## Description

The most "eco" friendly cookware on Earth. This pan is 100-Percent Natural with 99-Percent pure Iron and a Bee Wax Finish to fight against oxidation while helping season the pan. This pan is excellent for Sealing, Browning, and Grilling. The more the pan is used, the better the performance as the chef creates their own non-stick surface. The darker the pan becomes the better it is for natural non-stick properties. This pan has no PTFE or PFOA and has no chemicals added. Environment safe production in France by de Buyer Industries which has been in business for 180 years. Tradition is the key as Mineral Pan is an authentic French design called "Lyonnais" shape with a curved handle "a la Francaise". It is a symbol of French Gastronomy.

Review: Excelente mi sartencito. Me gustó, es elegante, El huevo estrellado sale perfecto, muy bonito. Calentar suficiente para que no se pegue.
Review: I bought this pan MOSTLY because it's just so darn cute and it looked like it would the perfect size for an egg or two. By the way, it IS the perfect size for JUST an egg or two (at the most). You really can't cook much more than two large eggs in the pan and even two eggs are a bit crowded, but they will fit. Raw carbon steel and raw cast iron pans are far superior over any other non-stick pan on the market. I know, this is bold statement, and there are folks out there that would not agree with me, but carbon steel and cast iron pans with not only last a lifetime but can be handed down for generations. I'd like to see another non-stick pan that could come close to that duration. Simply put, there isn't one. Yes, carbon steel and cast irons pans require a little up front work, since they need to be seasoned, but this can be easily accomplished in an oven or on the stove-top. This little pan is no exception, it will require seasoning before it's used. Take the time to learn to season these types of pans. Given a LITTLE bit of patience and time the non-stick properties of a proper seasoning will be better then replacing plastic coated "non-stick" pans over and over and over again. I've seen a few reviews that state this pan is too small to use on gas stove-tops. This simply isn't true. We are using ours quite happily on our gas stove. Having said that, there are probably SOME stoves that this pan is too small for so be careful of that. I'd suggest measuring the diameter of the flame ring on your stove before buying this pan. The outside, bottom of the pan is about 10mm [4 inches]. The flame ring of your burner should be at least bit smaller than this for proper heating. Another comment I've noticed in some reviews is the cooking surface is stamped with a two b's. This is true of my pan as well. I'm not sure why someone at de Buyer thought this would be a good idea, but I agree with the other reviewers that this is less than ideal at best and at worst, a potential area for food to stick. I seasoned my pan any way and sure enough my morning eggs were sticking to that area without fail. I thought of sanding the area to make it flat again, but that damage quite a bit of the seasoning I had just applied a few days before. Instead, I used the "flat" side of a small ball peen hammer and lots of gentle taps to flatten the b's smooth again. This took about 2-3 minutes (5 at the most). Yes, I have to build up the seasoning again but that will happen with regular day to day cooking. Even the third day after flattening the b's the eggs are sticking less. I've been cooking on cast iron and carbon steel pans for many (many) years and I love them. It takes a bit time to make them non-stick, but once this happens you don't have to use special (plastic) utensils to move your food around. Nearly all of my utensils are stainless steel and wood and yes, I use the stainless steel utensils in my pans a LOT. If you want an cute pan for cooking an egg, this one perfect for that. You could probably cook a few small breakfast sausage links or a single sausage patty in this pan, but I haven't tried that yet. If you're thinking of cooking a burger in this pan, I'd be careful of the size burger you intend to cook, but it is possible. This is a great little pan that I would certainly recommend to anyone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hello, Can someone explain the dimensions of this product 4.7 x 2 x 0.8 in? Thanks very much! Cant seem to figure out what the 2 x 0.8 is**
A: 2 is the depth of the pan .(sides ) 0.8 is the thickness of the medal. 0.8 is very good !

**Q: What is the diameter of the flat interior bottom of the 4.7" pan?**
A: The flat interior appears to be approximately 4" in diameter, perhaps slightly more.  The edges do not flare out a great deal.  I use this pan to make eggs.  After seasoning, it is nonstick.  It is a great pan.  You also do not have to fuss with it as much as cast iron.

**Q: what are the instructions for seasoning the pan?**
A: Follow the Mineral B directions for seasoning the pan.  It takes a while to get to "non stick" but it's worth it.

**Q: Is there a lid available?**
A: Not a factory lid but, anything of a similar size will work.
