Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel 12 Frying Pan Skillet, Induction Compatible

Renowned by chefs worldwide, BK Black Steel is a cookware material that is highly prized for its exceptional browning and searing capabilities, as well as its lightweight nature in comparison to cast iron. Its heat responsiveness is superior to that of cast iron, leading to faster, more even heating. Furthermore, with each use, these skillets improve in quality, developing a natural layer of patina that enhances their nonstick properties and durability, making them virtually indestructible.

Honored with the 2019 Red Dot Award for design, BK Black Steel is crafted from hot-rolled black steel, which is three times denser than aluminum and even stronger and more durable than traditional grey carbon steel. With a thickness of 2mm, these skillets are designed to conduct heat exceptionally well and are built to last for generations. Additionally, they are highly resistant to corrosion, damage, and stains due to a high-temperature black iron oxide layer, and are safe for use with metal utensils. The skillets also feature coated cast iron handles that are securely attached with rivets and shaped for comfort.

BK Black Steel is naturally pre-seasoned with oil during the production process and ships with a thin silicone wax coating that is easy to remove, leaving the pan ready to use after a quick wash with soap. Cleaning is simple, requiring only hot water, wiping, and drying.

The history of BK dates back to 1851, when coppersmith Hendrik Berk of Kampen, Holland, began creating cookware such as milk churns, pots, and pans. Over time, he added a protective layer of enamel to his steel pans and tins, introducing the world to the first enameled steel Dutch oven. This innovation laid the foundation for BK, which continues to prioritize high quality and innovative engineering in cookware. BK's success culminated in 1951 when Queen Juliana awarded them the Royal predicate, recognizing their prominent position in the field. Since 1851, BK has been known as the Royal Founder of the Dutch oven and is esteemed worldwide for its heritage of innovation.

With its superior density, corrosion resistance, and pre-seasoned nature, BK Black Steel is a long-lasting and reliable option for any cooking enthusiast. Its ability to develop a natural nonstick patina over time makes it a pan for life, providing exceptional results without the hassle. Additionally, it is safe for use with metal utensils and can withstand oven temperatures of up to 600°F.
