Chef's pan made in Dunedin, New Zealand

Please note, as of August the handle of the chef's pan has slightly changed from a tubular to a flat design (as shown in last image).

This black iron pan is perfect for frying, grilling and serving amazing meals and suits gas, electric and induction stove tops. 

Lighter than conventional cast iron pans, this pan is typically used by professional chefs as it can be easily moved between hob and stove, and to lift and toss. It will season with use and will quickly become your favourite pan for all your cooking: it cooks food with an even heat, and even makes great crepes.

Made from 2mm cold roll mild steel in Ōtepoti Dunedin. 

Regular: 27cm handle, 26.50cm diameter

Small: 21cm handle, 21cm diameter

Seasoning & Care Instructions

Seasoning:

1. Wash the pan in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
2. Coat lightly with vegetable oil, then wipe off with a paper towel – remove as much oil as possible, leaving only a thin film that feels slippery, not wet.
3. Place in a pre-heated oven at 250°C for 50 minutes.
4. Remove and allow to cool, then wipe away any excess oil with a paper towel.

Note: the pan's colour will change during this process — typically from slightly golden through to dark grey, and often unevenly at first. This is completely normal for a new pan and will even out with use. With regular cooking, the surface will gradually turn black – a sign of a well-seasoned pan and should never be scrubbed off.

If you'd like a deeper, more even finish from the start, simply repeat the seasoning process a second time — many customers find this gives a more consistent colour before the pan sees regular use.

Everyday Use & Care:

• Bring the pan up to temperature gradually before cooking, to prevent buckling.
• Hand wash in hot water with a non-metal brush after each use — never in the dishwasher, and never with detergent once seasoned.
• Dry immediately, either with a towel or by placing briefly on low heat.
• Wipe over with a little oil from time to time to keep the surface conditioned.
