Paderno Heavy-Duty Carbon Steel Pans

Paderno's Heavy Duty Carbon Steel pans are robust, professional-grade workhorses built for durability and exceptional cooking performance. Made from a similar iron and carbon alloy as the black steel line, these pans are significantly thicker, ranging from 2.5mm to 3mm. This added thickness provides superior heat retention and more even heat distribution, minimizing hot spots. While they initially have a polished "silver" finish, this is purely cosmetic and the pan will darken with seasoning and use, developing the same desirable natural non-stick properties as other carbon steel pans. These pans are designed to withstand high temperatures and intensive use.

Key Characteristics:

• Superior Heat Retention & Even Heating: Takes longer to heat up, but holds heat very well and distributes it evenly

• Heavier Weight: More substantial and stable on the cooktop

• Natural Non-Stick: Achieves a durable non-stick surface through seasoning with oil

• Extreme Durability: Built for intensive, long-term use and resistant to warping

• High Heat Tolerance: Excellent for searing, grilling, and browning foods at high temperatures

• Versatility: Suitable for all cooktops, including induction; oven & broiler safe
