De Buyer iron frying pan with natural non-stick properties
This De Buyer Mineral B Element iron frying pan in 36 cm is made from pure carbon steel, offering superior heat distribution and durability. With its classic Lyonnaise shape featuring high, curved sides and a solid steel handle, the pan is designed to deliver professional results in the home kitchen. It is pre-seasoned with organic beeswax, which protects against rust and kick-starts the natural non-stick effect.
Ideal for intense searing of meat, browning vegetables, crisping fish and anything that demands precise heat control and a surface that only gets better with use.
Natural non-stick that develops over time
Unlike pans with artificial coatings, this iron pan gradually builds up its own natural non-stick surface through use and correct maintenance. The more you use it, the better it performs. The dark patina that forms over time acts as both a protective layer and an improvement to the pan's cooking properties. Made from pure carbon steel with no synthetic materials, it can last for generations with proper care.
Professional heat distribution and control
With its substantial construction weighing 3.5 kg and a base diameter of 275 mm, the pan distributes heat evenly and efficiently. It withstands extreme temperatures without warping, making it perfect for searing meat and locking in juices and flavour. The pan works on all heat sources, including induction, allowing you to achieve professional results whether you are making a simple omelette or a complex sauce.
Technical specifications and care
With a total diameter of 36 cm, a height of 50 mm and a capacity of 2.85 litres, this pan is well suited to both everyday cooking and larger servings. The 715 mm handle provides excellent balance and safe handling. The pan is not dishwasher safe – instead, rinse it with warm water, dry it thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil after use to protect and maintain the natural non-stick surface.

Frequently asked questions
How do I season my iron pan for the first time?
Wash the pan in warm water without soap, dry it thoroughly and heat it slowly. Apply a thin layer of neutral oil, heat to smoking point, allow to cool and repeat the process 2–3 times.
Why does my iron pan change colour over time?
The colour change is a natural patina that develops through use. This patina protects the pan against rust and improves its non-stick properties.
