Review: I love it, but find it is a niche pan. - I now own 4 of these carbon steel mineral B pans, in various sizes. I also cook so much in a 14" wok that I thought this might be a really useful in between go to everything pan, that was a little smaller. In actual fact it turned out to not be quite as versatile as I'd thought. It's in no way the pans fault at all. The same heavy gauge heat retaining awesome stuff as all of my Mineral B's are, but the high sides that are also much closer to one another make the sides somehow more in the way when it comes to anything that might require stirring. You find yourself angling the utensil way up, which is something I didn't give any thought to in regards to reducing the size of what is effectively a kind of wok. I do like now the base IS wider that a wok. It's very stable, and because of the high sides, a great saute pan that also minimizes oil spattering. I really do like i t, but find myself reaching for it less than I thought I would. Perhaps I need some time to get used to it, but I find I'm still going for my full size wok, or my much smaller saute pans, and also my crepe pan, because it has no sides at all to get in the way. Cannot demote it for that though. It's beautiful, and it seems to have found a place in being the perfect ramen pan; searing onions prior to noodles and boiling water going in.
Review: A great pan but like any tool, it takes time to learn how to use it well. - I really like this pan and have found it Remarkably well suited for stir-frying, braising small cuts of meat, and it has even worked well for deep frying egg rolls. If you're interested in frying steaks, etc, I would not recommend this pan as it is a bit small at the base for such things. Instead, consider the larger De Buyer Country skillet (be forewarned that it is a heavy pan) or one of the traditional De Buyer fry pans. My only complaint with the pan is that the silicone coating on the handle seems pointless--it is too thin to offer any real insulation from the heat and it has melted/cooked away at the point where the handle is riveted to the body of the pan. Seasoning: there is an incredible amount of debate/information on the web about how to season steel and cast iron pans. My experience has been that the methods for seasoning cast iron and steel are similar but not necessarily interchangeable. The method I used, one that has worked well, is to: 1) Boil potatoes skins in the new pan as directed by De Buyer (this helps remove the bees wax coating that the pan ships with). Throw out the resulting grey mess; 2) scrub the pan thoroughly with soap and water to get off any remaining wax; 3) Heat the pan slightly on the stove to ensure that it is completely dry--about 2 minutes on medium heat; 4) Using a clean paper towel, vigorously rub a thin coat of flaxseed oil onto the insides of the pan (don't forget to shake the oil well before using it and to refrigerate it). I cannot reiterate that this layer of oil needs to be very, very thin--best to apply lots of thin layers than one big thick one; 5) Heat the pan until the oil cooks past its smoke point--about 15-20 minutes. Remember that seasoning IS NOT cooking and the goal here is to cause the oil to polymerize. If you are really interested, leave a comment and I will point you to a link that explains the chemistry in-depth; 6) Allow the pan to cool and then repeat steps 3-6 several more times; 7) After you've created a solid coating of 7-10 layers on the inside of the pan, just start cooking with it and it will continue to season on its own. Cleaning; usually I just wipe it out with a clean cloth/paper towel; however, it does, on occasion require that I use some boiling water and salt to get out crusty bits.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many quarts does it hold?**
A: OK so once I look at the actual item entry in amazon it seems that the 12.5 inch does indeed have the helper handle so it is like ours.  The 12.5" chamfers down to 9" base with approx 4" height.  Calculated out, it would seem it can hold 6 quarts if filled to the brim, probably 4 quarts comfortable depending on what you are cooking.

**Q: couldn't fingoure out the size in the production description: " 25.7 x 12.4 x 8.7 inches ", what is the height and the bottom diameter of this pan?**
A: Bottom diameter is 9" Top diameter is 12.5" and it is 3 3/8" tall.  handle to handle 26" long.

**Q: What is the weight of the 12.6 inch version? The maximum weight I can handle is 5 lbs.**
A: There is a 12.5" (Top Inner Diameter) Mineral B version with two riveted handles (not the one long and one helper handle one), that weights in at 6lb 5oz on my kitchen scale. Hefty fella. If you are looking for lighter pans and if can tolerate a 2" height, try the De Buyer Force Blue Paella pan. The 13.5" Force blue weighs 3lb 1oz on the kitchen scale. Much much better but no where near as versatile as the Wok height chef pans.

**Q: After seasoning, still leaves black residue on paper towel. Is this normal?**
A: Yes, I believe this is normal. I just rinsed mine while rubbing with a soft cotton cloth until all residue was gone. This did not remove the seasoning. Then I reseasoned again and again in an attempt to reach seasoning #11 as the chef did in a video. But I grew weary of that and stopped after about #4 because my skillet was nonstick after seasoning #1 or 2. It just had not gotten to the black color.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong and heavy
*by R***. on December 31, 2025*

I was looking for a “wok” style pan within the 9 inch size and this met what I was looking for. Heavier than I expected but fits what I am looking for- frying, cooking pasta and yes tomatoes and lemon will leave white marks but that's easy to wash. Apparently this brand is well known. If I choose to buy another item from de Buyer, I will wait for a sale. Not sure this brand is worth the cost. Last of all, it still has a strong metallic taste and smell after following the instructions.
