Expert Review and Insights
"The De Buyer Mineral B line is legendary for a reason. This grill pan is no exception; it’s hefty, honest, and built for pure performance. The heat retention is second to none, giving you a sear that you just can't replicate with lighter pans. It’s a tool that asks for a little care upfront but repays you tenfold in results and longevity."

- Pro: Unbeatable heat retention delivers an incredible, deep sear every time.
- Consideration: The initial seasoning process requires time and patience to get right.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Forge Bistro in Sheffield was struggling with non-stick pans that warped and lost their coating under the pressure of a busy service. They needed a more durable solution that could handle high heat and deliver consistent results for their signature grilled dishes.
"We switched to the De Buyer Mineral B pans six months ago and the difference is night and day. They hold their heat brilliantly, the sear on our steaks is incredible, and we're not throwing away damaged pans anymore. They've become an essential part of our kitchen."
Ben Carter – Head Chef, The Forge Bistro
The investment led to a noticeable improvement in food quality and a projected 60% reduction in annual pan replacement costs.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- First, scrub the pan with very hot water to remove the protective beeswax coating from the factory.
- Dry it completely, then place it on a high heat.
- Pour a tiny amount of high-smoke-point oil (like sunflower or grapeseed) into the pan and wipe it all over with a paper towel to leave a very thin film.
- Heat the pan until the oil starts to smoke, then let it cool. Repeat this process 2-3 times for a great starting layer.
Keeping It Going
- After cooking, clean the pan while it's still warm using hot water and a stiff brush or sponge.
- Avoid using washing-up liquid as it will strip away your hard-earned seasoning.
- Dry the pan immediately and thoroughly on the hob for a minute to evaporate any remaining moisture.
- Wipe a very thin layer of oil inside before storing to protect it from humidity and rust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this De Buyer 26cm grill pan on an induction hob?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Mineral B range is made from iron, making it perfectly compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, and electric.
Q: Why is my food sticking to the new pan?
A: If your pan is new, it's a sign that the initial seasoning wasn't quite complete. If it's an older pan, the seasoning may have been partially stripped. In both cases, a good clean and another round of seasoning will solve it.
Q: Is it safe to use metal utensils on this pan?
A: Yes, once properly seasoned, the surface is incredibly tough. Metal utensils are fine and won't damage it like they would a chemical non-stick coating.
Q: Can I put this pan in the dishwasher?
A: Absolutely not. Dishwasher detergents are harsh and will completely strip the seasoning, leaving the pan vulnerable to rust.
Q: What is the best oil to use for seasoning?
A: Any cooking oil with a high smoke point is ideal. Grapeseed, canola, or sunflower oil are all excellent choices.
Q: My pan is starting to look patchy and black. Is that normal?
A: Yes, that's a great sign! It means you're successfully building up the layers of seasoning. Over time, a well-used pan will become almost completely black and beautifully non-stick.
Q: How do I remove rust if it appears?
A: Don't panic! Simply scrub the rust off with a scouring pad and some oil, wash the pan thoroughly, and then re-season it from scratch. It will be as good as new.
Q: What is the beeswax coating for?
A: De Buyer applies a thin layer of natural beeswax at the factory to protect the pan from moisture and rust during shipping and storage. It must be washed off completely with hot water before you begin seasoning.
The De Buyer Legacy: An Investment in Your Craft
With a history stretching back to 1830, De Buyer isn't just a brand; it's a standard-bearer for French culinary excellence. Choosing a Mineral B pan is about more than its technical stats; it's about investing in a piece of equipment that respects the craft of cooking. This isn't a disposable, throwaway item. It's a long-term partner in your kitchen that, with care, will outlast and outperform countless coated pans. This philosophy reduces waste and running costs, making it a savvy choice for any professional establishment. The reliability of a De Buyer professional grill pan means consistent results, service after service, removing the guesswork and allowing chefs to focus on what they do best: creating exceptional food. It becomes a trusted tool, one that builds its own character right alongside the chef who wields it.
Explore more from De BuyerThe Magic of Seasoning: Building a Pan for Life
When we say this pan 'requires seasoning', what does that actually mean? Think of it less as a chore and more like personalising your most important tool. Seasoning is the simple process of bonding a micro-thin layer of oil to the iron. When heated, the oil polymerises, creating an incredibly tough, natural, non-stick surface that's part of the pan itself.
It's a bit like curing a cast-iron skillet or waxing a surfboard. You're preparing the surface for peak performance. Unlike a factory-applied chemical coating that can scratch and degrade, your seasoned surface can be maintained and renewed forever. With every use, you're not wearing it out; you're actually improving it, adding another layer to its history and performance.
