[Best Buy] De Buyer Pans on sale

There are multiple De Buyer Frying Pans on sale at Best Buy. I tried to compare with amazon current and camel price history, it's hard to match by mode l number (as they different ones), but comparing by size shows this is not the lowest ones, but very very close.

So I take it that you have nothing left to learn?

I actually appreciate some of the side commentary about how to use and maintain products. Over the years, I've learned a great deal from fellow RFDers and that goes well beyond learning which store has the lowest price for a particular product.

I totally agree. I always learn something new with the seasoning, even though I have all my pans seasoned.

Totally recommend these pans though, but got to spend the time and effort to season properly.

I'm considering buying the "country style" pan for use as a stirfry pan/wok. On glass induction - anyone have any thoughts?

Since you asked, here's the best info I've found:

A blog that explains the science involved: http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/ ... cast-iron/

A blog that tests/reviews the above method: http://www.thekitchn.com/i-seasoned-my- ... ned-224612#_

True, everyone's an expert at something.

I bought 3 pans years ago and my seasoning never really worked well. Did various methods from lard to olive oil to flaxseed oil, still subpar results. Now they sit in a drawer and never get used.

I should probably get my act together and try it one more time or just sell em. Amazing pans if you get em done right, just seemed to elude me despite me thinking I had a modicum of culinary/technical ability lol.
Please don't ask or beg for "thanks". Don't act like this is Facebook. If someone found your post helpful, let them decide if they want to make that click. The more you beg, the less you'll get. Cheers

I bought the 9" crepe pan and an 11" fry pan about 2-3 years ago from Costco. The crepe pan is very versatile and it has become my favourite pan for eggs, pancakes, french toast, even fried steaks and fish. We use it way more than the fry pan and I am thinking about buying the 12" crepe pan now....

As for seasoning, I used the thin flaxseed oil + bake at high temp several times method but found that didn't work very well. In another thread on these pans, someone suggested a potato skins + oil method (link below). So I sanded my pans down to the bare iron using 60 grit sandpaper and restarted. The potato skins method worked much better - the only suggestion I have is to use a steel or high heat silicone spatula during the seasoning because of the very high heat. I first used a cheap plastic one and the plastic melted into the seasoning (I started over by sanding it down again).

Once it is seasoned, don't wash it with soap and water after cooking. Just wipe it down with a paper towel and it's good to go for the next use.

That was my first debuyer product and its also the most used (I stir fry a lot). I love the depth, but definitely also heavier.

Is De Buyer a higher quality brand? I am in need of a new frying pan... all non-stick pan I tried failed after a few months (med heat, no metal utensils). Been resorting to use my heavy cast iron lodge skillet for simple fried eggs.

...too bad specs online doesnt display the weight of these pans

Love this pan. I did 12 iterations of flax seed oil baking in the oven, to season the pan before I cooked with it.
There is no comparison when making bacon and eggs!

Ordered a 8.5 inch one for $29. See how it goes. I quite like my cast iron pan after getting used to the seasoning process. My method is much simpler. I use any handy oil (having tried all kinds) that works on high temps. Used canola last time. Rub it into washed pan by hand. Rub it off by paper or cloth. Bake it in bbq at high temp. 500+. Repeat 3-4 times. Check it after it cools down. Does it have a uniform sheen? Does it feel slippery? Use it to fry or cook. It may stick at the first go, but give it a few tries. After a few tries, the surface should feel slippery. It should feel non stick when you touch it.

I had issues as well but this method seems to work for me and has gotten much better over time.

It might be worth a try before you sell them.

Any of these okay on the glass top induction stoves? I think we already scratched ours with a lodge cast iron.

Highly recommend the rock pans from Costco. You get two 9" and 12" I believe for like $40 and it's the best pans I've ever owned. Every other pan says non stick but you always have to be careful otherwise they still stick (think eggs with little oil). I've never ever had anything stick to the rock pans from Costco. Amazing pans, highly recommend. Truly non stick.

What problem did you have with the flax oil & high heat method? If you get that sorted, you'll get a real seasoning layer that can be washed with soap.
If it was flaking off, the most likely solution is to make sure the steel is absolutely clean first (use oven cleaner or your oven's self-clean cycle to be sure); then heat the pan to 450F for an hour (I'd even suggest 500F) to get a bit of black rust (magnetite) before seasoning - see this page:
