Know before you buy
Blue steel is a type of carbon steel that offers superior heat conductivity, allowing for a more even bake and better crust development. Unlike nonstick coatings, it is a durable, professional-grade material that will not peel or flake over time.
Yes, because it is made of raw blue steel, it is not dishwasher safe and must be hand-washed and dried immediately to prevent rust. You will also need to season the pan before its first use and occasionally re-season it to maintain its natural nonstick properties.
This is a full-size sheet, which is quite large. Before purchasing, please measure the interior of your oven to ensure it can accommodate a 23-inch by 15-inch pan with enough clearance for proper airflow.
While this sheet is excellent for high-temperature baking and roasting, it is not broiler safe. The intense, direct heat of a broiler can cause the steel to warp or damage the seasoning.
No, it is not nonstick when new. You must season the steel by coating it with a thin layer of oil and heating it in the oven to create a protective, nonstick patina that improves with every use.
