De Buyer Mineral B Element Paella-pan 32 Cm 5652.32

This de Buyer Mineral B Element paella pan 32 cm 5652.32 is a special pan at a very reasonable price. With its two sturdy handles and low, wide shape, this pan is perfectly suited to making a delicious home-made paella. The pan is made of carbon steel. This type of steel is not stainless. That might seem like a drawback, but can work as an advantage through careful use. The pan is solid and heavy. It has no non-stick coating, but one will form automatically as you use the pan. As well as optimal heat conduction, the non-stick coating prevents the paella from sticking to the pan. Because the pan has no non-stick coating, it can withstand very high temperatures. Also, you can use steel cookware without worrying about damaging the non-stick coating. These Mineral B Element pans have a thin layer of beeswax on the cooking surface upon delivery. This significantly reduces the chance of corrosion upon delivery. It also helps to flavour the seasoning of the pan, and makes the pan slightly more non-stick than the regular Acier Carbone series, right from the start. It is suitable for all heat sources, including induction and oven use. Do keep in mind that the handle of this pan gets hot! Only wash this pan with hot water and a brush. Soap is out of the question, and a dishwasher will do irreparable damage to the pan. These pans require special treatment, but when used correctly, they are a pleasure to work with.
