*Click here for how to season and care for the Turk Iron Pan*
The Turk Classic Frying Pan is a hand-forged iron pan made from a single piece of iron, which is the result of an unchanged manufacturing process that Turk has used in Solingen, Germany since 1857. What you get is a pan structurally sound for a lifetime of use, and one that performs entirely differently from coated cookware — it requires seasoning, rewards attention, and improves with every use as its natural cooking surface builds.
The defining quality of this pan is its pure, hand-forged iron that results in exceptional thermal performance. As the iron builds heats, it stays even and consistent. That stability, and heat is what produces the deep, even crust on steak and other proteins. The 26cm diameter handles everyday tasks well — eggs, fish, sautéed vegetables, and single portions of protein. The handle is forged from the same piece of iron as the pan body — nothing to loosen or fail over time.
Turk has been making hand-forged iron pans in Solingen, Germany since 1857, making it one of the oldest continuously operating cookware manufacturers in the world. Each pan is forged by hand in their Solingen workshop using the same technique that has defined the company for over 150 years. The Classic line is their original product — unchanged in design, material, and method.
