How to season your De Buyer Carbone Plus paella pan
Before using your Carbone Plus paella pan for the first time, we recommend seasoning it twice, as follows:
- Wash the paella pan gently with a soft sponge and a little washing-up liquid, and dry it well.
- Put a generous amount of potato peelings in the pan and cover them with water.
- Turn the heat to medium and let the water boil for about 15-20 minutes. This gives it the organic layer it lacks, since it isn't treated with beeswax.
- Carefully remove the potato peelings and the water, rinse the pan with water and dry it well.
- Pour vegetable oil into the pan and heat it over medium heat until it's very hot and smoking, then leave it on the heat for about 5-10 minutes.
- When it's done, take the pan off the heat and pour off the oil.
- Taking care not to burn yourself, spread the remaining oil over the whole inner surface to stop it from rusting.
Why we love the De Buyer Carbone Plus iron paella pan
- De Buyer iron spreads heat so well across the whole surface that everything cooks beautifully and browns evenly, so you won't find any grains of rice left uncooked.
- It comes in small and large diameters. You can cook anything from 1 or 2 servings up to 12!
- They're built to last. They'll last a lifetime if you look after them.
Note: To cook and rest the rice, you can use the De Buyer universal stainless steel lids for pans or the ILSA stainless steel lids. Both are available in different sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I choose for my induction hob?
The one whose base is closest to the hob ring; it can overhang by about 2 cm. For example, for a 28 cm ring, the 36 cm (27 cm base) or the 40 cm (30 cm base). The size in the name is the top diameter.
How many people is each size for?
24 cm, 2 servings; 28 cm, 3; 32 cm, 4; 36 cm, 6; 40 cm, 8; and 50 cm, 12.
What's the difference from the De Buyer Mineral B paella pan?
Both are uncoated iron. The Mineral B comes with a beeswax coat from the factory and stainless steel handles, and is seasoned once with oil. The Carbone Plus has no wax, has iron handles and needs two seasonings: with potato peelings and with oil. We explain it in detail in the differences between the Mineral B and Carbone Plus paella pans.
Do I need to season it every time?
No. The two seasonings are only done before the first use.
Can it go in the oven? How big is it with the handles?
Yes, with no time or temperature limit, because it's made entirely of iron. With the handles, the 32 cm measures 43 cm; the 40 cm, 46.5 cm; and the 50 cm, 57 cm.
Can I use it on the barbecue, over embers or on a wood fire?
Yes. The base will blacken on the outside, but it won't be damaged.
Why does the rice taste of iron?
It usually happens if the rice sits in the pan for a long time or if the pan isn't properly seasoned yet. Serve the rice as soon as it's done and carry out both seasonings before the first use.
Does it rust?
It can rust if stored damp. Don't leave it to soak, dry it straight away and store it somewhere dry; if rust appears, scrub it off and wipe the pan with oil again.
Do the handles get hot?
Yes, they're iron: use a pot holder.
