Carbon steel pans are coming back into fashion and becoming a favorite to work with. They are lighter than cast iron and easier to maintain, but much more robust than non-stick pans. They're great for cooking specific foods like skin-on fish, fried rice, eggs, and anything else that sticks to your pan. The Prince Kogyo pan is exactly what every household needs because after the first use it will become a favorite and replace all other pans. With proper use and maintenance, the quality of food preparation will be better and better. With a diameter of 26 cm, it is large enough to be used for preparing large quantities of food, while being small enough to fit in almost all kitchen cupboards and shelves.

Advantages of carbon steel pans: Steel is a material that is resistant to high temperatures and has good thermal conductivity, which makes it the perfect material for pans. For this reason, it is suitable for cooking at high temperatures in a short period of time, sealing the taste of the ingredients and making the dish very tasty. The more you use it, the more oil it will absorb and won't stick, making it durable and long-lasting. However, although steel is an ideal material for pans, it has its weaknesses, that is, it rusts easily. This requires seasoning your pan before use.

Pan maintenance: Like all carbon steel pans, Prince Kogyo pans can rust. To prevent this, avoid submerging them in water for a long period of time and dry them well after washing. Season them by heating them on medium or low on the stove for 10 minutes. Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil or lard and stir to evenly coat the surface of the pan. Reduce the heat and let it sit for 3 minutes. Pour off the excess, wipe the entire surface of the pan with a paper towel and let it cool. For best results, we recommend that you repeat the seasoning process 3 times before use.

Note: Do not wash in the dishwasher.
Do not place this pan in the oven without first removing the handle. The handle is very easy to remove with the help of an Allen key.

For glass plate users: due to the uneven heat produced by glass plates, carbon steel pans can warp from the extreme concentration of heat. They can be used on glass, but heat them up slowly. Do the seasoning process in the oven, not on a glass plate.
