Just magnificent results. I don’t only use it for steak - I cook salmon, chicken, eggs and pork. It’s got weight and cooks beautifully.”

ALL COOKTOPS

Restaurant-Quality Steak At Home

This is how you get that deep, caramelised steakhouse crust. Juicy centre. Real flavour.

The MAKO Black Steel Steak Pan Set gives you the heat, control and surface you need to cook steak properly.

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 Set Performs Differently

Black Carbon steel: The gold standard for high-heat cooking.
Fast, responsive heat: Heats up quickly. Cools down when you want it to. Total control.
Natural non-stick (that improves over time): No synthetic coatings, just pre-seasoned carbon steel. Traditional non-stick coatings aren't made for high-heat cooking. The MAKO Steak Pan is.
Multi-use: Oven safe up to 300°C / 572°F
Built for Longevity: No coatings to degrade. Designed for years of daily use. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

Why This Set Makes It Easier

Use the Steak Pan for high-heat searing big steaks and larger portions.
Use the Mini Sear Pan for 1 steak or smaller portions, eggs, sauces or sides.
Or run both at once so everything finishes at the same time.

It’s a simple upgrade that makes cooking feel faster, easier and more controlled.

What You Can Actually Cook

Not just steak.

Thick ribeye with a proper crust
Crispy-skin salmon that doesn’t stick
Juicy chicken thighs with golden edges
Burgers smashed and seared to perfection

This is your everyday pan…just performing at a much higher level.

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, black steel heats very quickly. We recommend starting at a lower temperature and adjusting the heat higher or lower as necessary throughout cooking, this ensures even heat distribution.

FAQs

What is a patina?

One of the best parts of owning a MAKO pan is the natural patina that will build over time on the surface of your steak pan. This adds flavour, increases the natural non-stick ability and enhances the cooking experience. Each time you use your pan, this patina will build further. To maintain your patina, it is important to carefully follow our cleaning and aftercare instructions.

What stovetops does it work on?

These pans works on all stovetops, including induction. As well as being oven safe.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No! Please don’t put your MAKO pans in the dishwasher as it may damage their patina layers.

Why is the pan pre-seasoned? What does this mean?

It can often take years to develop a proper seasoning on a plain carbon steel surface and be quite difficult to achieve. By pre-seasoning the MAKO pan we’ve accelerated the seasoning process.

How do we pre-season the pan?

Black steel is created using natural oil and heat treatment to create the natural, chemical-free, pre-seasoned pan.

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, MAKO's 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.

Fab-U-licious. First use - Great, succulent steaks. Second use - I got a bit distracted, thought maybe over-cooked?, but NO! Great steaks again! Very impressed with the quality and results.
