Review: Quite possibly the worlds most perfect pan... - I had been in the hunt for a healthier alternative to my Teflon coated non-stick pans when I ran into these here on desertcart. I was rather skeptical of the non stick ability many claimed possible with the De Buyer Mineral B pans. Reading the existing reviews, it seemed that all stressed proper seasoning and in between use care. Instead of jumping on the Green Earth or Bialetti pan bandwagon, which seemed to be plagued with poor quality, I decided to read up a bit on the seasoning process. I visited a few forums, watched a few you tube videos and placed my first iron pan order. Though not directly recommended by De Buyer for this particular pan, I followed instructions to boil potato skins for 15-20 minutes before starting the seasoning process. I usually would follow the manufacturers specific instructions but the information for pre-seasoning with the potato skins came from a very respected chef on a popular forum who also fancies the De Buyer product. After the boil process I seasoned my new De Buyer pan with peanut oil using the method dictated on the De Buyer website. The process was completely painless and the pans are better than expected. It has now been several weeks since my first Mineral B fry pan purchase, the 10.2" model. I was so infatuated with the original pan that I have now purchase nearly the entire set of the Mineral B line. They are truly non-stick when seasoned properly. They cook like a dream. They heat up so quickly and when I change the heat setting on my stove they seem to adopt the new temperature much quicker than my previous pans. I had a little trouble getting used to not using soap to wash these; instead rinsing with very hot water and wiping/lightly scrubbing out as necessary. The process is just so different than what I was used to but after doing it for a while I find it easier. If you are the type of person that needs a pan to look perfectly clean and spotless, these are not for you. I say this as the interiors darken with age and they blue a bit on the outside. This keeps them from looking brand new for very long (though I think they look even better as they get more use). If you have trouble following directions or would prefer a "maintenance free" pan, this pan more than likely isn't for you either. They do require a simplified method of maintenance but require salt purifying from time to time and should be oiled after each use (again, painless but a tiny bit more work that the average Teflon pan). Also, these pans and the entire line as a whole are rather heavy. If weight is a concern, these pans are probably out of the question. If however you are looking for a healthier alternative to other non stick pans with durability to boot and don't mind a bit more time in the kitchen, these high quality pans are right up your alley. On another note, I have found my favorite amongst the Mineral B line-up. They are the De Buyer Mineral B Country Chef pans. I bought both the 9.4" ( De Buyer Mineral B Element Country Chef, 9.4" ) and the 12.6" ( De Buyer Mineral B Element Country Chef, 12.6" )versions and they are by far my most used pans of the set. They are similar to a deep wall skillet but with the volume and practicality of a saute. The smaller version works very well in place of a saucepan and the larger is perfect for stir fry dishes and meals for larger groups. Well worth looking into. Enjoy!
Review: Amazing, Great, and Fantastic! - I've been using French enameled cast-iron frying pans for many decades, but I recently decided to try a De Buyer steel skillet after an old Le Creuset started to pit and spall on its cooking surface. I am so glad that I did! I got the smallest 7.9" model as a cheap test. It totally passed! The instructions say to first rinse it in hot water to get rid of any excess beeswax residue. Then you must season the skillet with oil before you use it. I seasoned it once with some flax seed oil to a light brown color, and then I fried my first egg. I was anticipating that the skillet would require several seasonings to build up a non-stick surface, but no! It cooked a perfect over-medium fried egg for me the first time. I have since fried eggs and sausage patties in it, and the seasoning is a nice dark brown now. Compared to my old favorite Le Creuset, this de Buyer Mineral B pan seasoned quicker and weighs much less. It heats up faster and requires less heat than the cast iron to cook the same thing. The quality of its non-stickiness is at least equal to my old favorite, which is to say, about perfect. Cleanup is just as fast and easy, and the price is right, especially compared to French enameled cast iron. The only drawback of this pan is its relatively small size, but I knew that when I bought it. The next size larger would be more practical and useful for most people. Still, for the mornings when I cook breakfast just for myself, this is the pan I use. I still have and love my old 28 cm Staub cast iron pan, but my smaller frying pans are now this one and a 24 cm/9.5" De Buyer Carbone Plus model that I just ordered. These pans ought to last a lifetime or two if properly cared for. If I had the past forty years to do over, I would ditch the cast iron and go with steel skillets like this one.

## 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
