Babish Blue Steel Fry Pan, 12-inch

When it comes to crunch time in the kitchen, the Babish 12-inch Blue Steel Frying Pan is the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) for getting the job done. With its exceptional performance in delivering outstanding texture and flavors, this pan is a standout choice.

The high-quality blue steel construction of the pan heats up rapidly and evenly, making it perfect for a variety of cooking techniques, from sautéing to stir-frying. Over time, the carbon steel forms a protective rust-resistant layer that is naturally nonstick, ensuring effortless food release and easy cleanup.

The pan comes equipped with a double-riveted stainless steel handle, providing 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 is oven-safe up to 500°F. For easy maintenance, the pan is hand-wash only.

To properly season the carbon steel, there are two methods to choose from: the stove method and the oven method.

Stove Method: 1. Wash the pan with warm, soapy water, then dry it thoroughly with a towel. 2. Place the pan on the stovetop and heat it to ensure it is completely dried. 3. Once dry, use a paper towel to apply a light coating of oil of your choice around the interior and exterior of the pan. You can also continue to rub the pan with a hand towel to ensure the oil is evenly distributed. 4. Place the pan back on the stovetop and heat it until it starts to smoke. 5. Be sure to also heat the sides of the pan over the flame to ensure the entire surface area is heated. 6. Once the pan is smoking, turn off the heat and allow it to cool quickly.

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 and dry it thoroughly with a towel. 4. Once the pan is dry, use a paper towel to apply a light coating of oil of your choice around the interior and exterior of the pan. You can also continue to rub the pan with a hand towel to ensure the oil is evenly distributed. 5. Place the pan upside down on the rack above the foil-lined baking sheet. 6. Leave the pan in the oven for an hour. After an hour, turn off the oven but leave the pan inside until it is cool to the touch.

The Babish 12-inch Blue Steel Frying Pan is a must-have for any home chef or professional cook. Its heat-treated blue steel construction, easy-to-season and maintain nature, and versatility make it a reliable and high-performing addition to any kitchen.
