Why this frying pan earns its place
This is a serious working pan, not a delicate showroom piece. Samuel Groves builds it from heavy duty Britannia carbon steel, and it arrives fully pre-seasoned, so it is ready to use straight from the box rather than needing a long setup before service begins.
The carbon steel body is chosen for a reason: it holds heat well and keeps it there. That makes the pan a strong fit for searing and grilling meat, fish and vegetables, where you want the surface hot, stable and responsive when the food hits it.
It is also properly versatile. The pan is suitable for all hob types, including induction, and it is oven safe up to 350°C, so you can move a dish from the stove top to the oven without changing gear. The black finish, 310 mm width, 520 mm depth and 130 mm height give it a substantial footprint, while the 2.112 kg gross weight reflects the kind of build this pan is meant to have.
