de Buyer MINERAL B Carbon Steel Aebleskiver & Poffertjes Pan

This pan is not pre-seasoned. You will need to perform an initial seasoning process before your first use to create a protective, non-stick layer. De Buyer includes instructions for this, and it is essential for preventing rust and ensuring your treats release properly.

No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. Carbon steel requires hand-washing with hot water and a gentle brush or sponge. You should avoid soap if possible, and always dry it immediately and apply a light coat of oil to prevent oxidation.

Carbon steel is thinner and more heat-responsive than cast iron, meaning it heats up and cools down much faster. This allows for more precise temperature control, which is helpful when you are trying to achieve the perfect golden-brown exterior on delicate batters.

Yes, this pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Because it is made from magnetic carbon steel, it will heat efficiently on induction surfaces, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.

No. This pan is completely free from PFAS, PFOA, and PFOS. It relies entirely on the seasoning process to develop a natural, non-stick surface, making it a great choice if you prefer to avoid synthetic non-stick coatings.

Yes, it is oven safe up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This is useful if you need to finish your aebleskiver or keep them warm, but be sure to use an oven mitt as the carbon steel handle will get very hot.
