The De Buyer pancake pan, specially designed for frying thin, evenly cooked pancakes and crepes, is a favorite among professional chefs and home cooks alike. Made of blued or carbon steel, this pan is known for its excellent heat conduction and distribution, which is essential for achieving perfectly golden brown pancakes with a soft, fluffy texture.

A distinctive feature of the De Buyer pancake pan is its low rim, which makes it easy to flip and turn pancakes and crepes smoothly without breaking. The pan should be fired before first use, a process that helps develop a natural, nonstick patina that improves with time and use.
