Babish Blue Steel Fry Pan, 12-inch

When it's crunch time to prepare dinner, the Babish 12-inch Blue Steel Frying Pan is the G.O.A.T that gets the job done. This high-quality frying pan is made of heat-treated blue steel, which allows for rapid and even heating, making it perfect for sautéing, stir-frying, and any cooking style. The carbon steel construction also forms a protective rust-resistant layer over time, making it naturally nonstick and easy to use and clean.

The frying pan comes with a double-riveted stainless steel handle, ensuring a secure grip when tossing and frying. It is safe to use on the grill, as well as on gas, electric, ceramic, glass, and induction stoves, and can withstand oven temperatures up to 500°F. However, it is recommended to handwash the pan only.

To season the carbon steel pan, there are two methods that can be used: the stove method and the oven method. For the stove method, the pan should be washed with warm soapy water, dried, and then heated to ensure thorough drying. Oil of choice should then be applied around the interior and exterior of the pan with a paper towel and heated until smoking. The pan should then be allowed to cool quickly.

For the oven method, a foil-lined baking sheet should be placed in the bottom rack of the oven before preheating it to 475-500°F. The pan should be washed, dried, and oiled as in the stove method, then placed upside down on the rack above the foil-lined baking sheet and left in the oven for an hour. After an hour, the oven should be turned off, and the pan left in the oven until it is cool to the touch.

The Babish 12-inch Blue Steel Frying Pan efficiently absorbs oil to build a naturally nonstick capability for easy food release and cleanup. It is also metal utensil safe and free from PTFE, PFOA, PFAS, lead, and cadmium. Check out the Babish Brand Store to shop the rest of the collection!
