A heavy steel, deep French pan traditionally named poêle paysanne — translating literally to peasant or country pan, which indicates the style of cooking this lends itself to. Suited for all types of heat, including open fire and induction. When cared for properly, this carbon steel pan will out-preform any non-stick pan, will last a lifetime, and only improve with age. This pan will not release any harmful chemicals or plastics into your food, and will self-repair if scratched. The silver steel present upon purchase will bloom into a deep black when oil polymerises into the pan during the process of seasoning, creating a fully natural, non-stick coating. Made in, France by de Buyer, who have been making similar pans in the Val-d'Ajo region since 1830. A signature, ‘Mineral B’, beeswax coating is present on the pan for protection and initial seasoning. The pan measures 28cm in diameter with a depth of about 9cm.
