De Buyer Mineral B Carbon Steel Crepe Pan, 24cm

The heaviness of this pan does contribute to a good pancake and crumpet. I love my pan. Best investment I made to choose the De Buyer.

Our entire family uses this pan with ease. My girls are able to make pancakes safely and easily. It does get better and better over time and use.

This is a very versatile pan - useful for more than just crepes.
The lower profile rim levels up your spatula game and this is my go-to pan for making crumpets/pancakes, frying halloumi, making omelettes etc.
The De Buyer pans are premium hardware. Solid and well crafted with a good feel in the hand. They retain heat well and respond quickly to changes in stove temp too.
The seasoning process is quick and easy and the non-stick patina develops well for a great non-stick cooking experience. Read more

I bought this after an Indian friend taught me how to make roti. As for crepes, I shamefully admit that I buy the pre-made frozen ones (never could get the batter right), but after warming them in his pan with a little butter, they taste as well as freshly made with perfect crispy edges. I also use this pan for bruschetta and toasted sandwiches. The sides are high enough to be able to cook eggs and bacon, an omelette, or filling for fajitas. The pan is solid and heavy, which I personally like - there is nothing about it that feels flimsy. It starts looking quite grimy after a while, which is a good thing, but will leave people who are used to spotless non-stick a bit horrified. Really enjoy it. Read more

Got this as my first test of carbon-steel cookware - I wanted a dedicated egg/omelette/pancake pan. Seasoning took me a few rounds to figure out, but it's nice and slippery now.
- use pork fat instead of oil for the seasoning, that way it doesn't get sticky.
- One thin layer is fine, it doesn't have to be black.
- cook with BUTTER (not margarine). The butter makes the pan amazingly slippery, but it doesn't seem to contribute to building a seasoning. I actually tried stripping the pan and seasoning with butterfat alone, but it just smoked off and left nothing on the surface.
- don't leave oil/etc in the pan after cooking, it will soften the seasoning over time. If it's clean enough, just wipe it out. Else use warm water. Read more

A must-buy. Easy to season and use.

This is one of the best pans I own. The steel needs a bit of seasoning but once it's got a nice patina it'll last forever. No more throwing away a nasty Teflon pan every two or three years.

It's got a reasonable heft to it, and IMO the handle could be a bit more ergonomic but neither of these are deal-breakers. I love it and would buy it again. (Though I probably won't need to.)

This is by far the best pancake pan I've ever had. I have it for almost a year now.

Look after it (season as per instructions and use it for only one purpose, to bake pancakes) and it wil be better than any non-stick pan and without the harmful chemicals. Use silicone utensil with the pan and not steel and the seasoning will keep up with lots of use.
