Mauviel M'Steel Black Carbon Natural Nonstick Frying Pan With Iron Handle

This pan arrives with a protective beeswax coating that must be removed before your first use. You will then need to season the carbon steel yourself to begin building its natural non-stick patina.

Yes, the Mauviel M'Steel pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.

Not initially. Unlike synthetic non-stick coatings, this pan relies on a seasoning process where oil polymerizes onto the steel. With consistent use and proper care, it develops a natural, slick surface that performs similarly to non-stick pans but without the chemical coatings.

To preserve the seasoning, hand wash the pan with warm water and a soft brush or sponge immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher and harsh detergents, and always dry it thoroughly on the stove to prevent rust.

The iron handle will get hot during cooking, especially when used in the oven or over high heat. We recommend using an oven mitt or a kitchen towel when handling the pan while it is hot.

Yes, this pan is oven-safe up to 680° F, making it an excellent choice for finishing dishes like frittatas or searing steaks that need to be finished in the oven.
