De Buyer 5618.32 Details

Boost the performance of your kitchen for generations with this de Buyer Mineral B Element 12 9/16" carbon steel wok with helper handle! Absolutely perfect for making stir fries, fried rice, and chow mein, this wok only gets better with time. Simply season before using it for the first time and it will gradually become more seasoned and develop non-stick properties after each and every use. Not to mention, it works with any type of cooking surface, including induction. Just make sure to only hand wash this wok by deglazing, rinsing under warm water, drying, and finally lightly oiling it before its next use.

More heat conductive than stainless steel and lighter than cast iron cookware, de Buyer's Mineral B Element line is built with durable carbon steel that's made from 99% iron and 1% carbon. Each piece comes coated in natural beeswax in order to protect against oxidation, so there is no need to ever worry about your cookware arriving with rust. The beeswax finish is completely mess free as it won't drip or pool and it also helps to facilitate the progressive seasoning of the wok over time. This wok, like every other item in the Mineral B Element collection, also features riveted, epoxy coated stainless steel French handles. The main one is even built with a hanging hole for easy storage and organization.

Crafting high quality products since 1830, almost all of de Buyer's cookware is manufactured directly out of their factory in the Vosges region of France. Passion is poured into each item in order to allow equally passionate chefs to thrive in the kitchen. Be sure to mix and match this piece with others in the de Buyer Mineral B Element collection (sold separately) in order to bring both tradition and functionality to your kitchen that can last for lifetimes.

Attention CA Residents:

Customer questions about this product

Can de Buyer Mineral B Element carbon steel cookware be used in the oven?

While these items are oven safe, they are only meant to go in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and only for 10 minutes at a time.

Can I use a lid on my de Buyer Mineral B Element / Pro cookware?

We don't recommend using a lid with these items as it will steam and can cause a metallic taste to infuse the food.

How is the top diameter measured in frying pans and woks, and how accurate is this measurement?

The top diameter is the measurement across the pan, from the interior of one side of the rim to the other. These measurements are approximate because many frying pans and woks have a curved upper rim, making precise measurement difficult. The standard naming convention uses top diameter, so while multiple brands may offer a 10" pan, there may be slight variations in size between each brand's 10" pan or wok.

My item arrived with a thin layer of oil. What is the purpose of this oil, and is the item ready for immediate use?

Some carbon steel pans and woks are shipped with a protective oil coating to prevent rusting before their first use. They should be thoroughly washed with warm, soapy water to remove the oil and then properly seasoned before use.

What's the difference between a riveted and a welded handle?

A riveted handle is connected by small metal pieces (called rivets) that are crushed between the handle and the pan body to attach them together. This type of handle is more common on copper and aluminum cookware.

For a handle to be welded, the metal must first be melted and then adhered to the pan body. This creates a strong bond that leaves little to no space in between, so bacteria and other food crumbs can’t collect and cause sanitation issues. Both are long lasting solutions for fry and sauce pan handles because they are durable and can withstand heat.
