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, the classic French skillet shape, 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 Pans

This 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.

    Care

    • Hand wash with hot water and a brush or soft sponge. The pan is not dishwasher safe.
    • Dry it right away, over low heat if possible, and wipe a very light coat of oil on the interior before storing.
    • Long simmers of acidic ingredients, such as tomatoes, wine or citrus, can strip the seasoning. Use stainless steel for those dishes.

    Common Questions

    How do I season it? Wash and dry the pan, wipe a thin film of neutral, high smoke point oil over the interior, and heat it until the oil just begins to smoke. Let it cool, wipe out any excess, and repeat two or three times. The seasoning then builds with every use, fastest with searing and shallow frying.
