FAQs
Can I use this pan on an induction hob?
No, this carbon steel pan is not designed for induction stovetops, as it requires a direct gas flame or high-heat outdoor source.
How many people can this 60cm pan feed?
This pan is designed to serve between 9 and 16 people depending on portion sizes.
Will the pan change color during use?
Yes, carbon steel develops a dark, seasoned patina over time. This is normal and actually helps improve the non-stick properties.
Can I use metal utensils in this pan?
Yes, unlike non-stick cookware, carbon steel is durable enough to withstand metal spatulas and spoons.
What is the best way to clean it?
Wash by hand using hot water and a brush. Avoid harsh detergents and never soak the pan, as this will lead to rust.
Troubleshooting
The pan has developed rust spots.
Scrub the rusted area with steel wool, wash with water, dry immediately, and re-season the pan with oil over high heat.
Food is sticking to the surface.
The pan likely needs a better seasoning layer. Ensure you are using enough fat during cooking and follow the re-seasoning process after every wash.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent heat distribution for authentic crust (socarrat) formation
- Extremely durable construction suitable for high-heat environments
- Large capacity ideal for parties and large gatherings
- Natural material avoids the chemical coatings found in non-stick pans
Cons
- Requires manual hand-washing and seasoning to maintain condition
- Susceptible to oxidation if stored while damp
- Large size may be difficult to fit in standard household ovens or sinks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, you must wash the pan with hot soapy water to remove the factory protective coating. After drying it thoroughly, apply a thin layer of cooking oil over the entire surface and heat it over a burner until it smokes slightly; this initial 'seasoning' creates a natural patina. For ongoing maintenance, never put the pan in the dishwasher. After each use, hand-wash with warm water, dry immediately, and coat the surface with a light layer of oil before storing in a dry environment. The pan is fully compatible with gas burners and open fires but is generally not recommended for induction stovetops.
