No coatings, no limits. This is serious cookware for serious cooks.

MAKO Black Steel has no coating — it’s built tough with pure pre-seasoned Black Steel. It takes the heat and will last a lifetime. Coated pans are great for convenience but they will eventually fade and need to be replaced. They’re also never recommended for high-heat cooking.

Think of Black Steel as the modern, lighter weight and better performing version of cast iron. It offers the same high heat searing capabilities but it’s also more responsive so it cools down when you want it to.

NOTE - Black Steel requires more aftercare than traditional “non-stick” pans with a coating. Just like you would with a cast iron pan…use ample oil, hand wash only, and re-season after each use, and you’ll have a pan that’s designed to last you a lifetime.

Ok, so who are these pans for?
Hardcore home cooks who want pro-level cookware at home – cookware that’ll last a lifetime. Sear, sauté, and fry with confidence, knowing your pan can handle it all. No restrictions, no compromise. Just pure performance, time after time. 

Designed in our Melbourne studio.

Description

This high-performance frying pan is crafted to excel in everyday use, with powerful high-heat capabilities, for a lifetime of cooking.

  • Black carbon steel for optimal temperature control
  • Pre-seasoned for immediate use
  • A natural surface that develops more non-stick properties over time
  • Compatible with electric, gas and induction cooktops
  • Oven safe up to 300°C / 572°F
  • Lifetime warranty

Highly responsive to temperature changes, this black steel frying pan has second-to-none heat distribution. It’s this precision that makes it brilliant for searing steaks, crisping chicken and fish skin, and stir-frying as well as lower temperature sautéing, caramelising and general sizzling.

Made with pre-seasoned black carbon steel, this pan gets better and better the more you use it. After each use the surface will continue to deepen in colour and increase in shine as the patina develops further. The pan is versatile too, moving from the cooktop to a hot oven or under a grill with ease; you can even place them on a super-hot barbecue or the campfire.

BUILDING YOUR PATINA

One of the exceptional benefits of owning a MAKO Black Steel 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 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 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 tablespoon 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
