Brentwood's BCM-21 is a proper 8.5-inch round comal in 1.2mm heavy-gauge carbon steel - a material that takes ferocious heat and gives it straight back, which is exactly what you need for the fast, dry, blistering char that a nonstick skillet can never produce. Welded handles, a nonstick coating, and a jet-black soft-luster finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal Carbon Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2mm heavy-gauge carbon steel - it takes and holds high heat, which is the entire point of a comal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast, Even Heating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon steel comes up to temperature quickly and distributes heat across the whole surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNonstick Coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tortillas, arepas and quesadillas lift cleanly without a slick of oil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong Welded Handles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Welded, not riveted - nothing to work loose over years of high-heat cycling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brentwood explicitly rates this comal as dishwasher safe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e BCM-21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.5 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-gauge carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nonstick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jet-black soft luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dishwasher safe (manufacturer-stated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not published by the manufacturer for this model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorn and flour tortillas, arepas, pupusas, naan, roti, flatbread, quesadillas, charring chiles and tomatoes for salsa, toasting spices and nuts, and a fast fried egg.

It is a griddle, not a frying pan, and it is meant to be used with little or no oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is it dishwasher safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Brentwood states that it is. That said, hand washing and drying immediately is what best preserves any carbon-steel pan's finish over the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does it need seasoning?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Brentwood does not state a seasoning requirement for this model - it ships with a nonstick coating. Traditional bare-carbon-steel comals require seasoning; this one does not, per the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will it work on my cooktop?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Carbon steel is a magnetic material and works on gas and electric. Brentwood does not publish an induction rating for this model, so we do not claim one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrentwood rates the BCM-21 as dishwasher safe, but hand washing and drying immediately is the best practice for any carbon-steel pan - standing water is what causes carbon steel to spot. Avoid metal utensils and abrasive pads, which will damage the nonstick coating. Store dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Brentwood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrentwood publishes real material specs - not just 'steel' but 1.2mm heavy-gauge carbon steel, with the handle construction and coating stated plainly. For a comal at this price, that specificity is unusual, and it is why we can tell you what the pan actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrentwood does not publish a warranty term for this model.
