Bring steakhouse-style searing to the home kitchen with the Alva Black Angus Carbon Steel Frying Pan. Designed for intense heat and responsive temperature control, this pan creates deep browning and flavorful crusts on steaks, burgers, chops, vegetables, and other high-heat favorites.
The uncoated carbon steel surface develops a natural patina with regular seasoning. That evolving layer helps protect the pan and improves food release over time without relying on a synthetic nonstick coating.
Key Features
Built for high heat: Carbon steel supports deep searing, browning, frying, and crisping.

Care Instructions
Cook with a small amount of oil or fat to build seasoning.
Avoid prolonged cooking with tomato, citrus, wine, and other acidic ingredients.
Do not soak or place the pan in the dishwasher.
Dry completely after washing and apply a very thin layer of oil.
Darkening, color variation, and patina are normal signs of a developing surface.
If rust appears, scrub the affected area, dry, oil, and re-season.
