Description
The 12.5 in (32 cm) Mineral B PRO fry pan is built for batch cooking and crowd-free searing, with an oven-safe cast stainless steel handle designed for stovetop-to-oven cooking. As the beeswax-finished carbon steel seasons, it develops a durable patina that improves natural release and makes large-pan cooking more effortless over time.

About the Brand
I really do love this pan, it's become my favourite to use in the 6 months I've had it. It does amazing at searing proteins and sautéing whatever I need it to. It's big and heavy and just does what it's intended to... very well. It cleans pretty up easily with just some hot water and a light brushing.
The price seems kinda steep, but I know if I do my part it will definitely outlast me, so I think it's definitely worth it!
Gusta delivered all of the products I bought in 2 days perfectly The packaging was great for the heavy package. Any more kitchen and other supplies I need will be bought from Gusta.
As for the De Buyer pans, one cannot get better quality. The Pro line is fabulous. After one seasoning, it was non-stick and offers high quality even cooking. I am buying them for all of my kids as excellent gifts.
