How to Clean a Blue Steel Pan
Blue steel pans are thin, yet strong pans made of steel heated in a way that creates the blue-black color and makes the steel resistant to corrosion. Blue steel pans heat quickly and evenly, making them good for foods such as omelets and crepes. Like cast iron, these pans must be cleaned correctly or they will develop rust. Cleaning these pans differs significantly from cleaning stainless steel or aluminum pans. Does this Spark an idea?
