They were waiting for you. More French than Coco Chanel, the Mineral B iron skillets by De Buyer are just what you were looking for to cook healthily at home.
- Handcrafted from iron.
- Without any chemicals, strange coatings, or heavy metals.
- Treated with a natural beeswax layer that protects the skillet from the factory to your home.
- With use, they develop a natural non-stick patina.
- Ideal for browning or roasting meats, sautéing vegetables, or frying eggs.
- Suitable for all heat sources, including induction.
- Oven-safe (can go in the oven at 200°C for ten minutes).
This is the classic skillet, the iron skillet of grandmothers, letting you reclaim those authentic, delicious flavors. It’s not lightweight, but it’s worth its weight in gold, and it will last you a lifetime!
Remember, we have a protective handle cover for De Buyer iron skillets to help you avoid burns while handling.
Why we love the Mineral B iron skillet
- The mineral iron distributes heat so evenly across the skillet's surface that any food is cooked and browned perfectly.
- They are built to last a lifetime. They'll last you forever if you take care of them well, as you know.
- Since they’re oven-safe, they're perfect for gratinating or adding a final touch of heat to your recipes.
- They are non-Teflon skillets, natural, and chemical-free. Cooking in them not only enhances food flavors but is also completely healthy!
Important things to know about Mineral B iron skillets
- De Buyer skillets are made in France, and are the only ones certified with over 99% pure iron. The best!
- They are iron skillets, so they may rust. How to prevent it? Avoid prolonged contact with water and 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 to fully remove moisture while you finish up in the kitchen (a very useful and easy trick).
- If you're not going to use them for a while, you can apply a bit of oil and spread it with a paper towel, though it’s not essential.
- Before first use, seasoning is highly recommended. Seasoning makes them naturally more non-stick. It’s very easy to do. Watch the video among the photos to learn how.
- This is a skillet for life! You can scrub it with a soft sponge or even steel wool if needed, and nothing will happen to the skillet! (there’s no non-stick coating to damage). They may turn black, in spots or all over. Don’t worry; the blacker they get, the better they work.
- If rust spots appear, just wipe with a paper towel and oil, and they’ll disappear like magic. If the rusted area is larger, use steel wool without fear. It won’t harm it; it’s entirely iron—underneath the surface layer, there’s more iron.
- If you’ve had to scrub it with steel wool, or if you simply want to, you can season it again, though it’s by no means necessary.
