Kamado Joe Karbon Steel Pan

Yes, like most carbon steel cookware, these pans should be seasoned before your first cook to build up a natural non-stick patina. We recommend coating them with a thin layer of oil and heating them on the grill to ensure the best performance and rust protection.

While these pans are specifically engineered to integrate with the Kamado Joe Divide & Conquer system, they can be used on any grill surface that can accommodate their half-moon shape. Just ensure your grill grates are stable enough to support the weight of the steel.

To maintain the seasoning, avoid using harsh soaps or the dishwasher. Simply rinse the pans with warm water while they are still warm, scrub off any food residue with a brush or sponge, and dry them thoroughly before applying a light coat of oil for storage.

The perforated pan allows smoke and direct flame to reach your food, making it ideal for vegetables or smaller items you want to char without losing them through the grates. The solid pan acts as a traditional griddle, perfect for searing meats, sautéing aromatics, or roasting foods in their own juices.

No, the stainless steel handles will become very hot during the cooking process. You should always use heat-resistant grill gloves or mitts when handling the pans while they are on the grill.
