Viking Blue Carbon Steel Fry Pan 10

For those who like cooking with cast iron but love the versatility of a clad stainless steel pan, the Blue Carbon Steel 10-Inch Pan is the perfect pan. Featuring a 10-inch size for added versatility, this fry pan is made of carbon steel, an alloy that is a combination of iron and carbon. The Blue in Blue carbon steel references a heat treatment process to help resist rust and corrosion, a nuisance that can plague traditional cast iron pans. Stay-cool cast iron handles securely attach to the pans with heavy duty rivets for confidence in construction and a lifetime of use. Though cast iron also excels as maintaining even heating, it can take time to rise to temperature and since iron itself is so brittle, more of the material must be used to make it durable, making traditional cast iron pans larger and heavier. With blue carbon steel, you ll have a pan that is noticeably lighter without sacrificing performance. And like cast iron, blue carbon steel also heats quickly and evenly, reducing the risk of hot spots from occurring. Blue carbon steel is also prized for achieving high temperatures quickly without fear of damage occurring to the pan itself. Blue Steel is oven safe to 450F for restaurant quality finishing in the oven.
