Perfect for your blinis and pancakes, the Mineral B De Buyer cast iron pan for blinis will bring you many joys at breakfast, snacks, or any time of the day! In its two mini formats, 12 cm and 14 cm, there will be no pancake that you cannot flip with ease, to the delight of all diners.

More French than Coco Chanel, De Buyer's Mineral B pans are ideal pans for preparing your blinis and pancakes, at home and healthily. Like all Mineral B pans, these cast iron pans are distinguished by:
- Handcrafted from cast iron. Since 1830, De Buyer has been handcrafting these pans, a true emblem of the brand.
- No coatings, no use of chemicals, or heavy metals,
- They are treated with a layer of beeswax that protects the pan.
- They are suitable for all heat sources, including induction.
- You can also use them in the oven (up to 200°C for 10 minutes maximum)
- They are very efficient. You don't need a high heat output to cook wonderfully. Iron retains and maintains a lot of heat, even at medium heat. At medium power, the heat is evenly distributed throughout the pan, making it easier to cook food evenly.
- This great heat retention makes them ideal for cooking blinis in no time, so you can make many more in less time.
- They are very durable. De Buyer Mineral B cast iron pans will last you a lifetime.
In addition to your blinis and pancakes, they are perfect for making a fried egg, or for your individual potato or country-style omelets, or for sautéing small portions of food.
They are mini pans in size but XXL in authenticity and tradition!
Remember that we have a protective cover for the handle of De Buyer cast iron pans, which will help you avoid burning yourself when handling the pan.

Things to Know About De Buyer Mineral B Iron Pans
- De Buyer pans are made in France, and they are the only ones with a purity certificate of over 99% iron. The best!
- They are iron pans, so they can rust. How to prevent it? Avoid prolonged contact with water, don't let them air dry: simply dry them with a cloth after washing. If you want, you can leave them on low heat for a few minutes again to completely remove the moisture while finishing cooking (it's a very easy trick to follow and very useful).
- If you're going to leave them unused for many days, you can apply a little oil and spread it over the surface with a paper towel, but it's not essential.
- Before the first use, it's very interesting to season them. This seasoning makes them more naturally non-stick. Seasoning is super simple to do. Watch the video among the photos to learn how to do it.
- You have a pan for a lifetime! You can scrub it with a soft sponge, or wash it with soap if needed to remove food, and nothing will happen to the pan! (there's no non-stick coating to damage). They can turn black, uniformly or in patches. Don't worry, the blacker they get, the better they will perform.
- If rust spots appear, rub with a paper towel with oil, and you'll see how it magically disappears. If the rusted area is larger, use soap without fear. Nothing will happen; it's a completely iron pan: under the iron layer, there's more iron.
- If you've had to scrub it with soap or if you simply feel like it, you can season it again, but it's not essential to do it regularly.
