How to choose the right carbon steel pan
When choosing which carbon steel pans to buy, you need to look at the size. If you're cooking for one or two, a 20 or 24 cm carbon steel pan is perfect, or if you're cooking smaller quantities. If you're making larger portions or cooking for more people, we recommend a 28 cm carbon steel pan. For the greatest flexibility, we have a set with both sizes, where you also get the carbon steel pans at a discount.
Maintenance of carbon steel
Carbon steel should be coated in a layer of oil before first use, also known as seasoning. This is to protect against rust and to provide a natural nonstick effect. Over time, more and more oil is burned into the pan and the natural nonstick effect gets better and better over time.
To protect the seasoning, it is not recommended to wash a carbon steel with soap. Wiping the pan or griddle with a paper towel will often be enough. If you've never had carbon steel before, maintaining it may seem a bit complicated, but we promise: Once you get started, it's quite easy.
