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 12.5-inch Black Steel Frying Pan
Crowding is what keeps a home cook from getting a good sear. When four steaks or a pound of mushrooms share a pan too small for them, the moisture they release has nowhere to go and the food steams. A 12.5-inch black steel pan gives each piece room, so it browns.This is the size for a family meal or for cooks who entertain, and it is wide enough to pan-roast a whole spatchcocked chicken. Black steel stores heat well, recovers quickly after cold food goes in, and grows more nonstick as its seasoning builds.Paderno or Matfer?Both are thick black steel. Paderno rivets its handles to the pan wall, while Matfer Bourgeat welds them; if baking in the pan is part of the plan, Matfer is the one we recommend. For searing and sautéing on the stovetop, Paderno comes in at a better price than either Matfer or Made In.Need more capacity? The 14.125-inch is the next size up. For one or two people, the 9.5-inch is easier to handle. Learn More$47.20
