Blue steel French Crêpe pan, 20cm

A French traditional blue steel, professional style crêpe pan, with a low angled edge for easy flipping. Properly seasoned and prepared, these pans will out-perform any non-stick or stainless pan, and with care, will last more than a lifetime. In seasoning, the steel of the pan bonds to polymerised oil forming a deep brown to black surface that acts as a natural non-stick coating, one that does not peel if over heated (arguably it improves), self repairs if scratched (say by metal tools), will not release novel chemicals into your food, or for that matter poison birds. Made in Val-d'Ajol, France by de Buyer, who have been making similar pans in that region since 1830.
