3. With use, they acquire a patina that makes them non-stick in a natural way .

What is the difference between the Mineral B and Carbone Plus De Buyer crepe makers?

• Carbone Plus crepe makers are not treated with natural beeswax , so they leave the factory without the coating that protects them until they are received. Mineral B crepe makers do receive this treatment (Mineral crepe makers are given a coating of beeswax at the factory).
• Carbone Plus iron crepe makers are intended for professional and very intensive use . When used constantly, this use is sufficient to cure them naturally and in a very short time.
• They are designed to speed up and facilitate work when cooking and plating, during services in professional kitchens .
  

As you can see, apart from their design, the main difference is in the beeswax treatment that is not applied to these crepe makers and that is used in the Mineral B iron crepe makers , specially designed for better use in the home kitchen.

How to cure your Carbone Plus De Buyer crepe maker

If you purchase the De Buyer Carbone Plus crepe maker for professional use, no seasoning is necessary, as constant and intensive use is sufficient to season it and create the patina that gives it its natural non-stick properties.

If the crepe maker is for domestic use , it is advisable to cure it in the following way, as it is not tall enough to be able to do a first cure by boiling water with potato skins:

1. Wash the crepe maker gently with a soft sponge and a little soap, and dry it well.
2. Put 0.5-1 cm of vegetable oil in the crepe maker and heat it over medium heat until it is very hot, until it smokes, and leave it on the heat for about 5-10 minutes.
3. When done, remove the crepe maker from the heat and drain the oil.
4. Being careful not to burn yourself, spread the remaining oil in the pan over the entire interior surface, so that it forms a thin layer (there should be no drops or streaks).
   
5. Return the crepe maker to the heat over medium heat for another 5-10 minutes.
6. Remove the crepe maker from the heat and allow it to cool before storing.

Note: Since the Carbone Plus pan is not treated with natural beeswax from the factory, it may be affected by environmental humidity, causing rust to appear at certain points. This is not a defect of the pan, but is inherent to the material it is made of (almost 100% iron) and can be easily fixed.
