The 9″ (20cm) Deep Skillet With Smooth Finish by AUS-ION is 100% made in Sydney from one seamless piece of 3mm thick Australian sheet iron. A traditional fry pan for most jobs, with 2″ high sides. The high walls make this pan a kitchen workhorse giving it versatility to deep fry, saute, braise, roast, or simmer your favorite dishes. AUS-ION cookware is built to last with all of the features and details professional chefs look for in a pan: high quality, comfortable to use and easy to clean. The seamless, one-piece construction means there are no rivets, so there is nothing for food or steel wool particles to get caught in. The handles are ergonomically designed with a wide, concave shape which is more comfortable to use with better control and less hand fatigue. And the generous venting in the handle neck reduces heat transfer for a cooler handle. The pans cook like cast iron but are lighter weight, they heat evenly and will not warp. The entire pan is naturally pre-seasoned for a healthy nonstick option; It is not coated like many steel pan brands, so it arrives ready to cook, no stripping necessary. AUS-ION pans are suitable for use at high heat over any heat source. For best results, follow our instructions. To clean: after cooking, use a wooden utensil or steel wool to gently scrape pan under hot running water. It is best to clean while the pan is still very warm. If necessary, you may use a brush, but be careful not to take off too much of that beautiful seasoning that you have built up! Do not use soap, as it will erode the seasoning. Dry thoroughly with a paper towel while the pan is still warm. If the pan is still relatively new, return to the stove top and wipe the interior of the pan with a small amount of oil, heat until smoking. Then, using tongs, wipe off the excess oil.

Love this pan! Love this pan. I know there is a newer version that has been roughed up a bit to improve seasoning but all the French carbon steel pans are smooth and they season up fine. For the price discount on this “smooth finish” I jumped at it. And I love it!!!!! I used Crisbee to season it. I did 3 oven seasonings and then did the cook top seasoning. I followed the Auz-Ion instructions for cook top seasoning. Did 3 wipings while it smoked. Then set it aside to cool. Then repeated. The…
Awesome pan This is an excellent pan! It looks and cooks great. The pre-seasoning is pretty thin and splotchy, but dont be put off by it. As you use the pan it will quickly even out and darken. It cooks great right out of the box.I scrubbed mine in hot soapy water with a blue scotchbrite pad and then seasoned it with an ultra-thin coat of soybean oil in a 450 degree oven for an hour. I then did a couple of stove top seasonings just on the cooking surface and then started cooking with it…
The Aus-Ion line and my experiences This is just a beautiful and functional pan. I love carbon steel, and this was the best I could find.After seasoning it in the oven six times with flax oil, it worked great for about two weeks. Of course, the slickness didn’t develop until a couple of weeks of consistent use after the oven seasoning, but it did develop and it was wonderful!Until it wasn’t.There was a spot that began to grab my omelets no matter what I seemed to do. It was always the same spot in the pan…
