Alex Pole Heritage Carbon Steel Oven Skillet

This Heritage Carbon Steel Oven Skillet from Alex Pole is made from spun carbon steel. It has a thinner, lighter construction than traditional carbon steel or cast iron, but with the same incredible searing power and durability. This pan heats quickly and retains high levels of heat – which translates to the perfect browning of meat, seafood and vegetables. Best of all, over time – and with proper care and maintenance – this pan develops a 'patina' that resists food sticking to the surface, providing a sustainable alternative to non-stick cookware. This pan comes pre-seasoned, so it is ready to use straight out of the box. However, we recommend seasoning it before use anyway, to kick-start the process of making it easy-release. (For more info on how to season and maintain carbon steel, see our guide here.) The handles of this carbon steel frying pan are made of forged stainless steel, which allows it to stay cool as you cook. They are secured to the pan with copper rivets, a wonderful aesthetic detail. It is suitable for use on all hobs including induction, as well as in the oven and on the barbecue. Proudly made in Dorset and backed by a 100-year warranty, an Alex Pole carbon steel skillet is a lifetime investment that only gets better with time. 

A matching lid is sold separately.
