Product Overview

Series: Mineral B
Type: Blini / Pancake Pan
Diameter: 12 cm
Material: Carbon steel with natural beeswax protective finish

The pan is made from carbon steel, a durable material that heats evenly and retains high temperatures, helping achieve crispy edges and even cooking on small batter-based foods. A natural beeswax coating protects against oxidation during storage and facilitates the initial seasoning process. 

Key Features

Ideal for Small-Batch Cooking: Designed for blinis, pancakes, fritters and other mini batter recipes, as well as frying eggs. 

Natural Non-Stick Performance: Carbon steel forms a seasoning layer with continued use, improving natural non-stick properties over time without synthetic coatings. 

Beeswax Protection: Beeswax finish protects the pan from rust prior to seasoning and supports early seasoning steps. 

Versatile Heat Compatibility: Suitable for all hob types, including induction. 

Ergonomic Handle: Riveted handle offers secure grip and comfort during use. 

Oven Safe (Limited): Can typically be used in the oven for short periods (check manufacturer guidance for exact limits). 

Usage & Care

Before first use, the beeswax finish should be removed with hot water and the pan seasoned with oil to develop a protective and naturally non-stick surface. Regular seasoning and proper maintenance build a darker patina that enhances performance. After cooking, rinse with warm water, dry thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil to prevent oxidation. 

Care Notes:

Hand wash only (avoid detergent and dishwasher).
