The uncoated carbon steel frying pan, made in Switzerland, is ideally suited for searing pieces of meat (beef, pork, veal). They are also popular with all who appreciate hearty Swiss hash browns (Rosti). Carbon steel is a robust material and has good heat storage capacity as well as uniform heat distribution. Thus, the heat is evenly distributed over the entire cooking surface of the pan to the food to be cooked - a guarantee for a balanced cooking result. Your meat and potatoes will be crispy and thanks to the Black Star pan, the meat remains beautifully juicy inside. Use & Care: After washing, dry the pan right away and then rub the inside with a little vegetable oil to prevent rusting. To remove any rust build up, use water and a drop of mild detergent on a gentle scrubber. Rinse, then dry immediately. Do not soak the pan in water.
