De Buyer La Lyonnaise paella pan

Round frying pan in carbon steel with two handles for paella, but also for quick searing, grilling and browning meat, less delicate fish and eggs. The Lyonnaise profile enables the food to slide easily onto a plate. It is not recommended for induction because of the thin steel.

Cleaning: deglaze, rinse with warm water, dry and oil lightly. Store in a dry place. Do not use detergents or put in the dishwasher. Seasoning will give the pan natural non-stick properties.

Blue or black Steel

The black color comes from the heat pressing the sheet of steel, as opposed to white carbon steel, which is pressed when cold. This traditional heat treatment gives a finish protecting the product against rust during manufacturing and transport.

When you touch an unused pan, it will leave coloured traces on your fingers. This is entirely natural and not a defect.

A new pan should be cleaned thoroughly in order to remove remains of dust and grease. Then it should be seasoned, like an ordinary carbon-steel pan.

The dark colour will first disappear and the lighter steel will come through. When used, the pan will build up its natural, dark patina. Remember that the more you use the pan, the better it becomes!
