PATINA
“Patina” is a culinary term for the acquired change in the appearance of the surface of a cooking vessel.
With a Professional Steel pan, a patina develops when fat comes into contact with the surface of the metal.
The fat penetrates the material and by doing so, it transforms from a dull and dry surface into a slick and supple one.
Patina Benefits:
There are numerous benefits of the Patina non-stick surface on a Carbon Steel pan, especially when compared to a general PTFE non-stick coating.
The main advantage is its durability; even if it is removed through over-heating , scratching or an inappropriate washing method the surface can be renewed and the pan can be used with a non-stick release again .
In contrast, a chemical non-stick coating, such as PTFE, is prepared and sprayed on the pan by the factory. Once this manufactured coating starts to peel off, crack or just loses its non-stick release then it has become obsolete for further use.
