    I just bought myself a de Buyer Mineral B Pro 9-1/2" pan and followed your directions for seasoning in the oven (I have a flat-top non-induction). Came out with a beautiful light coppery and perfectly even seasoning. I followed it up with a fried egg test and that egg was sliding around like greased lightning! My first experience with carbon steel and I am in love! What an amazing pan!

    Scott, I have a 5 burner 50 Amp 240V Wolf Induction cook top, (1 - 10 1/2" and 4 - 8", the 8" burners can be "Bridged or Combined" into 16" x 8 or 16" x 16" !!). I have De Buyer & Malfer & Smithey carbon steel skillets and Wagner Ware cast iron pans. I do think that perhaps your comments regarding induction are based on your experiences with that tiny Burton 110V induction counter top burner you use. My experiences with the Wolf induction cook top are 180 degrees different than yours seem to be. The carbon steel heats up very quickly and evenly AND UP THE SIDES and cooks flawlessly and no warping (I start low and then move to 1/2 to 3/4 power. Likewise the heavier vintage Wagner Ware cast irons do take a longer time due to their mass but also cook great, especially browning protein. My favorite Wagner Ware is my #10 size Chef's Skillet which is a 1338. It looks like a cast omelet pan such as my De Buyer Pro Omelet (nice pan the handle stays COOL). You can find Wagner Ware Chef Skillet in #9 size 1386 and are more common than the rarer #10 and I do suggest you look for one. I do think you will find it amazing. Keep up the good work and hope you do not find this information a criticism but rather a view of induction from a user of a more capable burner. Gear DOES matter as many of your reviews show. And in that vein you NEED to review the SMITHEY carbon steel pan... it is just a fantastic cooker and beautiful ... Cheers, Art

  • @4realdustin
    @4realdustin Рік тому +13

    So here is an update: my Mineral B pro omelette pan arrived last night, and I just gave it its initial season. It has got some of that blue steel going on, but I am sure it will get more and better colour after I cook in it. As for seasoning, Scott, mine arrived with a nice seasoning instructions sheet as well as a nice note from the CEO. Perhaps your comment about a lack of seasoning instructions helped! Can't wait to go slide around some eggs now; thanks again for all the inspiration!

    • @UncleScottsKitchen
      @UncleScottsKitchen  Рік тому +6

      Wow! When I told De Buyer about the lack of seasoning instructions on the card, they said they were going to talk to France (the HQ) about it... maybe that's why that is in there? No idea, but that's good that it's in there now. By any chance do you have a pic of the letter? If you do, you can upload it to me @uskunclescott on Twitter or search for Uncle Scott's Kitchen on Facebook and post. I'd like to see what they are saying.

    Great content and thanks for the reviews Uncle Scott! Between the 9.5" and 11", which one would you recommend for a stovetop whose largest burner is 7.5"? I can't seem to find info on the bottom/cook surface of these pans which look smaller than the listed diameter. Hoping the 11" 's bottom surface wouldn't be too much bigger but i'm open to the 9.5" version, thanks!

    Good review! One question though, what temp setting did you cook with on the electric flattop? Also, I hope shaking that 5lb pan didn’t scratch the glass. That worry is the only reason I haven’t made a French omelette on my flattop yet.

  • @BrentRose
    @BrentRose 7 місяців тому +1

    Hi Scott! You previously called the original debuyer omelette pan your number one favorite. Now that it's been 5 months since you made this video, has the pro version overtaken the original for the top spot?
    I just have an electric range, so I would probably do my initial seasonings in the oven, But after that I really just want it for eggs, So it doesn't really need to be oven safe after first seasonings. Think the Pro is worth the extra $25?
    Thanks as always the great videos!

  • @thudang3039

    • @mikefisc9989
      @mikefisc9989 10 місяців тому +1

      Jacques Pepin is the omelette master. I still refer to his videos and techniques if I'm not getting the results I want. He also emphasizes while beating to completely break the egg down so that there are no discernible pieces of the white remaining. This is the area most home cooks, myself included, tend to skip due to time/convenience.

  • @roospike
    @roospike Рік тому

    A couple things ...
    Going to have to get Uncle Scott a tall white paper hat, Bon Appetit.
    To help heating up pans more efficient and distribute heat evenly try using a pan lid on top. No pan lid you could use a plate, another pan, a wood cutting board ...
    My question .. is the Omelette pan shorter /not as tall as the original French flared sides de Buyer pan? I noticed a lot of pans coming on the market (in general) have to keep an eye out because they are are a lot shorter as far as side walls.
    Also ... when measuring the de Buyer pans are they actually 9.5 + 11 in or are they still running them shorter like they've been? Love de Buyer cookware but I've had to hold back as they're having some measurement issues with their cookware. I bought the de Buyer stainless steel 3.17 quart Saucier pan and it came labeled 2.6 quart and there is no actual 3.17 qt Saucier pan, now I've seen him take the quart sizing off their website and just call it a Saucier pan / Conical pan.
    Had some issues with copper cookware sizing as well but that's another story but of the same.

