This de Buyer frying pan is an ideal pan for preparing perfect dishes. The pan is made of sheet steel, which heats up quickly and can withstand high temperatures. The de Buyer pans contain a high carbon content. This allows the pans to last a lifetime, provided you take good care of them. Like all de Buyer pans, the pan must be seasoned first. Read below how to do this best.

Before you can use a de Buyer steel pan, you must first season it to create a non-stick layer. To season the pan, you need a type of oil, but olive oil does not work well as it cannot withstand high temperatures. Place the pan on the stove and heat it on low heat. Pour a generous amount of oil into the pan and let it heat up well. When the oil starts to smoke, turn off the heat and let the pan cool down. Then wipe off the excess oil from the pan with kitchen paper. Now your de Buyer pan is ready for use!
