BK Cookware Carbon Steel Frying Pan 12 in

Celebrated by chefs everywhere, carbon steel provides exceptional browning and searing, weighs a fraction of cast iron, is more heat sensitive than cast iron for faster, more uniform heating and best of all that gets better with each application. Every time you use these remarkable frying pans they darken forming a layer of patina that naturally improves their durability and non-stick properties – they are virtually indestructible. Bk Black Steel is robust, lightweight and winner of the Red Dot Award 2019 for design. Three times denser than aluminum, hot-rolled black steel is even stronger and more durable than traditional grey carbon steel, and with a thickness of 2 mm, these pans have been designed to conduct heat incredibly well and hold for generations. They are extremely resistant to corrosion, damage and stains thanks to a high temperature black oxide layer and are safe for use with metal utensils. The coated cast iron handles are securely riveted and shaped for comfort. Bk Black Steel is naturally pre-treated with oil during the production process. This cookware comes with a thin silicone wax coating which is much easier to remove than a thick layer of beeswax or grease, so it is ready to use after a quick clean with soap. Easy to clean, simply pour on hot water, wipe down and then dry. Bk has a rich history of innovation. In 1851, coppersmiths Hendrik Berk was commissioned by Kampen, Holland by local residents and companies to make milk jugs, pots, pans and other cooking utensils. Forty years later, he added a protective layer of enamel to his steel pans and cans and introduced the world in the first Dutch oven made of enamelled steel. This laid the basis for BK, which continues to bring high quality and innovative technology to their approach to cookware. Bks Crown Performance came to them in 1951 when Queen Juliana awarded them the Royal Predications – a title only awarded to organizations who have an outstanding position in their field.

Carbon steel weighs a fraction of cast iron and is more heat-responsive for quicker heat-up and cooldown while providing the same great searing results as cast iron
