Mineral B Frying Pan, 24cm
De Buyer · £46
Worth being NRY provisional
Carbon steel at £45.99, and the pan most professional kitchens actually use: it arrives raw, you season it yourself, and after that it is effectively non-stick for decades rather than years. The work is real, because it rusts if left wet, it is not dishwasher safe, and the first month is a negotiation. Nothing else here costs so little and lasts so long.
- For
- Someone who will season a pan and dry it, and wants one frying pan for the next thirty years.
- Not for
- Anyone who wants to put a pan in a dishwasher, or cook acidic sauces in it.
What we checked
- De Buyer aim it at searing and everyday frying, with a natural coating. Sous Chef
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
