Paderno Black Steel Fry Pans
Paderno Black Steel Fry pans are a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike for their ability to perform extremely well under high heat and their acquired natural non-stick qualities. Characterized by a traditional French Lyon shape which provides a generous cooking surface, Paderno Frying Pans are a durable and versatile tool that perform beautifully whether you're sauteeing vegetables, frying eggs, or searing steak. The Black Steel line of pans are crafted from an alloy of approximately 99% iron and 1% carbon, resulting in a lighter-weight yet sturdy pan. The "black" finish is the result of a heat treatment process that provides some initial, temporary protection against oxidation. These pans are designed to be excellent heat conductors, heating up and cooling down quickly for responsive cooking. With proper seasoning, they develop a natural nonstick surface that is PFOA and PTFE-free. Unlike stainless steel cookware, the finish of a carbon steel pan improves with every use.
