River Light Kiwame Nitrided Carbon Steel Induction Frypan - 20cm

The 20cm Kiwame frypan is the smallest size in the River Light range, making it an excellent choice for compact, everyday cooking. Its smaller footprint is ideal for single serves and smaller portions — from frying an egg or making a pancake to cooking a small piece of fish or a couple of fillets. Despite its compact size, the generous 12.5cm flat base provides excellent contact with the cooktop and plenty of practical cooking space.

At just 560g, the 20cm frypan is exceptionally easy to lift, manoeuvre and store. Its compact size also makes it a practical option for smaller kitchens, quick meals and cooks who prefer a lighter pan for everyday use. The nitrided carbon steel surface provides improved resistance to rust while retaining the excellent heat response and seasoning characteristics of carbon steel.

Seasoning & Care

Like all carbon steel cookware, this pan needs a quick season before first use to start building its natural non-stick patina. The nitrided surface provides improved resistance to rust and makes the pan easier to maintain than untreated carbon steel.
