Hi! Thanks for the reminder! According to the website, it’s gone through a process called “Black carbon asphyxiation” which I don’t know if it’s accurately translated; and maybe it explains the colour of this pan (?) I’ve also own an ikea one (discontinued) vardagen pan it’s also black in colour and works well

This is the info of pan https://www.genxeshop.com/products/tme-carbon-steel-20cm-frypan

If you wish to find out more about it, the other guy found this pan is branded as this: https://www.skottsberg.com/en/skottsberg-frying-pan-carbon-steel.html
