Babish Blue Steel Fry Pan, 12-inch

When it comes to crunch time dinner prep, the Babish 12-inch Blue Steel Frying Pan is the G.O.A.T. to get the job done. Its high-quality blue steel construction heats up rapidly and evenly, making it perfect for sautéing, stir-frying, or any cooking style. Over time, the carbon steel forms a protective rust-resistant layer that is naturally nonstick, ensuring exceptional texture and flavors.

The pan features a double-riveted stainless steel handle, providing a sure grip when tossing and frying. It is safe to use on the grill and on gas, electric, ceramic, glass, and induction stoves, as well as oven-safe up to 500°F. However, it should be hand-washed only.

To season the carbon steel pan using the stove method, follow these steps: 1. Wash the pan with warm soapy water, dry it thoroughly with a towel, and then place it on the stovetop to ensure it is completely dry. 2. Once the pan is dry, use the oil of your choice and a paper towel to apply it to the interior and exterior of the pan. You can also rub the pan with a hand towel to ensure the oil is evenly coated throughout. 3. Place the pan back on the stove and heat it until it starts smoking. Be sure to heat the sides of the pan over the flame to ensure the entire surface area is heated. 4. Once the pan is smoking, turn off the heat and allow it to cool quickly.

Alternatively, you can season the carbon steel pan using the oven method: 1. Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the bottom rack of your oven. 2. Preheat the oven to 475°F to 500°F. 3. While the oven is preheating, wash the pan with warm soapy water, dry it thoroughly with a towel, and then place it on the stovetop to ensure it is completely dry. 4. Once the pan is dry, use the oil of your choice and a paper towel to apply it to the interior and exterior of the pan. You can also rub the pan with a hand towel to ensure the oil is evenly coated throughout. 5. Place the pan upside down on the rack above the foil-lined baking sheet and leave it in the oven for an hour. 6. After an hour, turn off the oven but leave the pan in there until it is cool to the touch.

The Babish 12-inch Blue Steel Frying Pan is heat-treated for better corrosion and stain resistance, making it easy to season and maintain. It efficiently absorbs oil to build a naturally nonstick capability for easy food release and cleanup. The pan is PTFE, PFOA, PFAS, lead, and cadmium-free, ensuring safe and reliable cooking.
