No | | Is assembly required | No | | Number of pieces | 1 | | Batteries required | No | | Included components | Frypan | | Item weight | 2.88 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DE BUYER - **Capacity:** 2.7 litres - **Colour:** Silver - **Material:** Cast Iron - **Special feature:** Induction Stovetop Compatible ## Images ![5610.32 Mineral B Element Round Frying Pan, 32 cm Diameter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mXAtDoqLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: how to season the pan** A: Seasoning is creating an EPOXIDE layer. 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Requires some maintenance but will last several lifetimes. *by J***G on 27 May 2018* This De Buyer 32cm mineral B element frying pan is a beast.

But excellent. *by W***L on 13 November 2021* This product is really well made, and does exactly what I wanted it to do. I started with 3 sets of 8 reps, mainly bicep curls and shoulder lifts, then I progressed to bench presses and side raises. Now, just 3 weeks in, I’m doing 4 sets of 12 reps and my muscle mass and body tone have improved significantly. I had considered pro-grade barbells at 50kg each but they’d have been far too easy compared to this. Oh and it’s really good for cooking food in, seals meat and other foods perfectly, and has a perfect non-stick surface once it’s properly seasoned. Definitely recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - de Buyer MINERAL B Carbon Steel Fry Pan - 12.5” - Ideal for Searing, Sauteing & Reheating - Naturally Nonstick - Made in France - DE BUYER 1830 Mineral B Element Series 4636.00 Neoprene Grip Protector 20 cm Length Neoprene - De Buyer 5610.26A Mineral B Frying Pan, 10.2 Inch, Silver-Grey --- ## 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.hr/products/66430055-5610-32-mineral-b-element-round-frying-pan-32-cm](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/66430055-5610-32-mineral-b-element-round-frying-pan-32-cm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
