Blue Carbon Steel Pan
Overall Score

We just got our hands on the Made In Cookware Carbon Steel frying pan and we have to say, we’re pretty impressed. This is definitely a step up from cast iron. It’s lighter, responds quicker, and is more maneuverable – perfect for high-heat searing. The sloping walls and wide surface make it easy to get maximum heat contact, so your food cooks evenly every time. Plus, the pre-seasoned with bassao oil, coconut oil, and sunflower oil makes it ready to use right out of the box – no hard seasoning required. We can’t wait to put this pan to use in our kitchen!

Carbon Steel Country Pan
Overall Score

We love our de Buyer Carbon Steel Country Pan! It heats evenly and has a naturally nonstick surface that needs no synthetic coating. The darker the better with this pan, as the beeswax finish protects against oxidation. It’s also oven-safe and induction-ready. We found it to be an essential kitchen tool for whisking sauces, making ice cream, and more. Engineered and manufactured following the most stringent quality requirements, it’s no wonder this pan is a favorite among chefs.

Merten & Storck Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel skillet – lightweight, quick heating carbon steel skillet outperforms our cast iron skillets. The nonstick patina that forms with use is amazing- the more you cook, the more nonstick it gets! The sturdy stainless steel handle is riveted to create a sturdy hold, and the silicone coating on the skillet protects it during shipping. We’re looking forward to many years of use with this fantastic skillet!
