Know before you buy
Carbon steel offers the same excellent heat retention and searing capabilities as cast iron but is significantly lighter and more responsive to temperature changes. This makes it easier to maneuver on the stovetop while still providing the durability needed for high-heat cooking.
No, the pan arrives pre-seasoned and is ready for immediate use. Over time, you will continue to build up the seasoning with regular cooking, which will further enhance the pan's naturally nonstick surface.
Yes, the carbon steel construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and even open flame heat sources.
No, this pan must be hand washed to preserve its seasoning. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and high heat will strip the protective layer and lead to rusting.
This pan is incredibly heat-resistant and is safe to use in ovens or on grills at temperatures up to 1200°F.
After cooking, hand wash the pan with warm water and a mild soap if needed, then dry it thoroughly immediately to prevent rust. Applying a very light coating of oil after drying will help maintain the seasoning and keep the surface in top condition.
