Carbon Steel Frying Pan / 22 cm / Brass handle

Same pan, different handle. The brass is a limited edition and it is there because it looks right hanging on the wall next to the copper. Underneath, it is the 22 cm carbon steel we sear in every day: small, fast, and hot enough for one steak done properly.

It behaves like cast iron, only lighter and quicker to react when you turn the flame up or down. Take care of it and it outlives you.

The LADJA team uses it for:

• Searing any meat. Even browning every time
• Sautéing anything, actually
• Tarte tatin. Stovetop to oven, same pan

"Yes, LADJA, we got it, you like carbon steel. Where is the catch?" You season it before the first use. An hour or so the first time, then maybe twice a year. You can cook acidic food in it, but acid wears the seasoning down, so you will season more often if you do.
