Cooking & Handling Tips

• The MAKO Black Steel Steak Pan is compatible with all cooktops, including gas, electric and induction. When using induction, select a burner that matches the size of the pan’s base for optimal heating.
• The pan is oven safe up to 300°C / 572°F, perfect for stovetop-to-oven cooking. 

Induction Tip: black carbon steel heats quickly - so always start with low heat and adjust from there.

Building Your Patina

• The pre-seasoned black steel surface will continue develop a natural patina over time. This patina enhances flavour and improves the non-stick properties of the pan. 

The more you use your pan, the better it performs.

Cooking Oils

• For best results, always cook with high smoke point oils such as vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil.
• Avoid low smoke point oils like olive oil, as they can affect the patina and performance Learn more about cooking oil smoke points here.

Cleaning

• Let the pan cool before cleaning to avoid warping.
• Wash with warm water and a gentle sponge or brush. Avoid harsh detergents and never put the pan in the dishwasher.
• For stubborn food, bring a little water to the boil in the pan, let it cool, then remove stubborn residue with a brush or spatula.

Aftercare

• After cleaning, place the pan over medium heat until dry.
• Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil and wipe the interior surface while hot using a paper towel (be careful). This helps to preserve the surface and maintain the non-stick quality.
• Store the pan in a dry place.

What is Black Carbon Steel?

Black carbon steel is made from iron and carbon, offering the same durability and high-heat capabilities as cast iron, but at half the weight. 

The MAKO Black Steel range uses a proprietary heating process and natural oils to create a pre-seasoned finish that’s ready to use straight out of the box.

Why Do You Need Black Carbon Steel Frying Pans?

Black carbon steel is loved by professionals for its high heat performance, unlike traditional non-stick pans that should not be used above medium heat. 

Black carbon steel offers superior heat distribution and responsiveness, making it ideal for searing, crisping, and sautéing.

How Do You Use Black Carbon Steel?

1. Preheat the pan over medium-high heat until you see light smoke.
2. Add enough oil to coat the bottom and a bit of the sides.
3. Start cooking - a hot pan ensures ingredients will sear, not stew.

What is a Patina?

The patina is a natural layer that develops on the surface of your pan over time. It improves flavour, enhances non-stick properties and elevating your cooking experience.  So the more you use your pan, the better it will perform.

Can I Put It in the Dishwasher?

No, putting your pan in the dishwasher can damage the patina. We recommend cleaning with warm water and a gentle sponge or brush.

Why Is the Pan Pre-Seasoned?

Building a seasoning on carbon steel can take years. The pre-seasoning process saves you time and delivers high-performance cooking right out of the box.

How Is Black Carbon Steel Better Than Cast Iron?

While cast iron is a great material, black carbon steel is lighter, heats faster and is more responsive to temperature changes. MAKO Black Carbon Steel is also more rust-resistant and ready to use immediately.
