I bought an iron frying pan, and I received a steel frying panUpdated 7 months ago
The Mineral B iron frying pan from De Buyer is made of carbon steel, which is composed of 99% iron and 1% carbon (steel is an alloy of iron with small amounts of carbon). De Buyer distinguishes its different types of frying pans by material in their nomenclature. Thus, ACIER-STEEL refers to iron (carbon steel), while, for example, stainless steel pans would be labeled INOX (without referencing the terms ACIER or STEEL).
