de Buyer Mineral B iron frying pan – natural non-stick built to last for decades
The de Buyer Mineral B iron frying pan in Ø24 cm is made from pure carbon steel with a thickness that ensures optimal heat distribution and durability. The pan features the classic French "Lyonnaise" shape with high, gently curved sides that make it easy to turn food and serve directly from the pan. It is pre-seasoned with organic beeswax, which both protects against rust and helps kick-start the natural non-stick effect.
Ideal for intense frying of meat, fish and vegetables where you want a perfect sear and a crispy surface, whilst retaining juices and flavour.
Natural non-stick that gets better with use
Unlike pans with artificial coatings, this iron pan develops a natural non-stick surface through use and correct maintenance. The more you use it, the better it becomes. The dark patina that gradually forms not only protects the iron but also improves the pan's cooking properties — free from chemical coatings that can wear away over time.
Professional heat response and durability
The carbon steel in this pan responds quickly to temperature changes and withstands extreme heat without warping. With a base diameter of 175 mm and a weight of 1.4 kg, the pan has the right heft to maintain a stable temperature whilst remaining manageable. The long, solid steel handle is secured with rivets for maximum durability and ensures the pan can be used on all heat sources – including induction. With correct maintenance, this pan will last not just for years, but for generations.
Technical specifications
The pan measures 440 mm in length (including the handle) with a diameter of 240 mm and a height of 35 mm. It weighs 1.4 kg, providing a good balance between manoeuvrability and heat capacity. The pan is not dishwasher safe – instead, rinse it with warm water, dry it immediately and apply a light coating of oil to preserve and improve the natural non-stick effect.
With the de Buyer Mineral B iron frying pan you get:
- Excellent heat distribution and capacity for perfect frying
- Natural non-stick surface that improves with use

Frequently asked questions
How do I season my iron pan for the first time?
Wash the pan thoroughly with warm water (without soap), dry it, heat it on the hob and spread a thin layer of neutral oil over the entire inner surface. Leave the pan on the heat for 5–10 minutes and wipe off any excess oil.
Why does my iron pan become rough or uneven over time?
This is completely normal. The dark patina that forms through use can vary in texture. This does not affect the pan's functionality – on the contrary, it improves its non-stick properties.
