AUS-IONDeep Skillet with Satin Finish 100% Made in Sydney, 3mm Australian Iron, Commercial Grade Cookware, 9-Inch

Me gusto mucho cocinar en el, no se le pega nada, ideal para cosinar al carbón

First cook after following the included seasoning instructions (I did 2 extra oven seasonings). Sausage and parsley omelette. The egg didn't stick at all, minor sticking on the sausage but just a quick scrape with a spatula under hot water and it was good as seen in the empty pan photo. I used about a tablespoon of ghee for the cook.

It's such a joy to use, I keep on trying to find excuses to fry something up. Have now ordered a second pain in another size.

Ok

First, the weather report: cold, cold, and colder. It will be below zero all night and close to zero much of tomorrow. My office temperature went down to 64 degrees with all the heat as high as it will go. And little swirling eddies of frigid air along the floor play hell with my ankles. Worked as much as I could next door in the basement, but had to watch not to get chilled. The problem with chill is you don’t know you’re chilled until you’re chilled. Now, let’s talk iron skillets. I have a new one.The SolidTeknics AUS-ION steel cooking pans combine what I most love about cast iron with the feel of the French steel pans used by chefs everywhere. Compared to cast-iron, the AUS-ION steel skillet weighs half as much, yet still has plenty of heft, thickness, and most of the advantages; it just goes a step farther.Like cast-iron, the AUS-ION are seamless. There are no rivets or welding. Yet, they are world’s lighter, but still very solid feeling. Thanks to the suggestion of Sandy Keefe right here on my blog, I just had to see this new kind of iron pan for myself, so I ordered one. They are very expensive. One of my main interests is the fact that these AUS-ION pans don’t leach iron into the system to the degree that cast-iron does. I’m not sure if that type of leached-iron is good or bad for me, but it’s not a problem with this pan.The AUS-ION pans are made of low-carbon mild steel, with no added nickel. And they are warranted not for a few years, but officially for a few centuries. They come pre-seasoned with non-toxic methods and are forever renewable, offering not a non-stick surface, but a low-stick surface. With careful seasoning, the pans become essentially non-stick, but naturally as do cast-iron.Their ergonomic handle is designed to dissipate heat and keep the handle cool, which cast-iron pans do not. Again, they are like cooking on cast-iron, but they handle like French cookery. This is a new concept. As mentioned, these pans are half the weight of cast-iron, so they are still solid and heavy enough. They resemble ultra-elegant caste iron.And they have no heat limit when using them and, unlike cast-iron (where we must wait for the pan to cool in order to clean), the AUS-ION can be cleaned immediately, even while hot, with no ill effects. This is important for me because, having run a restaurant, I like to clean as I go and coming back later to clean a pan is not my favorite idea. Here is the site:http://ausion-usa.com/I had to order one and did. I chose the SolidTeknics Aus-Ion 8482; 10.2" Satin Skillet SI126Shttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071V2TF4M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I should point out that this “satin finish” is the one to get and that they made an earlier run that were not as easy to season, so check it out before you buy one. Look for the term “Satin Skillet.”The pan came as pre-seasoned bare steel, ready to accept whatever other seasoning I want to add. I coated it very lightly with some sesame oil and placed it into an oven for 1-1/2 hours and it came out black and finely coated. I will coat it more in the coming weeks and I am already using it.I am enthused, because I don’t want to endlessly leach iron into my body as cast-iron can do, but I sure don’t want to use any more non-stick pans, no matter what they say about improving them. The SolidTeknic’s pans with their “smooth satin” finish are the perfect compromise between cast-iron and the French pans that chefs like to use. I wish I had known they exist earlier. IMO, this is where pans are going. No more non-stick and throwing them out for me. SolidTeknic’s pans are here for the duration and then some.
