ZWILLING Forged 11-inch Carbon Steel Fry Pan

The iron pan from ZWILLING is an extraordinary pan that gives you excellent results when searing and grilling. You can now enjoy crispy fried potatoes, juicy steaks and perfectly braised grilled vegetables every day. On the one hand, this is ensured by the material: When cared for properly, iron is very durable and can withstand very high temperatures. You can use the forged pan with a diameter of 11-in on all types of stoves, including induction, on your grill and in the oven. The stable bottom ensures that the pan does not warp. The diamond structure in the bottom improves the non-stick properties and ensures an even more intense flavor.The extra-long handle with slightly rounded edges is comfortable to hold. It also has a hanging loop so you can easily hang up the wrought iron pan. Please note: Since the handle can heat up when frying, you should always hold it with an oven mitten or something similar.When you unpack your new iron pan, you will notice the film of oil on the pan. This is for protection and must be washed off thoroughly with water and washing-up liquid before using it for the first time. Then the iron pan should be seasoned: Simply add some oil to the pan and heat it on your stovetop until all the oil has evaporated. Alternatively, you can also place the pan on your grill. As a third option, you can also season the wrought-iron pan in the oven: Simply brush all over with oil and put in the oven at 480°F.Why season the pan? After that you will see that a black-brownish layer has formed on your wrought iron pan. This is the so-called patina, a natural protective layer that protects your iron pan and has non-stick properties. This layer becomes even more stable with each frying process, so that it protects the pan even better and you need less and less fat for frying. At the same time, this means that you should largely avoid using detergent when washing up. Simply clean your forged pan with hot water and a soft sponge and you will enjoy it for a long time. The patina formation will discolor your iron pan. This is normal and also your aim. The original appearance cannot be restored once the pan has been heated this way.
