Hello,
Was very excited to received my first 28cm De Buyer Mineral B carbon steel pan today. I seasoned it for the first time according to the instructions on the booklet.
With 1mm oil I heated it up using medium-high heat. Let it sit on the stove for a new minutes before removing.
Well the bottom of the pan is now mostly black.
I suppose it's normal for the bottom to turn black after some use, but is it normal after the first use?
The inside of the pan is still quite silver. I can only see some brown lines/marks where the oil level was at around the sides of the pan.
Did I do it right?
Also the beeswax coating was invisible. I could not feel it. I scrubbed it with very hot water again as per instructions but didn't feel like I removed anything. Is the wax coating suppose to be thick enough so you can feel it? i.e. gently run a knife across it.
Many thanks
