Overview
A carbon steel body with round edges and a steel handle is the whole build of this French omelette pan. The surface carries a washable beeswax layer that acts as its natural nonstick finish.
A purpose-built egg pan made in France, aimed at breakfast dishes. The coating is natural beeswax and needs gentle handling, so the care routine is part of the deal. The heat limit is low enough that heavy browning belongs on another pan.
Who it's for
Home cooks who make omelettes or other egg dishes and are happy to look after carbon steel. Those wanting a large family-size pan, or one that goes in the dishwasher, will find the size and care rules limiting.
Pros and cons
- Carbon steel body
- Natural beeswax nonstick coating
- Works on induction, gas and electric
- Round edges suit egg dishes
- Hand wash only
- Temperature ceiling below searing heat
- Small capacity for large batches
- Oven safety not stated
Performance notes
The beeswax coating is the nonstick layer, and it is washable. The temperature ceiling exists to protect it, so high-heat cooking should go elsewhere. Round edges let the eggs slide toward the rim of the pan for folding or turning out.
