Mauviel M'steel Frying Pan

Yes, this pan requires a seasoning process to remove the protective coating and build up a natural non-stick surface. You will need to wash it thoroughly and heat it with a thin layer of oil before your first cook.

At 9.1 pounds, this is a substantial, heavy-duty piece of cookware. While the weight provides excellent heat retention and stability, you may find it requires two hands to maneuver comfortably when full.

Yes, the carbon steel construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.

This pan is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed only. Avoid using soap if possible; simply rinse with hot water, scrub away any food residue, and dry it immediately on the stovetop to prevent rusting.

It is normal for food to stick initially. As you continue to use the pan and build up a dark, seasoned patina, the surface will naturally become more non-stick over time.

Yes, the pan is oven safe, making it an excellent choice for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven. Just be aware that the steel handle will get very hot, so always use oven mitts.
