A long-awaited launch

The All-round pan launches on Friday 31 October

Some dishes call for acidity. A splash of wine in the sauce, a few drops of lemon over the fish, or tomatoes left to simmer in the pan for a long time. If you cook in carbon steel you know that acidic ingredients in particular can sometimes be a challenge. We wanted to find a solution to that.

We at Kockums Jernverk have long loved carbon steel for its excellent frying properties and for the even heat distribution that gives you full control while cooking. But we also saw the need for a pan that stands up better to acidic ingredients, without compromising on what we love about carbon steel. The result is our new All-round pan, a unique combination of carbon steel pan and enamelled pan.

The enamelled surface also makes the pan easy to wash, with washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher. If you want to keep the shine for longer, we recommend washing it by hand.

Like our ergonomic frying pan, the All-round pan has an ergonomic handle in stainless steel, designed by Designstudio Amsell Berlin.

Frequently asked questions about the All-round pan:

Can I wash it with washing-up liquid?
Yes, you can.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. Washing it by hand does keep the shine of the enamel for longer.

Which utensils can I use in the pan?
We recommend wooden utensils, since metal utensils can scratch the enamel and impair the frying properties.

Can I use the All-round pan in the oven?
Yes, it works on every heat source, including in the oven.

What sets the All-round pan apart from the classic carbon steel pans?
The All-round pan is a carbon steel pan with an enamelled surface. That means you can use acidic ingredients and wash it with washing-up liquid without affecting how the pan works. It is ready to use straight away and does not need to be seasoned.

How do you get the best out of the All-round pan?
Heat the pan slowly, about five minutes on low heat before you raise it to medium. Since the pan is made of carbon steel, we want the heat to spread slowly and evenly, so that it keeps its shape and gives the best result.
