De Buyer Iron Chestnut Pans with Side Ventilation for Gas, Glas Ceramic or Induction Hobs

The De Buyer chestnut pan is a pan made of perforated steel (still, it is an induction-compatible pan), in which besides roasting chestnuts you can do much more. This iron pan with side holes is designed to roast chestnuts at home with any type of stove: gas, ceramic, or induction. With side ventilation to improve heat circulation, measuring 28 cm in diameter and a specially designed base for toasting, you will achieve a chestnut roasting process that leaves them perfect. And you can also use it for roasting nuts, oats, and seeds!

It is a pan for life, made of blue iron. Unlike others, it comes factory-seasoned to prevent rust, and does NOT require any additional seasoning. Also, since it is designed simply to toast dry foods in all cases (whether chestnuts, nuts, or others), it is not meant to be washed... just after roasting, wipe it with a dry cloth and store it protected until next use.

As French as La Marseillaise, De Buyer iron pans are eco-friendly, recyclable, and built to last a lifetime. It is an iron pan that will last you forever, and you can make the most of it both on the stove and on the fireplace and barbecue.

1. Handcrafted in iron,
2. Free of heavy metals.
3. Suitable for all heat sources including induction.
4. Suitable for use on the fireplace and barbecue.

Notes:

• Being made of blue iron mineral, they come with a special factory treatment to protect them from oxidation, and unlike Mineral B pans, these chestnut pans no seasoning required.
• When you receive it at home, wipe it with a dry cloth to remove any factory dust, and it’s ready to use!
• You don’t have to wash it after use; when it’s cool, wipe it with a dry cloth and you can store it until next use (you don’t cook in it, you only roast chestnuts or nuts that won’t dirty the pan, so you won’t need to wash it as such).
• If you want to know how to roast nuts in the pan, I encourage you to check out this post.

What you can use the chestnut roasting pan for:

• To roast chestnuts
• Since the perforations are small and on the sides, you can use the pan all year round for toasting nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews...), seeds (sunflower, pumpkin...), dried coconut, muesli, or oats... Avoiding having to turn on the oven for that toasting.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

This pan can be used to roast chestnuts on induction as long as it is not used at maximum induction power (which is not necessary for roasting chestnuts, as they need their time to roast properly). In the instructions, De Buyer does not indicate it is induction-compatible because it does not have the thickness of the Mineral pans, so it could deform if used at maximum power on that heat source.

Remember we have a handle protective cover for De Buyer iron pans, which will help you avoid burning yourself when handling the pan.

Why we like the De Buyer chestnut roasting pan

1. We love kitchen tools that serve to do things the way they used to be done. Raise your hand if you don’t love freshly roasted chestnuts, imagine the aroma.
2. If you have an induction stove, this is one of the only pans you can use to roast chestnuts, as other similar options are not induction-compatible.
3. An iron pan lasts a lifetime if well cared for. It’s an investment.
4. It’s also ideal for toasting nuts, dried coconut, seeds like pumpkin seeds, oats...
