Why this frying pan earns its place
This De Buyer blinis pan is made from iron with a blued iron exterior finish and a compact 120 mm diameter. It is a small, purpose-built pan that suits careful cooking where you want control and a neat finish.
The manufacturer describes it as heavy-duty, professional quality black iron cookware, which tells you what sort of kitchen it is built for. It is not a dishwasher-safe pan, so it is best treated as proper hob cookware rather than a low-effort clean-up item.
With a gross weight of just 0.2 kg, it is easy to handle and quick to move around the hob. The stated 4.5 litre capacity should be read as the supplier's own figure, while the pan size itself remains firmly compact at 120 mm across.
