Why Carbon Steel

Gets better every time you cook.

High-heat searing

Build crisp edges and deep crusts on proteins and vegetables.

A patina that improves

Cooking and seasoning gradually create a slicker surface.

Responsive control

Heats and adjusts faster than heavy cast iron.

Como temperar uma frigideira de aço carbono?

Para temperar uma frigideira de aço carbono, limpe-a completamente, aplique uma camada fina de óleo e aqueça até o óleo começar a soltar fumaça. Esse processo deve ser repetido várias vezes para formar uma camada protetora e antiaderente.

Por que os chefs preferem frigideiras de aço carbono?

Uma frigideira de aço carbono vai enferrujar, e como você pode prevenir isso?
