Cast Iron Frying Pan

Enameled Cast Iron Frypans

Cooking is not just a daily task - it blends tradition and creativity. Stahl Kitchens, a premium cookware brand, brings this experience to life with India's first lightweight cast iron fry pans.

Traditional cast iron cookware is cherished for its exceptional heat retention and durability, but its weight and high maintenance can make it challenging to handle and maneuver. Stahl solves this problem with Blacksmith Hybrid and Blacksmith Plus, the two revolutionary lightweight cast iron frying pan series from Stahl that retain all the benefits of the cast iron skillet while eliminating the weight and rust concerns.

Top Features of Stahl Cast Iron Skillets

Stahl’s Blacksmith Hybrid and Blacksmith Plus series redefine cast iron cookware by combining traditional designs with innovative modern engineering:

Lightweight, Yet Robust

No more struggling with heavy cookware! Stahl’s cast iron frying pan is 50% lighter than traditional cast iron skillet, making it easy to handle, flip, and store. Despite their lightweight build, they maintain the same durability expected from a premium lightweight cast iron frying pan.

Superior Heat Retention for Perfect Cooking

Cast iron’s biggest advantage is its ability to hold and distribute heat evenly, and Stahl takes it a step further.

Built to Last for Generations

Both Blacksmith Hybrid and Blacksmith Plus are designed with long-term durability in mind. The Hybrid series features an enamel coating for easy upkeep, while Blacksmith Plus undergoes a nitrogen-based process to harden the surface, preventing scratches and damage.

Fights Rust, So You Worry Less

Rust is a major concern with traditional cast iron skillets, but not with Stahl's frypan. The Blacksmith Hybrid series’ enamel coating prevents rust entirely, while Blacksmith Plus’ Nitride treatment actively resists rust, meaning less frequent seasoning and lower maintenance.

Healthy Cooking with Less Oil

With a naturally stick-resistant surface, Stahl’s cast iron frypans require less oil, allowing for healthier meals without compromising on taste.

Effortless Cleaning & Care

The Blacksmith Hybrid series doesn’t require seasoning and can be cleaned effortlessly, while the Blacksmith Plus series needs only minimal care thanks to its non-toxic nitrided surface.

Ergonomic Stay-Cool Handles

Contrary to traditional cast iron pans that get hot all over, Stahl's lightweight cast iron frying pan features stainless steel handles that remain cooler to the touch, providing added safety and comfort while cooking.

Maintenance & Care of Cast Iron Frying Pan

Ignoring proper care for cast iron cookware can lead to rust, food sticking, and reduced lifespan. But with the right approach, your Stahl cast iron pan can last for generations.

Common Issues:

- Leaving cast iron wet: Leads to rust buildup.
- Harsh scrubbing with soap: Strips away seasoning.
- Skipping seasoning (for non-enameled pans): Causes food to stick.

Keep your lightweight cast iron frying pan in top shape by regular seasoning, proper cleaning, and storing it dry. With the right care, a cast iron non-stick frying pan retains its natural properties while getting better with age.

Seasoning of Cast Iron Fry Pan

Seasoning is the process of applying a thin layer of oil and heating it until it bonds with the metal, creating a protective, non-stick coating. This layer improves with every use, making cooking easier and your pan more durable over time.

Cleaning of Cast Iron Fry Pan

A well-maintained lightweight cast iron frying pan can last for generations, but improper cleaning or care can lead to rust, loss of seasoning, and compromised performance.

Steps to Clean Your Cast Iron Fry Pan

1. Scrub Off Food Residue

After cooking, use a soft sponge or brush to remove any stuck food. Avoid steel wool or harsh scrubbing, as they can damage the seasoning.

2. Rinse with Warm Water

Hold the pan under running warm water to remove leftover grease and crumbs. Do not soak the pan, as prolonged exposure to water can lead to rust.

3. Dry Immediately

Thorough drying is crucial since leaving the pan damp can cause rust spots. Use a towel to absorb moisture, then place the pan on a low flame for a few minutes to evaporate any remaining water.

4. Apply a Light Oil Layer

Once the pan is dry, rub a few drops of cooking oil (vegetable, flaxseed, or canola) over the surface using a paper towel.

Done! Now the best cast iron frying pan is seasoned and ready to cook.

What’s more, for the Blacksmith Hybrid, no seasoning is required! The coating of an enamel frying pan takes care of it for you for a long time.