    Hi, thank you for your reviews!
    I wonder why you never test the De Buyer "Carbone PLUS" series. It is basically the same al "Mineral B", but intended to be a work horse and doesn't have all the Bells and Whistles (Beeswax coating, nice logos, nice packaging) like "Mineral B". Therefore it is much cheaper (half the price, even if you take a Carbone PLUS with a stainless steel grip).

    i've been struggling with the induction stove for the past 1,5 years with my carbon steels. sooner or later they always warped and as you've mentioned here they never really heat evenly which is just plain annoying and for me beats the purpose of using the pan. last month i decided to sstop my attempts with carbon steel and get an enammeled cast iron skillet from le creuset. although it doesnt cook eggs as beautifully as the carbon steel pan, it poses less heat issues. the eggs will always stick a little bit, but they do crisp loose with the use of a spatula

    Fun video. A few months ago I got a De Buyer La Lyonnaise 7 7/8" Carbon Steel Fry Pan for $30 which I mainly use for eggs but sometimes fry other things (WHAT!!!???). Yeah once it's seasoned, it doesn't matter, so long as you don't use soap on it or scour it. In fact, when I make an omelet, I don't even stir with a steel fork-- I use something made of wood or whatever; but not metal. The La Lyonnaise model is the opposite of the pro omelet pan in that it is very lightweight and probably only about a mm thick. Heats up instantly on a gas stove and doesn't get hot spots. Just the right size for two eggs. I like it.
    By the way, I traded out my complete set of vintage cast iron for carbon steel a few years ago and haven't looked back. I still use the cast iron for certain things, like cornbread, or making a large quantity of stuffing or ground meat, but I pretty much stick with the carbon steel because they are lighter and heat more evenly. I have Matfer Bourgeat, Mauviel 1820, Rösle forged iron (from Germany) and De Buyer and I think De Buyer is the best overall, although I can't exactly say why. They are all good.

All of which I’ve had no issues, tbh since my change over from gas to induction I do believe all my cookware is far happier, easier to clean. I’m a professional cook, I’ve used high powered gas tops all my career and in the last year changed over to induction in both a professional setting and home setting. A true game changer

    • @jojoanggono3229
      @jojoanggono3229 Рік тому +1

      Hi Doug. Perhaps you should try with more egg, 4 eggs would be nice. It's difficult working with too little material on a big pan. I believe when cooking omelette we should pick pan size to suit the number of eggs. Else the eggs are all spread out thin and what you get is fried egg instead of soft omelette. Or if you use gas burner, you can tip/skew the pan and just use one side to cook the egg.

    I'm a little bit shocked you paid 120 dollars for you're pan, i pay mine 65 euros, but i'm in France.
    It become my favorite pan in 1 hour.😊

    Bought this pan in the 11” after watching video. Use a Teflon oxo which is great, but want to move away from the possible health concerns of Teflon. Seasoning in the oven worked great and this pan is almost as non stick of a Teflon pan. I use this pan for eggs only. Best carbon steel pan I have. The only negative I can say is that it is heavy and can be difficult to slide off a omelette because of the weight and handle design. The quality of this pan could last generations.

    I use carbon steel on electric and gas, the key with electric is low heat especially with eggs...I never cook above medium heat settings on the electric, I also keep my 9.5 omelet pan as my dedicated egg pan and only rinse it out with hot water when done and wipe with paper towel then micro thin coating of oil till the next day. If I need to sear a steak I use a larger size pan and use it on my outdoor gas. I might pick up one of these pro models just so I can use it in the oven, I also have a matfer which does go in the oven but I lean towards liking the debuyer slightly more. I also just ordered the 11" pro, love the looks of it

      They are very very similar. The omelette version has rounded sides, while the regular's are a little more of a visible angle where the sides of the pan meet the cooking surface. If you are doing omelettes or eggs, the rounded sides make it a little easier to slide them out onto a plate (or piece of toast), but you can still do those in the regular version as well.

As for omelettes, i can get it to slide, but if i stir and shake too much right away to get smaller curds, it still sticks. Advice?..use flat top, avocado oil seasoning...

