Mauviel 1830 M'steel Frying Pan

Yes. The pan comes with a protective beeswax coating that must be removed before your first use. Wash it thoroughly with hot water and a mild detergent, then dry it completely and perform an initial seasoning process to build up its non-stick surface.

It is not non-stick in the way a Teflon pan is. However, carbon steel develops a natural patina over time that becomes increasingly non-stick as you season and use it. With proper care, it will handle eggs and delicate proteins with ease.

Absolutely. The carbon steel construction is naturally magnetic, making it an excellent choice for induction stovetops. It heats up very quickly, so we recommend starting on a lower heat setting than you might be used to.

Carbon steel is reactive, so never put this pan in the dishwasher. After cooking, wash it with hot water—avoid soap if possible—and dry it immediately on the stove over low heat. Once dry, wipe a very thin layer of oil over the surface before storing it to prevent oxidation.

Yes, the iron handle is oven-safe. Because the entire pan is constructed from metal, it can easily transition from the stovetop to the oven for finishing dishes or keeping food warm.

This size is ideal for single-portion meals, searing a single steak, or frying a couple of eggs. Because it heats up so rapidly, it is best suited for high-heat tasks like browning meat or sautéing vegetables quickly.
