DE BUYER Blue Carbon Steel Crepe, Pancake & Tortilla Pan

Blue Carbon Steel Crepe, Pancake & Tortilla Pan collection offers professional-grade performance at an exceptional value, making it the perfect entry point for home cooks looking to explore the world of carbon steel cookware. Crafted in France, these specialized pans combine the best qualities of cast iron and stainless steel, delivering superior heat distribution and retention in a lighter, more maneuverable package.

Key features of our Blue Carbon Steel Pan include:

• Low, sloped sides ideal for easy flipping of crepes, tortillas, and pancakes
• Develops a natural non-stick patina with use and proper seasoning
• Flash oven use up to 400F for up to 10 minutes
• Lighter than cast iron, allowing for easier handling and maneuverability, 2mm thickness

The unique blue finish, achieved through a special heat treatment process, provides initial corrosion resistance and aids in the seasoning process. With proper care, these pans will develop a beautiful, dark patina over time, enhancing their non-stick properties and becoming a cherished kitchen heirloom.

Perfect for creating delicate crepes, authentic tortillas, and perfectly round pancakes, these pans offer the durability and versatility of much more expensive cookware at a fraction of the cost. The long, ergonomic handle provides comfortable control, essential for spreading batter evenly and achieving thin, perfectly cooked results.

Unlike the rest of our carbon steel collection, this crêpe pan’s lightweight design makes it ideal for gas and electric burners, but not suitable for induction stovetops. 

USE & CARE

Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with hot water and a scrub brush or sponge —no soap needed. Once clean and dry, season your pan by heating it and applying a thin layer of high-smoke point oil (like grapeseed or avocado). Heat until the oil begins to smoke lightly, then let it cool. This begins building the natural nonstick patina. After cooking, rinse with hot water, wipe clean, and dry completely. Avoid soap and never put it in the dishwasher. Rub with a light coat of oil before storing. Your pan will darken and perform better with every use.
