STABILOTHERM Hunter's frying pan Foldable Original S4

Stabilotherm produces the original hunter’s frying pan. Kaj from Småland wanted a compact frying pan to bring along on hunting trips and came up with the idea of a pan with a folding handle. The first hunter’s frying pan with a folding handle was delivered by Stabilotherm in the 1980s.



Since then, hunter’s frying pans have been produced in several sizes – all made from carbon steel and manufactured in Sweden.



The Hunter Frying Pan Original S4 is the largest model in the series. Its generous size makes it ideal when cooking for several people. Despite its size, it remains easy to carry thanks to the folding handle. This model features a folding shaft and a birch wood handle for a comfortable grip.



Stabilotherm’s hunter frying pans are made in Sweden from carbon steel, a material well suited for open-fire cooking and high temperatures. The more the pan is used, the better its cooking properties become. The inspiration comes from the traditional Nordic dish kolbulle, historically prepared by railway workers, charcoal burners, and lumberjacks during long periods without access to fresh ingredients.



Since the 1980s, these pans have become a trusted tool among hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts.



Before first use



Wash the pan thoroughly using hot water and a small amount of dish soap. Dry it completely.

Note that models S1–S4 are delivered with a thin protective oil layer that is removed during this step.



Season the pan to create its natural non-stick surface. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil over the entire pan. If the pan has a wooden handle (S3–S4), remove it before seasoning.



Place the pan directly in the fire until the oil starts to smoke and change color. Repeat the process 3–5 times. Reapply oil if the pan becomes dry.



A properly seasoned pan turns brown-black, often lighter near the edges. Over time, it becomes darker and more refined.
