What is included
Mauviel’s M’STEEL 12.6-inch frying pan in bare carbon steel with an iron handle, and no lid. Mauviel lists it at 12.6 inches across, 9.8 inches flat inside, 2 inches high, 21.6 inches long with the handle and 4.8 lb. It works on every stove, induction included, and goes in the oven to 680°F. Mauviel says it heats so fast it suits searing more than simmering, and asks for medium heat. It comes waxed against rust: wash the wax off, season it twice with oil, then rinse with hot water, dry and oil it after each use; never the dishwasher. Handcrafted in France.
