Paderno 12.5-inch Carbon Steel Frying Pan
Cooks who find a 12-inch cast iron skillet too heavy to lift with one hand often move to carbon steel. This 12.5-inch Paderno pan has room for several chicken thighs or a large batch of greens, and its sloped sides let you toss food and slide it onto a plate.Carbon steel heats faster than cast iron and changes temperature soon after the burner does. It needs seasoning before first use and gets slicker as it is used; the steps are in the details below.Choosing Between Paderno’s Steel PansThis is Paderno’s lighter carbon steel line. If you want a heavier pan that holds more heat for searing steaks, the 12.5-inch Black Steel Frying Pan is the same diameter in thicker steel. For eggs and single portions, the 8.625-inch Carbon Steel Frying Pan is the smaller size. Learn More$59.30
