Why this frying pan earns its place
The De Buyer Mineral B Element frying pan is a 32cm carbon steel pan with a 2.4 litre capacity and a 45 mm profile. It is built for serious heat: the manufacturer positions it as a professional pan for searing and cooking at high temperatures.
Its 2.5-3mm thick steel construction is designed to give the pan the sort of performance that matters when you want quick response and confident browning. Riveted steel handles make it easy to move around the kitchen, and the metal handle design also means it can go into the oven for up to 10 minutes at 200°C.
This is a pan for kitchens that want straightforward, durable kit rather than lightweight non-stick convenience. It works on all heat sources, including induction, so it fits neatly into mixed kitchens and busy pass-through service.