    I have been enjoying the Uncle Scott's Kitchen videos so much that I bit the bullet - taking advantage of the Independence Day Sale 20% off - and ordered two De Buyer Pro pans/skillets. I am foresaking my carbon steel skillets that are in need of stripping and re-seasoning in order to move on to the French carbon steel pans . I know I couldn't go wrong with either De Buyer or Matfer Bourgeat pans. One couldn't beat De Buyer's sale with a stick and the rivets are up very high on the pan. So De Buyer won over Matfer Bourgeat! Those pans will be arriving in the immediate future. I have a gas range. Could you please recommend which on the burner method of seasoning for these Pro Pans? I.E., Oil or Oil, Potato Skins and Salt?

      If you have a GAS stovetop, I like using it the best. Go with stovetop. It's quick and easy and works well. If you had electric for example, I'd go with oven.

      Also, you DO NOT need to do the oil, potato peels, and salt for a De Buyer pan. That method is for Matfers only, and then only for the older models. De Buyer's only need a good wash to get most of the beeswax off (and they even want you to leave a little of it on there).

      @@UncleScottsKitchen The 9.5 inch De Buyer Mineral B Pro Fry and Omelette Pans were delivered four days early. Seasoned the pans before I read your reply. Since you used the Matfer Seasoning method with your De Buyer Pro Fry, I followed in step. Unfortunately, it didn't go well for me because the supermarket's potatoes were only 3/4 of a normal sized Russet. I should have gotten three more potatoes - my mistake. The ratio was off - used you ratio for the smaller pans 1/4 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of salt were combined with an insufficient amount of potato skins - Not good. It also didn't help that I used the more powerful large burner and heat was too high. In short it didn't go as well as it should...the seasoning of both pans were uneven and sticky with some streaks. Didn't want to nuke them. So I made a past with oil and salt and used a paper towel to smooth them down as best I could. Don't tell De Buyer I made their beautiful look so ugly with severe discoloring but they seemed to be non-stick! I made Tortillas de Potatas - fried the onions and potatoes in the fry pan and then when it was all ready poured the eggs, potatoes and onions in the omelette pan. The 9.5 inch is too small to fry the onions and potatoes. At the very least you need an 11 inch skillet/fry pan for the potatoes and onions. Nevertheless, my Tortilla de Potatas did not stick and they tasted like "more" 👍🏼👍🏼😋 I just love these De Buyer Mineral B Pro Pans. They are shoulders above my other carbon steel pans except for my Blanc Creative which I believe is on the same level with De Buyer. Thanks for your wise counsel and advice. By the way, try a Collings Acoustic Steel String Flat Top. You can't go wrong. They are exceptional and will not disappoint.

      @@47pricey I really like both pans (they are skillets to me 😀) and their respective bottoms. I am no expert to say which skillet has more flat surface than the other. The flat bottom surface of each skillet is approximately the same ( 6.5 inches/16.5cm). The fryer is slightly taller. My De Buyer Omelette is dedicated only to eggs while the De Buyer Fry Pan is for everything else i.e., protein - chicken, beef, shrimp, bacon, sofrito, vegetables etc. Enjoy the journey.

    I’m also wondering if the omelette pan will work well for steak and other food options as well? It appears that the omelette pan may have a larger cooking surface - is this correct?
    What are the downsides of going with the omelette pan versus the normal frying pan?

      Omelette pan is easier to slide eggs out of. The weight of the pans should be mentioned on the websites. I'm sure you can cook a steak in an omelette pan as well. But i like to use just 1 pan for eggs. To keep cleaning simple, and to keep the seasoning pristine.

    "Despised induction cook top". I have been using a single hob induction cook top since 1999 and will never go back to gas or electric. I have carbon steel skillets, 2 cast iron and 3 Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers. The thing about it is you have to spend the cash and get a really good one. Don't even bother with target, walmart etc. I have had 2: Cook Tech from 1999 to 2021 and Volrath from 2021 to present. Commercial grade and 220v. Yes a bit pricy(I think the new Volrath was 2200$) but well worth it. It gets so hot so fast its ridiculous but supper accurate ie melt chocolate. I tried one cheap one once and that was enough. You cant blast it to full power with the carbon steel or cast iron right away on a cold pan or you will warp the pans level. start low for a couple of min then gradually increase to the power level to get the heat you need. Just my experience.

    Hello Scott, interesting ; I never saw the yoke breaking in my family to make an omelette. Moving first all the stuff with the fork and naturally the yokes break, then add stuff. Second, all the shake of the pan the same. Your way is the restaurant way, but French never eat omelette at restaurant, they eat it at home. And there are generally many ways to do it ; some like it 'baveuse' some not, with many things inside, or not, etc.

      That said, I have used cooktops in the $1000 range for years. As long as it has multiple zones and you match the pan to the best fitting zone and keep it centered, you will have a good time. Full surface just makes it effortless. Put down on the surface and it works perfectly anywhere, but you pay for that luxury.
