Forged iron frying skillet Ø 28 cm
From the stove into the oven and from there to the table.
This iron frying skillet was drop-forged in a Bavarian hammer forge according to traditional craftsmanship. The iron surface should be well 'seasoned' before first use and then simply wiped clean. Using washing-up liquid or similar cleaning agents damages the patina that forms with each use, a natural non-stick coating that is responsible for the fact that iron pans get better and better with use. This one is from Helmensdorfer in Lindau on Lake Constance.

More details
Today, pans can be made of all kinds of materials. The principle often applies: the newer the material, the greater the promise and the higher the price. If you ask professional chefs about such marvels of kitchen technology, you usually only get a pitying smile. For the masters of the kitchen, nothing beats the oldest pan material of all: iron. Pans made from this material are not only indestructible all-rounders with excellent frying properties and can be used on ultra-modern stoves as well as on the barbecue and over the campfire, but are also extremely inexpensive to buy compared to many modern high-tech pans. We offer both forged and rolled iron pans.
M. Helmensdorfer GmbH & Co. KG Metallwarenfabrik in Lindau on Lake Constance specialises in iron pans of the highest quality. It has been supplying the hotel and restaurant industry since 1864 – a customer base, that combines the highest demands with the highest usage. The forged pans are produced in collaboration with Bavarian hammer forges, some of which are 500 years old, using traditional methods. The arrangement of the hammer marks is always different, making each pan unique. However, this uniqueness is not reflected in a high price. The pans made of rolled iron are produced exclusively by Helmensdorfer in Lindau.
Heat sources.
The material is suitable for all heat sources – electric, gas, induction and even open fire; however, we only recommend the pans for glass ceramic cooking surfaces to a limited extent, as the rough surface can leave its traces. The heat source should not be smaller than the pan base, otherwise it may warp.
Cleaning.
All our pans made of iron are coated with an oil film to protect them from corrosion. You should always ‘season’ the pan before using it for the first time. You will find instructions in the delivery. Iron pans do not belong in the dishwasher; a well-seasoned pan can be easily wiped clean.
