PAN 999 Pan

From a deli­cate poach to a careful sauté, Tobia Scarpa’s PAN 999 Pan does it all with panache. The Pan is defined by a char­ac­ter­is­tic border with, along with the hollow handles, makes pouring a cinch. The Pan is a stand­out of Scarpa’s Cooking in Silver cook­ware line, manu­fac­tured by the Milanese silver­smith studio San Lorenzo; as with its compan­ion sauce and frying pans, the Pan is made of pure iron with an inte­rior pure silver, which conducts heat more uniformly than copper while remain­ing antibac­te­r­ial whether used on conduc­tion, glass, ceramic cook­tops or with gas burners and ovens. A single lid tops any pan in the line, and all may be easily cleaned with a simple appli­ca­tion of White of Spain non-toxic clay. 

The PAN 999 collec­tion uses pure silver and pure iron that makes cooking healthy, safe, and bene­fi­cial because pure silver has a perma­nent antibi­otic func­tion that has no nega­tive effects on the human body. Sulfi­da­tion (black­en­ing) of the silver surface during cooking is normal and to be expected. It occurs without any nega­tive effect on health and on food quality and can be peri­od­i­cally removed with the non-toxic White of Spain (puri­fied clay) included with each piece. Strew clay over silver surface and rub with damp paper towel or cloth, then rinse.

The rest of the PAN 999 collec­tion includes a pot, saucepan, frying pan, and a lid. All of these pieces are sold indi­vid­u­ally at Cooks & Poets.
