The author reflects on their reliance on a nonstick pan that eventually began peeling, prompting a shift to carbon steel for improved wellness and performance. They considered two highly-rated pans from De Buyer—the lightweight Blue Carbon and the heavier, performance-oriented Mineral B. Initial impressions showed notable differences in weight and cooking surface area. While both pans require maintenance due to their unseasoned nature, they promise versatile cooking capabilities and the potential for long-term durability if cared for properly.
My beloved nonstick pan, while convenient, became a source of concern due to its potentially toxic coating; transitioning to carbon steel seemed the right choice.
Between the De Buyer Blue Carbon and Mineral B pans, I discovered the lighter, wider Blue Carbon offered ease while the heavier Mineral B showcased high-performance potential.
After extensive testing, the De Buyer pans performed remarkably well, demonstrating how a well-cared-for carbon steel pan combines nonstick properties with exceptional cooking versatility.
