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.

Paderno 7.125-inch Black Steel Frying Pan
The smallest pan in Paderno’s black steel line is for jobs measured in spoonfuls. Toasting cumin or sesame seeds, browning a few tablespoons of butter and frying one egg all go better in a pan this size, because the thin layer of food does not spread out and burn at the edges.Black steel has little mass at this diameter, so it heats in seconds and responds as soon as the flame changes. It arrives unseasoned and turns darker and more nonstick the more it is used. The handle is riveted through the side wall. If you plan to bake in carbon steel, we recommend Matfer Bourgeat black steel pans, whose handles are welded; for stovetop cooking, Paderno comes in at a lower price than Matfer or Made In.Choosing a SizeThe 7.875-inch gives room for two eggs. The 9.5-inch is the everyday size for one or two people, the 12.5-inch serves a family, and the 14.125-inch handles large batches. Learn More$21.20 -
Paderno 7.875-inch Black Steel Frying Pan
Breakfast cooks buy this size. At 7.875 inches across, it holds two eggs or a one-person omelet with enough room to work a spatula underneath, and it is small enough to keep on the stove all morning.It also suits the first step of many recipes, such as blooming whole spices in oil or softening a minced shallot before it goes into a sauce. Black steel responds quickly to the burner, and the more it is cooked in, the more easily eggs release from the seasoned surface.Paderno rivets the handle to the pan wall. Bakers who want to take carbon steel into the oven are better served by the welded handles on Matfer Bourgeat black steel pans. On the stovetop, the Paderno line does the same work and costs less than Matfer or Made In.Other SizesGo down to the 7.125-inch for spices and butter alone, or up to the 9.5-inch, 12.5-inch or 14.125-inch for full meals.
