Expert Review and Insights
When you get your hands on a De Buyer pan, you immediately feel the difference. It's not lightweight and disposable; it has a reassuring heft and a sense of purpose.

It's a true chef's tool that rewards a bit of care with incredible performance.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →
- Pro: Unbeatable heat retention means consistent results across every single blini.
- Con: The essential seasoning process requires initial effort unlike pre-coated pans.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth, Cornwall, was struggling with consistency for its popular smoked mackerel blini starter. Their consumer-grade non-stick pans were warping under the heat of a busy service and needed replacing every few months.
"We switched our entire line to De Buyer Mineral B pans, including these 14cm blini pans. The difference was immediate. They hold their heat beautifully, the blinis slide right off, and they feel like they'll last forever. Our chefs are happier and the consistency is spot on."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The switch completely eliminated their pan replacement budget for the year and improved the kitchen's workflow during peak service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, scrub the pan with very hot water and a sponge to remove the protective beeswax coating.
- Dry it immediately, then perform the initial seasoning: heat one centimetre of oil in the pan for 5 minutes until it smokes, then discard the oil.
- Wipe the inside with a paper towel. It's now seasoned and ready for cooking.
Keeping It Going
- After cooking, deglaze the hot pan with water and wipe clean while still warm.
- Never use washing-up liquid or a dishwasher, as this will strip the seasoning.
- Always dry the pan thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil with a paper towel before storing.
- Store in a dry place to prevent any risk of rust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this pan ready to use out of the box?
A: No, it is protected by a beeswax coating that must be washed off. You must then season the pan before its first use for it to perform correctly.
Q: Can I use this on my home induction hob?
A: Absolutely. This pan is suitable for all heat sources, including induction, making it perfect for both professional and domestic kitchens.
Q: Why can't I use soap or put it in the dishwasher?
A: Soaps and dishwasher detergents will strip away the natural non-stick seasoning layer that you build up over time, effectively taking it back to square one.
Q: What is the pan made from?
A: It's made from 99% iron carbon steel, a material prized by chefs for its heat conductivity and durability.
Q: What should I do if my pan starts to rust?
A: Don't worry, it's easily fixed. Simply scrub the rust off with steel wool, wash the pan thoroughly, and then re-season it from scratch.
Q: Can I use metal utensils on this pan?
A: Yes, once seasoned, the surface is incredibly tough. Metal utensils are fine and won't damage the pan like they would a chemical non-stick coating.
Q: Is the handle oven-safe?
A: Yes, the entire pan is made of steel, so it can be used in the oven without any issues.
Q: What exactly is 'Mineral B'?
A: 'Mineral B Element' is De Buyer's name for the protective organic beeswax finish applied at the factory. It protects the pan from oxidation before you receive it.

Since 1830, De Buyer has been crafting tools for professionals who refuse to compromise on quality.

Often, the phrase 'requires seasoning' can sound like a chore, but it's actually this pan's greatest strength. Seasoning is the simple process of bonding oil to the carbon steel, creating an incredibly tough, all-natural non-stick surface. Think of it like breaking in a high-quality pair of leather walking boots; they take a little effort to begin with, but they mould perfectly to you and become far more comfortable and durable than any off-the-shelf alternative. Each time you cook with oil, you're strengthening that layer, meaning this 14cm carbon steel blini pan doesn't just last, it genuinely gets better and more non-stick with every single use.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bistros & Restaurants: Ideal for crafting consistent, high-quality appetisers and signature blini dishes that keep customers coming back.
- Event Caterers: A durable and reliable tool for on-site cooking, offering dependable performance for large-scale canapé production.
- Luxury Hotels: Perfect for the breakfast service, room service eggs, or creating elegant canapés for functions and events.
- Cocktail Bars & Pubs: An excellent addition for any establishment looking to elevate its bar snack and appetiser menu with minimal fuss.
