Frying Pan de buyer PRIM APPETY DB3504-20 20 cm, induction compatible, carbon steel

de buyer PRIM APPETY DB3504-20 is a 20 cm carbon steel frying pan designed for everyday frying, searing and browning. The pan is compatible with induction cooktops and offers quick heat response and even heat distribution across the cooking surface. With regular use the carbon steel develops a natural non-stick patina, making it suitable for high-temperature techniques and frequent kitchen tasks in both home and professional environments.

Advantages

The pan combines the thermal conductivity and durability of carbon steel with an induction-compatible base for modern cooktops. Its 20 cm diameter provides a compact cooking surface useful for single portions or small batches. The material allows rapid temperature changes and efficient browning, while the surface becomes more non-stick over time through seasoning. The construction supports high-heat searing and oven finishing when required.

How to use

Before first use, prepare the pan by cleaning with hot water and drying thoroughly. Season the carbon steel according to the manufacturer’s guidance to build the initial protective patina: heat the pan, apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat until the oil bonds to the surface. During cooking, preheat the pan to the desired temperature, add a small amount of oil or fat to help prevent sticking, and adjust heat as needed for the food being prepared. After use, wash by hand with warm water and a soft brush or sponge, dry immediately and apply a thin layer of oil for storage to prevent oxidation.

Recommendations

To maintain the non-stick patina and extend the life of the pan, avoid prolonged soaking, abrasive cleaners and dishwashers. Regular seasoning after cleaning and using moderate amounts of oil for frying will improve performance over time. For best results on induction cooktops, allow the pan to preheat briefly before adding food so it achieves an even cooking temperature.
