BK Frying Pan Black Steel Carbon Steel ø 28 cm - without non-stick coating

Forget about that frying pan with the worn coating that has become scratched and dull after two years. The BK Frying Pan Black Steel Carbon Steel ø 28 cm works the opposite way: the more you use it, the better it cooks. This is the pan that chefs have preferred for generations over everything else on the market - and now you know why.

A pan that improves the more you cook

Carbon steel is not a compromise - it is a choice. A conscious choice for a pan without frills, without a coating that wears off, and without worries about harmful substances. The Black Steel from BK is PFAS-free and builds a natural patina layer with each use. That layer is your reward for every steak, every roasted potato, every breaded chicken breast you throw in the pan. The darker the pan becomes, the better it performs. That’s not marketing - that’s chemistry.

• Self-improving non-stick properties - The patina layer grows with your cooking experience: more cooking = better results
• No coating that wears off - Carbon steel has no non-stick coating that peels or damages over time
• PFAS-free - Cook your food without worries about harmful substances in your food
• Heats up quickly - Carbon steel conducts heat quickly and efficiently, giving your steak a crispy crust in minutes
• Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, induction, and even the barbecue: this pan works everywhere
• Lasts a lifetime - With the right care, it will survive children, moves, and dozens of festive dinners

Heat where it needs to be - immediately

The carbon steel of the Black Steel distributes heat quickly and efficiently across the entire cooking surface. That means: no cold spots in the middle, no food burning on the edge while the centre is still raw. Throw your steak into the hot pan and within minutes you’ll hear that familiar, delightful sizzle and see that beautiful, brown crust forming. The Maillard reaction - that culinary magic word for flavour and aroma - works best at high, consistent temperatures. And this pan excels at that.

With a diameter of 28 cm, there’s plenty of room for the whole family. Fry four chicken breasts without stacking them, stir-fry a full wok of vegetables, or prepare an elaborate omelette for the weekend. No cramped food, no steamed results - just honestly cooked meals as they should be.

Oven, barbecue, and everything in between

The cast iron handle of the Black Steel not only makes it robust in feel but also versatile in use. The pan is oven-safe up to 230 °C, which means you can sear your steak on the stove and then finish it in the oven - just like the best restaurants do. Or you can use it directly on the barbecue for that extra smoky flavour. Freedom in the kitchen, without having to switch pans.

Suitable for all heat sources: gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, and induction. Whether you’re in a city kitchen with an induction plate or grilling outside on the barbecue - the Black Steel adapts to your situation, never the other way around.

Maintenance: honest and simple

Let’s be honest: carbon steel has a few rules to follow. After cooking, rinse the pan with hot water and a brush - no dish soap needed and certainly no dishwasher. Then dry it immediately and thoroughly. Want to protect the patina layer further? Wipe a thin layer of oil over it after drying. That’s it. No complicated rituals - just a bit of attention for a pan that rewards you with the best cooking results for years to come.

The pan is not dishwasher safe - but honestly, you don’t need that either. With hot water and a brush, it’s clean in thirty seconds. The cast iron handle is sturdy and comfortable, and with a weight of 1,480 grams, the pan sits stable on any stove.

BK offers a 3-year warranty on the Black Steel - although the chances are high that you’ll pass it on to your children before that warranty even becomes relevant.

Seasoning: the first step to the perfect patina

A new Black Steel pan requires a short introduction - the so-called seasoning. Wash it once with warm water and a little dish soap (this is the only time!), dry it completely, and heat it on the stove. Add a thin layer of oil, let it soak in for a moment, and wipe away the excess. Done. From that moment on, your pan grows with you.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Cook the first few times consciously with something fatty: bacon, a fried egg with butter, or potatoes in oil. This speeds up the build-up of the patina layer and you’ll have a pan that works like a dream sooner. Use as little water as possible in the first weeks and avoid acidic ingredients like tomatoes until the patina is well established.
