BK Black Steel Carbon Steel 12 Frying Pan Skillet

Celebrated by chefs worldwide, carbon steel offers exceptional browning and searing capabilities, weighing a fraction of cast iron, and boasting faster, more even heating responsiveness compared to cast iron. Remarkably, these skillets only improve with each use, as they develop a layer of natural patina that enhances their durability and nonstick properties, making them virtually indestructible.

BK Black Steel, the winner of the 2019 Red Dot Award for design, is a testament to the brand's rich history of innovation. Tracing its roots back to 1851, when coppersmith Hendrik Berk of Kampen, Holland, was commissioned to create various cooking utensils, BK later introduced the world to the first enameled steel Dutch oven, laying the foundation for the company's commitment to high-quality and innovative engineering.

The crowning achievement of BK's legacy came in 1951 when Queen Juliana awarded the company the Royal predicate, a prestigious title granted only to organizations that hold a prominent position in their field. Since then, BK has solidified its reputation as the Royal Founder of the Dutch oven, renowned worldwide for its heritage of innovation.

Boasting a thickness of 2mm, BK Black Steel skillets are designed to conduct heat incredibly well and last for generations. Three times denser than aluminum, the hot-rolled black steel used in these skillets is even stronger and more durable than traditional gray carbon steel, making them extremely resistant to corrosion, damage, and stains.

Featuring a high-temperature black iron oxide layer, these skillets are safe for use with metal utensils, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable cooking experience. The coated cast iron handles are securely attached with rivets and shaped for maximum comfort during use.

The pre-seasoning with oil during the production process gives BK Black Steel an inherent nonstick quality, further enhanced by the development of a natural patina layer with each use. Additionally, the skillets come with a thin silicone wax coating that is much easier to remove than a thick layer of beeswax or grease, allowing for a quick wash with soap before the first use.

Cleaning these skillets is a breeze, as it simply requires pouring on hot water, wiping, and drying. The heat-responsive design of BK Black Steel provides the same great searing results as cast iron, without the hassle, making it a superior choice for home and professional chefs alike.

Oven-safe up to 600°F, BK Black Steel skillets are built to withstand the demands of the modern kitchen, delivering exceptional performance, durability, and a heritage of innovation that sets them apart from the competition.
