Steakhouse-Style Searing with Premium Carbon Steel
Bring exceptional searing performance into your kitchen with the Alva Black Angus Carbon Steel Frying Pan, designed for high-heat cooking, flavorful browning, and lasting durability.
Made from premium carbon steel, this versatile frying pan combines excellent heat responsiveness with a naturally seasoned cooking surface that improves with continued use. Its pre-seasoned finish offers an alternative to traditional synthetic nonstick coatings, developing better food release as the seasoning builds over time.
Whether you're searing steak, preparing burgers, cooking chicken, or sautéing fresh vegetables, the Black Angus frying pan delivers the versatility and performance needed for delicious homemade meals.
Unlike carbon steel pans with wooden handles, the Black Angus features a stainless steel handle and is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it ideal for recipes that begin on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
Available in two sizes—9.5" and 11"—to accommodate different cooking needs.
