WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

Restaurant-Quality Steak At Home Starts Here

A great cut deserves a deep, caramelised crust. But a crowded pan, too much moisture or too little heat can leave you with a pale exterior.

The MAKO Steak Pan pairs 3mm carbon steel built for high-heat searing with a press for firm pan contact.

Proper sear. The perfect crust. No synthetic coatings. Just performance.

Why Your Current Pan Is Letting You Down

  • Not hot enough = no crust.
  • Heat drops when food hits the pan = uneven cooking.
  • Cheap non-stick coatings can break down at high heat.

That's why your steak ends up grey instead of caramelised.

Why The MAKO Steak Pan Performs Differently

  • 3mm carbon steel: Built for high-heat browning and a flavour-packed crust.
  • Included MAKO Press: Helps steak, fish and burgers make even contact with the pan.
  • Factory pre-seasoned: The initial seasoning is done; the patina develops with cooking and care.
  • Cooktop to oven: Sear, then finish in the same pan. Oven-safe to 300°C.
  • No synthetic coating: Cook on seasoned carbon steel, backed by a lifetime pan warranty.

What You Can Actually Cook

Not just steak. This is your everyday pan…performing at a much higher level.

  • Ribeye with a deeply browned crust.
  • Crisp-skinned salmon and golden chicken thighs.
  • Smash burgers with caramelised edges.
  • Mushrooms, greens and charred vegetables.

BUILDING YOUR PATINA

One of the exceptional benefits of owning a MAKO Steak Pan is the natural patina that will gradually form over time on its surface. This patina surface enhances flavour, improves natural non-stick properties and elevates your cooking experience. With each use, your steak pan's patina will continue to develop.

Each time you use your pan, it is important to follow the cleaning and care instructions.

CLEANING

Always let your steak pan cool down before using cold water, otherwise warping may occur. Once your pan is cool, clean it with warm water and a gentle sponge or brush.Use as little detergent as possible because it often contains acid that may damage your patina layer or cause rust. Never put your pan in the dishwasher. If your pan needs a little extra cleaning, pour in a small layer of water and bring it to the boil. Let the water cool down, then remove the residue with a brush or spatula. This doesn’t affect the patina layer, but it should lift away any stubborn food remains.

AFTERCARE

After cleaning, place your pan over medium heat until no moisture remains. Then add one teaspoon of vegetable oil and use some paper towel to wipe the oil over the interior surface of the pan while it’s hot (be careful!). This helps protect your pan and build a beautiful patina. Now store the pan in a dry space.

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 cause issues and affect the seasoning. Learn more about cooking oil smoke points here.

NOTE: Pay attention when cooking on induction, using a low temperature setting as the pan will heat up quickly. Also avoid sliding your pan on a glass surface.

FAQs

Will it work on induction?
Yes - gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops.

Can I use it in the oven?
The pan is oven-safe up to 300°C. This rating applies to the pans, not the press. Use oven gloves for hot handles.

Does pre-seasoned mean it needs no care?
The initial seasoning is already done. You still need suitable heat and oil, plus cleaning, drying and oiling after use. Re-season as needed to maintain the surface.

Why does the surface change colour?
Patina changes with cooking and care and can look patchy while it develops. This is normal. The seasoned surface helps food release, but heat, oil and technique still matter.

Can I cook acidic sauces in black steel?
Yes, the MAKO Steak Pan makes a great pan sauce! But prolonged simmering (more than 30 minutes) of acidic ingredients such as wine, lemon and vinegar can affect the patina. Follow the care guide and re-season as needed. Stainless steel is a useful choice for longer acidic simmering.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No. Dishwasher detergents and prolonged exposure to water can damage the patina—the seasoned layer that helps food release and protects your pan against rust. Simply handwash, dry thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil before storing.

How is carbon steel better than cast iron for cooking?
Cast iron is a great material to cook with, however carbon steel has a few extra benefits that make it superior.
It is lighter weight, which means it heats up faster, and is easier to use and clean. It is also more responsive to heat changes, so you have more control over what you're cooking.

Plus, our signature Black Steel is pre-seasoned and ready to use as soon as you get it.
It does require some basic ongoing care to maintain the non-stick patina layer, but due to the pre-seasoning we have done, it is far more rust resistant that traditional cast iron.

    Steak pan

    The pan itself is great however, its a little big for my induction cooktop. Only due to the large element is at the back near the wall and there is not enough space for the pan to sit centrally on the element. This causes uneven cooking or only half the pan being utilised. Check your cooktop element size to make sure you choose a pan that will fit your induction cooktop.I have the sear pan that is made of the same carbon steel and it works great. I have a separate large induction hotplate which I will give a try as I believe that will solve the issue. Thanks for a great product.
