Know before you buy
The pan comes pre-seasoned with a natural oil finish, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, like all carbon steel cookware, the nonstick properties will continue to improve as you cook with it and build up a patina over time.
No, this specific model is compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic glass stovetops only. It is not designed for use on induction cooktops.
To maintain the seasoning, hand wash the pan with warm water and a mild soap if necessary, then dry it thoroughly immediately to prevent rust. It is recommended to lightly coat the surface with a thin layer of oil before storing it in a dry place.
Yes, the 15-inch diameter provides a generous surface area, making it ideal for cooking paella or large-batch meals for approximately 4 to 6 people.
Yes, the pan is oven safe up to 350°F. This makes it perfect for finishing dishes that require a final blast of heat or keeping your meal warm before serving.
Yes, because the handles are made of carbon steel, they will heat up along with the pan. Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant handle covers when moving the pan on the stovetop or removing it from the oven.
