The material

The heavy gauge steel frypan is the queen of French Gastronomy since almost 150 years. The black iron pans are perfect for sealing, frying and browning (steaks, pancakes, omelets, fried potatoes...).
The black iron frypan uses the closely guarded secret of the Maillard reaction. Meat grilled in this great gastronomic classic retains its flavour while acquiring a fine browned appearance. This is because the Maillard reaction, which only takes place at temperatures above 145°C and caramelises the natural sugar of the meat.
The meat is caramelised and browned on the outside when it is sealed. It can then continue to cook on a low heat without losing its humidity. This closes the pores and steams the inner part of the meat. As a result, the inside remains soft and juicy, while the outside turns crispy brown.

• Advices
  Heat the pan well before use. Once cooking is finished, do not leave food lying in the pan.
• Seasoning
  The black iron frypan has to be seasoned. It will become black after being used several times (tha'ts why it is called "black" iron frypan). You can now continue using it with very low fat / grease since your black iron frypan has now a natural non-stick coating.
  Put some potato peelings in your pan and fry them with a lot of oil/ grease for some minutes. Throw away the peelings and rinse the frying pan with very hot water,wipe it and - if necessary - repeat this procedure. Finally, wipe your pan with paper towels and put it away in a dry place.
  If food sticks in the pan, you can use a a green sponge and a tiny amount of washing up liquid. If necessary, repeat the seasoning. 
• How to care your black iron frypan
  Wash the frying pan with very hot water and a sponge, with a drop of washing up liquid. Rinse with plenty of hot water and wipe dry. Oil with a paper towel and put it away in a dry place. After being used several times, your frying pan will be seasoned.
  Attention: never leave your pan to soak and never put it in a dishwasher.
