The cooking surface is polished bare iron, and the outside carries a baked-on rice bran oil seasoning. Nothing on the pan is plastic. The packaging is why this is Silver: Solidteknics says its pans arrive in a plastic-free calico bag, but it states that on the 20cm page, not this one, and it doesn't describe the carton or tape. At 3 liters and 2.1 kg it's a family-size pan, and it works on induction. Wash by hand and wipe it with a little oil.",
