Know before you buy
Yes, this carbon steel pan requires regular seasoning to build up a non-stick patina and prevent rust. Just like cast iron, you should coat it with a thin layer of oil after cleaning and heat it periodically to maintain its performance.
No, this pan is hand-wash only. Dishwashers will strip away the seasoning you've worked to build and can cause the carbon steel to rust.
The handle is designed to detach easily, which is a major space-saver when storing the pan in crowded cabinets or grill tool drawers. It also makes it safer to transport the pan from the kitchen to the grill.
The perforations are designed to allow smoke and heat to circulate while keeping most standard-sized vegetables and proteins contained. However, very small items like cherry tomatoes or diced garlic might slip through, so you may want to keep those in a separate foil packet or use a grill basket with finer mesh.
Absolutely. It is constructed from durable carbon steel and is grill-safe up to 660°F, making it perfect for high-heat searing and roasting directly over your grill's heat source.
