The De Buyer Outdoor Blue Steel Round Frying Pan is an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts and professional home cooks who prioritize durability and heat performance. Measuring 320mm in diameter, this 2mm thick steel pan is engineered to withstand high-heat cooking, making it ideal for searing meats or stir-frying vegetables over an open flame or BBQ. While it offers superior heat distribution compared to non-stick alternatives, it requires dedicated manual seasoning and care to prevent oxidation, as it is not dishwasher safe.

Yes, this pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops due to the ferromagnetic nature of the steel.
Yes. The dishwasher will strip the seasoning and likely cause the pan to rust immediately. Hand washing is required to maintain the blue steel surface.
This is the development of a patina, which is a desirable dark layer that helps create a natural non-stick surface. Do not scrub this off.
Yes, blue steel is very durable and can handle metal utensils, which will not damage the pan like they would a non-stick coating.
Dry it immediately over a heat source. If rust has already begun to form, use a light abrasive to remove it and apply a fresh coat of oil.
The pan likely needs more seasoning. Ensure you are using enough fat/oil during cooking and avoid using acidic ingredients like tomatoes in a new pan.
Scrub the rusted area with a scouring pad or steel wool until the metal is clean, wash it, dry it thoroughly, and re-season with oil.
Discoloration is normal for blue steel as it develops a patina. This is a sign of a well-used and well-seasoned pan; it is not a defect.
Before the first use, you must perform an initial cleaning to remove any protective wax applied by the factory. Wash the pan thoroughly with hot water and a mild detergent, then dry it immediately. To prepare the surface, season the pan by heating a small amount of oil until it smokes, swirling it to coat the base, and then wiping it clean with a paper towel.
Compatibility is universal; this pan works on electric, gas, ceramic, and induction ranges, as well as BBQs and campfires. After each use, hand wash the pan with hot water only—avoid soap if possible—and dry it completely on the stove over low heat. Once dry, wipe a thin layer of cooking oil over the surface to prevent rust during storage.
