Shallow, broad
surface allows for roasting of chestnuts.
Large perorations
allow significant flame contact, enhancing the roasted, smokey flavor.
This pan is made
of blue steel. "Blue" steel isn't painted or coated steel.
It is simply a steel which has undergone a form of heat
treatment which gives it its bluish color, and which protects it temporarily
against oxidation.
A good steel
pan is one that has been seasoned, meaning it has become black after
being used several times.
Care: to ensure
that the frying pan keeps its
properties and in order to avoid oxidation, wash the pan in hot water
without soap, then wipe it immediately with a paper towel. It may
be then oiled if desired and stored in a dry place.
