MINERAL B PRO takes the classic MINERAL B carbon steel pan and adds a cast stainless steel handle, so it moves from the stovetop into the oven. Carbon steel (99% iron, 1% carbon) sears hard and builds a natural non-stick patina.Why it works Cast stainless steel handle, oven safe Beeswax finish for easier seasoning All cooktops including induction No synthetic non-stick coating, so it handles high heat and metal utensils Builds a natural non-stick patina with use: the more you cook in it, the better it gets High heat browning and caramelisation for a proper sear Made in France How to seasonPour about 1mm of oil into the pan and heat it until the oil starts to steam. Tip the oil out into a heatproof container and wipe the pan with paper towel. Seasoning is at its best after cooking red meat in the pan around 10 times. The more you use it, the darker it gets and the less it sticks. Once it is well seasoned, it is ready for delicate food like eggs and fish.CareSeason before first use. After cooking, deglaze, rinse in hot water, dry thoroughly and wipe with a thin film of oil. Store somewhere dry. No detergent and no dishwasher.
