de Buyer 9-Inch Mineral B Omelet Pan
This carbon-steel pan from iconic French company de Buyer has rounded sides that are just the right shape for turning or rolling French-style omelets, then gently sliding them out of the pan when done. And it is by no means limited to omelets: The round sides that help with rolling an omelet are also nice for sautéing and flipping any food. Each Mineral B pan has an all-natural beeswax coating that protects against rust and provides a foundation for seasoning. Over time, your pan will transform from its original gray to mottled blues and oranges before developing a lustrous, fully blackened patina. As the seasoning builds, the surface also becomes smoother and more nonstick.
Before you use your de Buyer carbon-steel pan for the first time, clean it with very hot water and rub down the entire surface to remove excess beeswax. Heat oil in your carbon-steel dish on the stovetop—enough to cover the bottom—until it starts to smoke, then discard the oil and rub the cookware down with paper towels. Before the cookware develops a fully blackened patina, we recommend adding a little more oil or butter to start, and ensure the pan is fully preheated and evenly coated in fat before adding ingredients.
In case of stubborn, stuck-on bits of food, scrub the pan with kosher salt moistened with oil, which will simultaneously season the pan. We also recommend wiping a thin coat of neutral oil across the pan’s surface for storage (with use and time as the patina improves, this will become unnecessary).

de Buyer 12-Inch Mineral B Paella Pan
While most Mineral B handles are epoxy-coated and not oven-safe, the handles on this 12-inch carbon-steel pan are made solely with oven-safe stainless steel for recipes that finish in the oven. It’s ideal for any braised dish, even roasts. We love the big surface area, which can handle a boatload of chicken parts or enough food for a party—it’s even great for paella! As opposed to one long handle, the ear-style handles are easier for carrying and fitting inside ovens and grills. Each Mineral B pan has an all-natural beeswax coating that protects against rust and provides a foundation for seasoning. Over time, your pan will transform from its original gray to mottled blues and oranges before developing a lustrous, fully blackened patina. As the seasoning builds, the surface also becomes smoother and more nonstick.
de Buyer Copper Eggwhites bowl
This stunning bowl from French company de Buyer is as beautiful as it is functional, made of 100% solid copper. This style of half-round mixing bowl is the classic tool used by bakers to whip egg whites into stiff peaks to incorporate into desserts and beyond, as the shape adds extra air the the mixture and the copper keeps the peaks glossy and supple through its ability to promote a certain type of bond between the egg proteins. A side handle adds stability, while the open-rolled edge makes for easy cleaning.
