Color contrast
Carbon steel frying pan, layers of oil burned on in cooking. Silver/gray when they come but change color with seasoning and use.

Re: Color contrast
So, is that how the Italians do the ones without true bone-charcoal color-case hardening?
Re: Color contrast
In my experience, those thin pot metal pans get hot spots that heat up unevenly, stick, and burn stuff. No substitute for quality cast iron.

Hi Jay, I've read that they use some type of acid wash to get that effect.Ysabel Kid wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 5:04 pm So, is that how the Italians do the ones without true bone-charcoal color-case hardening?
Just drop one of yours in vinegar (a mild acid), swish it around, and show us how it comes out.

Re: Color contrast
The good carbon steel pans are thicker and heavier then the thin restaurant pans, yes they do heat up faster but hot spots aren't as noticeable, and they do season to a point like cast, and are much easier to handle then cast iron with this broke down body...

IIRC the chemical color case is done with arsenic.Old No7 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 7:28 pmHi Jay, I've read that they use some type of acid wash to get that effect.Ysabel Kid wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 5:04 pmSo, is that how the Italians do the ones without true bone-charcoal color-case hardening?

Re: Color contrast
I put cold blue on my Pietta 1860 Army and it blued it.
I had a Colt 44 Soecial SAA where the opening for the loading gate was a touch too small to let fured cases eject. I opened it up with a round ceramic sharpening rod which left it silver. The CCH is only a surface effect. I put cold blue on that and the CCH pattern returned.
