Zwilling - Forge 11" Carbon Steel Frying Pan - 1026227

The ZWILLING iron pan is a versatile kitchen essential that unlocks new possibilities for frying. With a 28 cm diameter, this forged pan delivers exceptional results for searing and grilling, making crispy fried potatoes, juicy steaks, and perfectly braised vegetables effortless. Before first use, the protective oil coating must be washed off with dish soap, and the pan should be seasoned to create a natural patina. This protective layer improves with every use, preventing food from sticking and reducing the need for excess oil. Over time, the pan develops its characteristic brown-black hue, enhancing both performance and durability.

Designed with a diamond-patterned base, the pan ensures even heat distribution for intensified flavors and prevents warping at high temperatures. Its sturdy construction makes it perfect for searing meats and grilling vegetables, while its compatibility with induction, all stovetops, ovens, and grills makes it a truly adaptable cooking tool. For safe handling, always use an oven mitt, as the handle can become hot during cooking. With proper care, this iron pan will become an indispensable part of your kitchen for years to come. Seasoning the pan gives it a natural “coating” (patina), which improves with each use. However, the patina formation will discolor your iron pan. This is normal and also your aim. The original appearance cannot be restored once the pan has been heated this way.
