{"product_id":"de-buyer-mineral-b-carbon-steel-griddle-with-2-handles-38-x-26-cm","title":"de Buyer | MINERAL B Ridged Carbon Steel Griddle with Two Handles","description":"\u003cp\u003eSear steaks, put grill lines on vegetables or toast a sandwich with the ridged MINERAL B griddle from de Buyer. This rectangular carbon steel pan brings a grill-style cooking surface to the stovetop, with two riveted handles and a format that also works in the oven or on an outdoor grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ridges are the reason to choose this model over de Buyer's smooth MINERAL B griddle. The smooth version gives pancakes and eggs a flat surface; this version raises food above channels that carry away fat and juices, leaving distinct grill marks. It is the one we would choose for steaks, vegetables and sandwiches when those lines and that style of sear are the goal, rather than an uninterrupted flat cooking surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarbon steel is the other part of the decision. Compared with a factory nonstick griddle, MINERAL B develops its naturally nonstick surface through seasoning and use. De Buyer describes quick, even heating and a construction built for high temperatures and frequent cooking. The protective beeswax finish guards against oxidation before the pan goes into service; it is not a substitute for preparing and seasoning the cooking surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in France, this griddle is listed at 15 by 10.25 inches, or approximately 38 by 26 centimeters. Its two-handle design and rectangular shape distinguish it from a round, long-handled grill pan. The manufacturer specifically recommends the ridged surface for searing steaks, grilling sandwiches and marking vegetables, so you have several useful starting points beyond a single recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe carry it for cooks who want the option of grill-style results indoors as well as outside. We like that the difference from the smooth griddle is straightforward and useful: choose the cooking surface for the food you actually want to make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow de Buyer's carbon steel instructions to remove the protective beeswax and season before first use. Handwash and avoid harsh soaps or abrasive materials that strip seasoning. If you enjoy maintaining a seasoned pan, make this your dedicated griddle for the foods that benefit from a ridged surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Buyer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45957745639447,"sku":"5640.02","price":186.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/9001\/0391\/files\/5640-02_packshot_1_9de59985-53fc-495c-b895-586035439c3e.png?v=1794286718","url":"https:\/\/athenscooks.com\/products\/de-buyer-mineral-b-carbon-steel-griddle-with-2-handles-38-x-26-cm","provider":"Athens Cooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
