Your Questions Answered
Carbon steel frying pans offer excellent heat conductivity, making them ideal for searing, browning, and frying. They are lightweight, durable, and develop a natural non-stick patina over time with proper seasoning.
To season your carbon steel frying pan, clean it thoroughly, apply a thin layer of oil, and heat it until the oil smokes. This process creates a protective layer that enhances the pan's non-stick properties and prevents rust.
The blue tint on a carbon steel frying pan is a result of the manufacturing process called "blueing," which provides a layer of protection against rust. This tint will gradually fade as the pan develops its seasoning.
After cooking, clean your carbon steel frying pan with hot water and a soft sponge. Avoid using soap or abrasive materials. Dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rusting.
