Why choose MINERAL B for your stove
- Natural carbon steel delivers fast, even heating and highly responsive control for searing, sautéing, and reheating.
- Free from PFAS, PFOA, and PFOS, with no chemical coatings on the cooking surface.
- Lightweight relative to traditional cast iron, yet durable enough for everyday use.
- Produces a natural non-stick patina after seasoning, reducing the need for excessive fats over time.

Seasoning, care, and daily use
- Seasoning begins with removing the beeswax coating, then gradually heating and applying a thin oil to coat the bottom and sides.
- Hand wash only to protect the seasoned surface; avoid harsh soaps that can strip the patina.
- Reheating after seasoning helps reinforce the protective layer; store with care to maintain the finish.
- Begin with medium-high heat and adjust as you cook to build flavor and color on foods.
