ZWILLING Forged 11-inch Carbon Steel Fry Pan

The forged iron pan from ZWILLING is an extraordinary piece that delivers excellent results when searing and grilling. With this pan, you can now enjoy crispy fried potatoes, juicy steaks, and perfectly braised grilled vegetables every day. This performance is ensured by the material itself - when properly cared for, iron is highly durable and can withstand very high temperatures. You can use the 11-inch diameter pan on all types of stoves, including induction, as well as on your grill and in the oven. The stable bottom prevents warping, while the diamond structure improves non-stick properties and ensures a more intense flavor.

The extra-long, slightly rounded handle is comfortable to hold, and it also has a hanging loop for easy storage. However, please note that the handle can heat up during frying, so you should always use an oven mitt or similar when handling the pan.

When you unpack your new iron pan, you'll notice a film of oil on the surface. This is for protection and must be washed off thoroughly with water and dish soap before using it for the first time. After that, the pan should be seasoned. This can be done by simply adding some oil to the pan and heating it on the stovetop until the oil has evaporated. Alternatively, you can season the pan on your grill or in the oven at 480°F.

Seasoning the pan creates a black-brownish patina, a natural protective layer that provides non-stick properties. This layer becomes stronger with each use, better protecting the pan and requiring less and less fat for frying. As a result, you should avoid using detergent when washing the pan. Instead, simply clean it with hot water and a soft sponge, and you'll enjoy your forged pan for a long time.

The patina formation will discolor your iron pan, but this is normal and the desired effect. The original appearance cannot be restored once the pan has been heated in this way.

In summary, this durable, sturdy pan made of high-quality iron provides excellent cooking performance. The seasoning process creates a natural "coating" (patina) that improves with each use, enabling healthy frying with little oil. The diamond structure in the bottom ensures intense flavor and improved non-stick properties, and the pan is suitable for all types of stoves, including induction, as well as for grilling and oven use.
