Pan de buyer crepe pan 26 cm, model D-5715-26, carbon steel

De Buyer crepe pan 26 cm (model D-5715-26) is a flat carbon-steel pan designed specifically for making crepes, pancakes and thin omelettes. The 26 cm cooking surface provides an even, wide area for spreading batter and achieving thin, uniform results. Carbon steel construction ensures rapid heat-up, good heat distribution across the surface and reliable heat retention for consistent cooking performance on domestic and professional hobs.

Advantages

The carbon-steel body offers quick, even heating and strong thermal responsiveness, allowing precise temperature control while cooking delicate batters. Its flat profile and low rim simplify spreading batter and flipping, while the robust material develops a natural non-stick patina over time when seasoned and cared for correctly. The crepe pan is compatible with gas, electric and ceramic cooktops and provides professional-style results when used with appropriate seasoning and maintenance routines.

• Making crêpes, pancakes and thin omelettes
• Home and small-scale professional breakfast or dessert preparation

How to use

Before first use, follow the manufacturer's seasoning procedure for carbon-steel cookware: wash, dry thoroughly, heat gently and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to form an initial protective layer. Heat the pan to the required temperature, pour and spread batter quickly across the flat surface, cook until set, then flip or roll the crepe using a spatula. After cooking, clean by wiping or rinsing with warm water and a soft brush; avoid abrasive cleansers. Dry completely and reapply a light coat of oil if needed to preserve the seasoning.

Usage recommendations

For best results, preheat the pan over medium heat until evenly warm, use a light coating of oil or butter when making the first few crepes to build the non-stick patina, and avoid prolonged soaking or dishwasher use to maintain the carbon-steel surface and extend the pan's service life.
