Mauviel M'Steel Black Carbon Nonstick Frying Pan, 11-in, Suitable For All Surfaces, Made in France

Mauviel, the renowned copper cookware manufacturer in France, presents M'steel, a collection of frying pans and crepe pans made of extra-thick Black Steel with riveted steel handles. The Black Steel, a carbon steel material, is an excellent heat conductor and extremely durable. It withstands high temperatures, allowing for longer preheating and thus excellent searing.

M'steel is designed to work on all cooktops, including induction, and metal utensils are safe to use. Prior to first use, the pan should be cleaned with very hot water to remove the beeswax used to prevent rusting and save time when seasoning. If any wax residue is noticed, a paper towel should be used to wipe the hot pan clean.

For seasoning, the bottom of the pan should be covered with flavorless oil and heated for 5 minutes. The pan should then be allowed to cool before draining the oil and wiping it clean with paper towels. This process should be repeated a second time, and the pan will be ready for use. After this process, the pan will acquire a natural nonstick property.

After cooking, the pan should be washed in hot water, wiped with a soft sponge, and thoroughly dried. Dish soap should not be used, and the black layer that forms at the bottom of the pan should not be removed, as it will create a solid, nonstick surface. Thorough drying is essential to prevent rusting, and the pan should be stored in a dry area.

The pan will darken with use, creating a naturally nonstick surface. Mauviel is the leading cookware manufacturer for professional and household chefs throughout the world, known for its excellent heat conduction and commercial-grade durability.

The Black Steel, or carbon steel, used in M'steel is an ideal material for searing, browning, and grilling, as it rises in temperature very quickly. The rivets on the pan are made of stainless steel 18/10, adding to the high performance and durability of the product.

Before first use, it is recommended to season the pan according to the manufacturer's instructions. This process will help build up the natural nonstick property of the pan, which will continue to improve with use.

M'steel pans are not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed immediately after use. Metal utensils should not be used on the nonstick cooking surface, and the use of scouring pads, steel wool, abrasive cleaners, bleach, and/or oven cleaners is not recommended, as they can scratch or damage the cookware.

Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity of M'steel pans. After use, the pan should be washed with hot water and wiped immediately with a paper towel. Before storing, it should be greased with a little olive oil to prevent rust. With this preparation, the pan will remain faithful for many years.

It is important to note that M'steel pans have excellent heat conductivity, so cooktop knobs or controls should be used at a 60% capacity to avoid overheating. High heat should not be used for an extended period, and the pan should not be left empty on a heated burner. The pans are oven-safe up to 680°F.

The M'steel 11-inch frying pan has a diameter of 11 inches and a height of 5.3 inches, making it a versatile and durable addition to any kitchen.
