Paderno 9.5-inch Black Steel Frying Pan

If you are buying one black steel pan for a household of one or two, this is the size. A 9.5-inch surface takes a thick pork chop, two chicken thighs skin side down, or a pair of eggs with room to spare, and it is light enough to toss vegetables with a flick of the wrist.

Black steel holds enough heat to sear well and develops a seasoned, slick surface over the first weeks of use. Customers most often ask how to season it; the steps are below. Note that the handle is riveted to the pan.

Those who want to bake cornbread or tarte Tatin in carbon steel should look at Matfer Bourgeat black steel pans, which have welded handles. For stovetop cooking, Paderno is the lower-priced alternative to Matfer and Made In.

Other Sizes

    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.
