Mineral B has been de Buyer cookware innovation for years. Finishing this ultra-thick white steel pan with natural beeswax (de Buyer patented process) is not only a temporary natural anti-oxidation protection of the steel: it will favour the seasoning of that steel frypan and highly improve its natural nonstick qualities coming with the seasoning (see below for more information about Iron frypans and seasoning). 

With 2.5 to 3 mm thick of iron, Mineral B is an ultra robust iron pan able to sustain indefinitely powerful heat sources and induction without shape loss and perfect heat conduction. It will quickly reach high temperature, necessary to create the “Maillard reaction”, a cooking process which will crust and sear perfectly your meat while keeping and improving the flavor of the meat juices. It’s ideal as well to brown your potatoes and vegetables, grill, fry or deep fry anything with greater result and control against “burning them”. 

It gets a strong and firmly riveted handle, with a French style curvature which allows you to use both your hand and your forearm when handling it while the very high flared curved shape of the skirt, with no sharp angle, enables the food to slide easily from the frying pan onto a plate or a dish. Another quality much appreciated by the Chefs.
