Mineral B Pro Carbon Steel Fry Pan
French carbon steel (99% iron, 1% carbon) with a cast stainless steel handle and a natural beeswax finish. A nonstick-when-seasoned pan with zero plastic or synthetic coating.
Good to know: Requires seasoning like cast iron. The classic Mineral B line has an epoxy-coated handle; the Pro's all-stainless handle is the fully plastic-free pick.

Why we picked it
Carbon steel is the restaurant pan: thinner and quicker than cast iron, seasoning up the same way into a slick black surface. The Pro version matters here because its handle is cast stainless, where the standard line coats the handle in epoxy. Steel, iron and a beeswax finish is the entire bill of materials. It sears steak and slides omelets with equal manners.
What it’s made of
