I purchased the de Buyer fry pan set and then decided to get this sauté pan. I have not been disappointed. Its materials have the same non-stick & health-conscious qualities as the fry pans - that's important to me; and the versatility of this pan's size and shape makes it a go-to item for lots of cooking chores. They're going to make great Christmas gifts!

Performs beautifully, handles high heat well, durable, quickly builds up a natural nonstick 'coat' like cast iron, but without cast iron's reactivity to acid foods - nothing discolors or tastes funny. Everyone should have cookware this good. Between this saute pan and my DeBuyer 12" fry pan I can cook just about anything.

This saute pan is magnificent. It cooks quickly, searing meats & veggies giving them a carmelized taste that adds great flavor to recipes. I can make a fast, tasty pot of soup in one pan. It's very close to being like a WOK, so great for stir fry too. I like the material this pan is made of as it's very easy care, just rinse. The fact this pan is seasoned makes it a "no-nonsense" pan I can use with no fuss and no food sticking problems.

Gave as a gift to my husband- our neighbor & fellow foodie has quite a few of these pans- I asked him which one he would pick if he could only have one de Buyer pan and this is the one he suggested for my husband- he has used it almost everyday since I gave it to him and he is most impressed- very heavy weight and will get better with age as it becomes more seasoned.

Review 6 for de Buyer Mineral Pan, Saute Pan
If one can love a pan, I love this one. At 82 years of age, I have found a pan that I would not want to cook without. I was a bit worried that it would be too heavy for me, but I have no problem moving it about. After the recommended seasoning, it is stick-free and cooks beautifully. Because it is deep, family size meals can be cooked in it with no problem tossing and turning ingredients, and a meal started on the cook-top can be moved to the oven to finish. I don't have the storage space for it, so I leave it on the cook top, at hand for something as small as an egg to be fried or as large as turkey legs to be braised. Bravo De Buyer!

Will prevent too much spatter when frying or sauteeing. I like the heaviness of the pan. Really sturdy! Also , it can go from range to oven very easily. The long handle w slot for hook makes for easy use & storage, too.

Very good wok. Foods cooked by this wok taste much better than non-iron wok. The only drawback is that it produces more smoke. But for the better tasted foods, it is still worth it.

First start to use my de Buyer Saute Pan for few days. Secend is threw the old non-stick pan away from kitchen windows. Luckly without heard any screech.
Recommend some goods: Clean it for hot water, or with gentle scrub. After that must wipe it dry or up side down for natural dry.

I am very pleased with my choice of the large scale iron pans. The overall quality of the pans was excellent. They look and feel well made and will stand up to my "hard wear and tear" that I give my pans. The instructions were informative and easy to understand. I am sorry to let go of my iron skillets, however, because these are lighter in weight, and just as easy to keep clean, I will do so willingly.

Best addition to my kitchen in years

I wish they'd made these pans years and years ago. They're really that good! The only thing that would improve them is a handle that is an inch shorter and at a more horizontal angle, and a universal lid suggestion (if not lids themselves.) These pans are made to be hung.
Thankfully, I have lids that work, but it's only because of having entirely too many lids already The key is trying to remember which ones actually work.
I suspect the long angled handles will prevent these from fitting into everyone's oven, a nice attribute for finishing sometimes. Nitpickers may not like the tiny plastic (looks like silicone) button at the end of the handle imprinted with the de Buyer logo, possibly not fully ovenproof at super high temperatures. I don't think it matters at all and is a nice little design feature.
Despite the few drawbacks, I absolutely adore these pans.

Although these pans are quite heavy, and are a llittle difficult for me to lift,, they do perform beautifully in cooking. i love being able to cook in something similar to my cast iron frypans, as the results are comparable,, but these pans do not stick! Glad i purchased them!!

I have to say the product was so much bigger than I expected. You could feed an army with the size of this pan. The handle is very long. It is so long it actually reaches over the burner next to it making it difficult on safety issues. The quality is exceptional.. Any prosumer chef would love the mineral pans. You won't go wrong.

Heavy-grade pans, they will last longer than I will, maybe my daughter will get them when I go to The Big House.
A bit difficult to get the factory "oil" off, but finally did.

Once seasoned this pan is fantastic and can be used for whatever. It is deep enough to fry in for sure and it heats very evenly and maintains temperature very well. Angled sides make this usable for wok purposes as well. It is very heavy so make sure and use the second handle. Otherwise a great purchase for the price.

Added the de Buyer 12" Saute pan to my de Buyer collection. Also good for braising because of high sides; helps contain spatter. Love these pans and find myself using them exclusively.
