BK Pancake Pan / Crêpe Pan Black Steel Carbon Steel ø 26 cm - without non-stick coating

Forget those cheap pans with a coating that peels off after a year. The BK Pancake Pan Black Steel ø 26 cm is a different story - a pan that doesn't wear out but actually improves. Every time you cook, every pancake you flip, every crêpe you roll: the pan learns along with you. That's not marketing talk, that's the magic of carbon steel.

Why this pan is different from anything you've known

Most pancake pans have a non-stick coating that literally chips away over time. You throw them away, buy a new one, and the cycle starts again. The BK Black Steel turns that principle on its head. This pan has no coating - and that's precisely its strength. With use, the carbon steel develops a natural patina: a layer of baked-in fats that becomes smoother and more non-stick over time. The darker the pan, the better it cooks. A pan that grows with you and proves itself in practice. That's smart buying.

• Improves with every use - the natural patina enhances non-stick properties the more you cook
• No coating that wears off or chips - carbon steel lasts a lifetime without hassle
• PFAS-free - no harmful substances, just pure steel
• Golden brown and crispy - the carbon steel distributes heat so efficiently that your pancakes get an even, tasty edge
• Universally usable - gas, induction, ceramic, halogen, electric, barbecue, and oven up to 230 °C
• 3-year warranty from BK - a brand that has kept its word in the kitchen for decades

The low rim that makes all the difference

Anyone who has tried to flip a pancake in a pan with high sides knows how frustrating that is. Your spatula doesn't fit underneath, the pancake tears, and the mood at the table is instantly ruined. The BK Black Steel has a deliberately low rim, so you can effortlessly slide your spatula under the pancake and flip it in one smooth motion. No tearing, no hassle - just that perfect, clean fold. And for paper-thin crêpes, this pan is simply ideal: the thin carbon steel conducts heat quickly and evenly, ensuring every crêpe cooks just right. Serve them with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey, and you have a moment to savour.

The handle is made of cast iron - sturdy, warm in the hand, and designed for a secure grip. Even when the pan is on the heat and you need to flip quickly: the handle gives you control and confidence.

Carbon steel: the best friend of heat

Carbon steel is a material that professional chefs have used for centuries. Not because it's cheap, but because it works. It conducts heat quickly and efficiently, responds immediately to temperature changes, and can withstand extreme heat without warping. These properties make the BK Black Steel not only perfect for pancakes and crêpes but also for other applications where you need quick, intense heat. Think of searing a piece of meat, frying potato slices, or briefly charring vegetables on the barbecue. The pan can even go in the oven up to 230 °C - handy if you want to finish or keep dishes warm.

And all of this without PFAS, without coating, without chemicals. Pure steel. Pure enjoyment.

Maintenance: less work than you think

Carbon steel does require some attention - but not nearly as much as you might think. After cooking, rinse the pan with hot water and a (stiff) brush. No soap needed, and definitely no dishwasher - that damages the steel and removes the built-up patina that makes the pan so good. Then dry the pan immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust. If you do this consistently, you'll literally have a pan for life. Store it in a dry place, and optionally rub it with a thin layer of oil if you won't be using it for a while.

It sounds like a ritual, and it is, in a way. You build a relationship with this pan. And it rewards you with the perfect pancake, time and time again.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Using your pan for the first time? Season it by lightly greasing it with a neutral oil (like sunflower oil) and heating it over medium heat until the oil smokes. Pour off the oil, pat dry with kitchen paper, and repeat this two to three times. This gives the patina a flying start - and you'll cook results that stick with you.

From Sunday morning to festive dinner

There are those moments in the kitchen that stay with you. A stack of steaming pancakes for the kids on Sunday morning. Crêpes Suzette for friends on Friday night, a bit of flambéing for show.

The BK Black Steel is the pan that can handle all those moments - and gets better for it. Round shape, ø 26 cm: just the right size for a hearty pancake or a light crêpe. Stackable too, so storage is easy.
