Blue carbon steel cookware is carbon steel that has undergone a heat treatment process called 'annealing' or 'blueing.' This process involves heating the cookware to high temperatures, which causes a chemical reaction on the surface, forming a thin layer of iron oxide. This layer gives the cookware a bluish tint, hence the name 'blue carbon steel.' The main difference between blue carbon steel and regular carbon steel is this additional heat treatment. Blue carbon steel has increased corrosion and rust resistance compared to untreated carbon steel. However, both types still require seasoning for optimal performance and longevity. The blue color is temporary and will fade with use and seasoning. Functionally, blue carbon steel performs similarly to regular carbon steel, offering excellent heat conductivity and durability. Both types develop a natural non-stick surface with proper seasoning and use. While the blue treatment provides some initial protection, it doesn't eliminate the need for proper care and seasoning. Both blue and regular carbon steel cookware require similar maintenance to prevent rust and maintain their cooking performance.
