Blue Carbon Steel
Blue Carbon Steel is a type of cooking material that combines the best qualities of Stainless Steel and Cast Iron. It's nearly half the weight of Cast Iron while providing all of its non stick properties, and has the heat control and heat retention of Stainless Steel.
The Satake frying pan is made of light weight carbon steel with a hammered surface to spread the heat efficiently and evenly and reduce hot spots. It has a versatile design and is perfect for all kinds of frying, fish, meat and vegetables. As the frying pan is thinner and much lighter than cast iron, it's easier to maneuver on the stove and has a comfortable handle in stainless steel with a hole at the top for easy hanging. This item is suitable for all types of hobs, including induction and in the oven. The pan is pre-treated and does not need to be seasoned (burned in.)
The pan can withstand oven temperatures of up to 250° / 480°F and has equivalent properties to cast iron, but with the advantage of lower weight. As it is thinner, the carbon steel can move during heating and cooling, therefore it is natural and normal for the pans to warp a little. It does not affect the good qualities or cooking ability of the pan. However; to reduce the warping effect, turn heat up slowly and use a hob close to the size of the pan bottom.
Satake Carbon steel pans are pre-seasoned and ready for use after a first wash; boil water in the pan for a few minutes. Clean the pan with a sponge and a small amount of detergent. Rinse and dry well. The pans natural nonstick function gets better and better the more you use the pan.
