Care Instructions

Seasoning:

  • Prepare your frying pan by cleaning with very hot water, then dry it thoroughly
  • Pour one centimeter of cooking oil into the pan, and wipe it around. Then heat it on the stove on a medium-high temperature for about 5 minutes
  • Throw away the oil and wipe your pan with paper towels
  • The more the pan is used, the better the performance; the darker it becomes the better it is for natural nonstick properties

Use:

  • Heat a small amount of oil or fat in the frying pan, and once the pan is good and hot, seal the food about 45 seconds on each side before reducing the heat to complete cooking
  • Do not leave the meals in the pan after cooking, as the residual heat will carry on cooking your food

Cleaning after use:

  • Wash the frying pan with very hot water and a sponge, and wipe dry
  • From time to time, purify the pan by heating up cooking salt over a high heat for about 1.5 minutes, then wipe with a kitchen paper. The salt helps to suppress the residues and the odours from previous cookings
  • To store, wipe oil over the surface with a paper towel and put away in a dry place
  • Do not leave your pan to soak. If food sticks to the pan, use a green sponge to scrub it off, and re-season the area
  • Never put the pan in a dishwasher. The pan may rust if these conditions are not respected. Just scrub the pan with a hard brush to remove the rust, and season from scratch

If you've grown tired of grey steaks and watery bacon cooked (boiled, actually) in non-stick pans, then this is the way to go. Finally you will own a pan that you can get properly hot. Your recipe's instructions to "brown" the meat (onions / chicken livers / whatever) will no longer seem to be a sad joke. I am very happy with this purchase.

Best Pan Ever

Item reviewed:

Review by Antony C. on 7 January 2014, 16 days after purchase

Verified Owner

This is the best pan I have ever used. After many years of use/abuse my old non-stick coated pan was no longer so non-stick any more. After a bit of research I came to conclusion that this pan was the way to go. After a bit of seasoning NOTHING sticks to this and if looked after, I will be handing this down to my son. Now all I need is the smaller one as it is quite heavy and my wife can't use it. Read more

This pan is heavy, but thankfully I rarely pick it up because it lives on the stove! I cook absolutely everything in it: meat, veg, sauces, eggs. Even though it's not nonstick, cleaning it is super easy. It delivers a perfect sear to meat, carmelizes well and warms quickly and evenly. The generous size means you can make a whole dinner or breakfast in one go. I've yet to mess up any meal cooked in Read more

Review by Nicus D. on 26 September 2017, 14 days after purchase

Verified Owner

I bought the 32cm pan, excellent build quality and steel thickness like the other Mineral Bs I own. It has a "helper handle" riveted to the pan, which helps when picking it up. It weighs as much as a similar sized cast iron pan so it is a heavy beast:) Being so large it does tend to have a "hot spot" in the middle of the pan when cooking.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
