De Buyer Carbone Plus 26 cm frying pan

Crispy potato pancakes for breakfast, juicy steak for dinner, and appetizing crust on potatoes — all this is possible with the Carbone Plus frying pan from De Buyer. 26 cm is an optimal size for a family of 3-4 people: it doesn't take up the entire cooking surface, but holds 3-4 eggs or 600 g of grilled vegetables.

Thick carbon steel heats quickly and retains heat better than any non-stick coating. The secret is that cast iron and steel release heat gradually, so the steak browns evenly rather than stewing in its own juices. After a couple of weeks, the pan will develop a natural «patina» — a natural non-stick layer that develops over time with use. Onions don't stick, eggs slide easily, and cleaning is as simple as wiping with a paper towel.

The hardened steel handle withstands temperatures up to 350 °C: confidently place the pan in the oven for final searing of meat or baking pizza. The 26 cm diameter allows you to cook for two people, and the high sides keep sauce inside — convenient for stewing tomatoes for pasta or braising chicken thighs in wine. The pan becomes a reliable kitchen helper.
