xDiscover the MINERAL B Carbon Steel Fry Pan
The MINERAL B Fry Pan blends a natural material with modern performance. Made from carbon steel, it heats rapidly and distributes heat evenly, giving you precise control when searing, sautéing, reheating, or frying eggs. It is a kitchen staple that professional chefs and home cooks rely on for responsiveness and a classic feel.
Natural, chemical-free performance
Unlike pans with synthetic coatings, this pan is designed without PFAS, PFOA, PFOS or other chemicals. It becomes naturally non-stick after seasoning, with a patina that develops as you cook, offering a reliable surface over time.
How to season and care for your pan
Seasoning is straightforward: remove the beeswax coating, dry thoroughly, then apply a thin layer of oil. Heat gently until the surface begins to smoke, then let cool and wipe clean. Regular heating and oil maintenance helps maintain the patina.
- Seasoning builds a durable, natural non-stick layer through controlled heating.
- Care tips: hand wash and avoid harsh soaps that can strip seasoning.
Practical uses and kitchen versatility
This pan works across cooking surfaces, including induction, and is oven-safe for brief periods up to 400F. Its lighter weight compared to cast iron and its quick heat response make it a versatile choice for busy weeknights and weekend experimentation.
- Searing: achieve crusts with precise high-heat control.
- Sautéing: vibrant vegetables with minimal oil.
- Reheating: even warmth helps preserve texture and moisture.
- Eggs and delicate dishes: easy release after proper seasoning.
