Our Mineral B Classic Carbon Steel Fry Pans excel in frying, grilling, and searing, making them ideal for achieving the Maillard reaction, where the caramelization of natural sugars in food helps to seal in flavor and moisture. Composed of 99% iron and 1% carbon, these pans are robust and durable. With no artificial coatings, they develop a natural nonstick surface as they become seasoned over time; the darker they become, the better the nonstick.

Your MINERAL B pan comes coated in a layer of beeswax to protect it during transit. Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with hot water and a scrub brush or sponge to remove all beeswax—no soap needed.

Once clean and dry, season your pan by heating it and applying a thin layer of high-smoke point oil (like grapeseed or flaxseed). Heat until the oil begins to smoke lightly, then let it cool. This begins building the natural nonstick patina.

After cooking, rinse with hot water, wipe clean, and dry completely. Avoid soap and never put it in the dishwasher. Rub with a light coat of oil before storing.

Your pan will darken and perform better with every use.
