Overview
Cooking a single egg or a small pancake is the job of this compact round pan. The carbon steel body has a washable beeswax coating over bare metal, which supports a natural nonstick surface as it is seasoned.
Quick heat and a nonstick finish without a synthetic coating are the reasons to consider it. It will not take a dishwasher cycle or high oven heat, and the small size suits one portion at a time.
Who it's for
Breakfast cooks who like carbon steel and are willing to hand wash and look after the pan. Someone who needs a large skillet or who wants low-maintenance coating should skip it.
Pros and cons
- Beeswax coating protects the bare metal
- Natural nonstick finish
- Works on gas and induction
- Made in France
- Hand wash only
- Small cooking surface
- Maximum temperature limits oven use
Performance notes
Carbon steel heats quickly and responds fast to changes in burner heat, which suits eggs. The beeswax layer protects the metal and helps food release until the pan builds its own seasoning through use. Temperature past the stated maximum can damage the coating.
