Looking for the perfect pans?

This **de Buyer Acier Carbone Steel frying pan 20 cm** is a special pan made of carbon steel. A type of steel that is not stainless. That might seem like a drawback, but can work as an advantage through careful use. The pan is solid and heavy, and has no non-stick coating. But don't worry: this will form automatically as you use the pan!

Because the pan has no non-stick coating, it can withstand very high temperatures. Also, you can use steel cookware without worrying about damaging the bottom. Suitable for all heat sources, including induction and oven. Keep in mind that the handle of this pan gets hot! The use of kitchen gloves is therefore definitely advisable.

Only wash this pan with hot water and a brush. Soap is out of the question and a dishwasher will do irreparable damage to the pan. This is because of the acids in those detergents. These pans require special treatment, but when used correctly, they are a pleasure to work with.

## Seasoning a de Buyer pan

Before use, this pan needs to be seasoned. Check out the product video to learn more. Start by washing the pan under the tap. Use very hot water and a brush to remove any residue from the factory. Do not use any soap! After washing, use some kitchen paper towels to dry the pan.

Pour about a millimetre of (sunflower) oil into the pan. Don't use olive oil, as it can't handle high temperatures. Put the pan on a high heat and let the oil burn in. Pour the oil out of the pan and dry it again with some kitchen towel. The pan will now be slightly darker on the inside, which is known as [a patina](/en/ct/what-is-patina-on-a-knife.htm). You have to nurture this patina layer. It ensures that the pan becomes increasingly resistant to sticking and corrosion. The darker/ blacker the pan, the better seasoned it is.

It is advisable to fry only(red) meat in the pan the first few times until the patina is well-formed. After frying about ten times, the patina is sufficient to also be able to fry more delicate products such as eggs.

Lighter spots may occur in the patina when you cook acidic products in the pan, such as lemon, tomatoes and white wine. After this, it is important to season the pan again with some more oil.

## Cleaning a carbon steel pan

After use, clean the pan with hot water to remove food residues. Then immediately dry the pan with kitchen towel to prevent rust. If there are still food residues remaining, they can be removed with a sponge. Don't soak the pan as this can form corrosion.

Periodically put a layer of coarse salt in the pan and heat it for around ninety seconds. The salt will fry odours and suchlike off the patina. Then rinse the pan, dry it with kitchen towel and lightly coat it with some oil before storing it.

## History of de Buyer

The French company *de Buyer* has been producing top-quality cookware since 1830. All products are still produced in France. Original European quality.

These de Buyer Acier Carbone Steel pans are a little like diamonds in the rough. There may be scratches due to production and transport, but this won't be an issue after seasoning.

## Pans with no PFAS, PFOA or PTFE

The abbreviation PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. These are man-made substances that do not naturally occur in the environment. Examples of PFAS are GenX, PFOA perfluoro octanoic acid and PFOS perfluorooctane sulfonates. PFAS is an umbrella term for all these substances, which are used in many products, including frying pans, grill pans and wok pans. PFAS have useful properties: among other things, they are repellent to water, grease and dirt. However, we now know that PFAS are harmful to health. 

Teflon is the commercial name for various plastic fluoropolymers, such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). PFAS is used to make these plastic fluoropolymers. Teflon leaves a water and dirt resistant layer on the product that can handle heat. PTFE also allows two surfaces to slide over each other easily. That is why PTFE is found in pans with a non-stick coating. In other words: they're all the same thing. **This pan is free from PFAS, PFOA and PTFE**. You can use this pan to cook with complete peace of mind. Are you looking for a different pan? [We have listed all the alternatives to a Teflon pan.](/en/ct/alternative-teflon-pans.htm)

The pan's thickness is 20% less than advertised. The thickness of the bottom of the 20 cm diameter pan is advertised as being 3 mm, when in actuality it is 2.5 mm. Even accounting for the delivery costs I had already paid, I judged the meagre compensation offered inadequate to justify keeping it, as I had purchased it specifically for its apparent implied excellent thermal capacity and resistance to warping.

The error has not been corrected on the website in the 10 days since I first reported it.

Parfait pour les œufs aux plats du matin..

Great pan for making lunch omelette for one or two.
