DE BUYER5614.24 Mineral B Element Round Country Frying Pan, 24 cm Diameter

If you're serious about your cooking, these are the best pans you can get and this shape is particularly useful (I have this one and a huge one - about 15" diameter). You can heat them very hot over a flame or in the oven, and (properly maintained) they will soon become virtually non-stick and last a lifetime. They take a while to reach black, well-used perfection, but the maintenance routine (clean in hot water, without scouring, then dry over a flame and rub a couple of drops of oil into the surface) becomes automatic and almost a pleasure. It's best to avoid acid ingredients like tomatoes and lemons, but for frying or sauteing meat or veg these are unsurpassed. They are also quite heavy.

High quality French-made cookware. Heavy, robust and just a good old-fashioned sturdy pan. Take a while to get well-seasoned as all good quality iron pots do but well worth the effort. Used daily in our household.

already owned an old frying pan which is very well seasoned and do not stick. this new one is as good as the first one and both my husband and I are delighted with it. it is also very versatile. Should last a life time

I have a few of these pans now, they are great.No Teflon, which I find loses its non stick qualities after a fairly short while.Plus apparently Teflon has carcinogenic properties.Just keep Carbon steel pans seasoned, and they stay non stick.These pans are heavy, not as heavy as cast iron, but my wife can't use them.If the weight might be an issue for you, look at the Salter "pan for life " range, which come preseasoned.

Love it. This is our third pan from DeBuyer and never let us down. We have now three sets and we are going for the crepe pan next. If you season properly you will have a naturally non stick pan for a lifetime. Love it. *****

I bought two of these as gifts for my kids, because I already own one. If you do get one, it should be the last saute pan you will ever need. It is not a teflon pan! It does not work like a teflon pan - even with months of proper care. But, and it is a big but, you can do anything, with anything to anything, and it bounces back, over and over. I rinse in hot water only, scrub if necessary and finish with a thin coating of oil, heated on the hob. If you do this, it will outlive you. (I also have a De Buyer egg pan set aside for fried eggs. They never stick!) It is heavy enough to work well on an electric or induction hob.The choice is between forking out for a "non-stick" pan every year, or getting this.

I love all the Mineral B De Buyer pans and this one is no exception! Keep it seasoned well and it will remain non stick, best oil I have found for this job is rice bran oil.

I love this Pan. Wish I could afford to order whole range. I will in time!. It's the healthiest way to cook. Taste good. And after only a few times of oiling it, has become naturally non stick. If anything does become stuck at the bottom , a few minutes of very hot water soaked in the bottom , everything comes off with a wipe. Then I smear oil all around inside of the pan again. The best pan I have Ever used. I cannot recommend enough
