Hammered Carbon
Steel Skillet
The pan professional kitchens swear by. Light, fast, and the rare pan that gets better the more you cook with it.
Non-stick coatings only get worse with time. Carbon steel does the opposite. With every meal it builds a darker, slicker natural surface, until one day it releases a fried egg like glass and you understand why chefs have cooked on this metal for a hundred years.
01 — THE PANWhat it is
A professional-grade carbon steel skillet with a smooth, uncoated cooking surface and a riveted wooden handle that stays cool in the hand. Carbon steel is the metal of restaurant kitchens and classic crepe pans: high in iron, thinner and far lighter than cast iron, and incredibly responsive to heat, so it reacts the instant you turn the burner up or down.
There is no chemical coating anywhere on this pan. Its non-stick comes from seasoning, a natural layer that builds as you cook. The handle hangs from a loop for easy storage, and the pan performs on every cooktop: gas, electric, ceramic and induction.
02 — THE SEASONINGHow it becomes non-stick
Carbon steel does not arrive non-stick. It earns it. As you cook with oil, thin layers bake onto the surface and bond to the metal, building a smooth, dark, naturally slick patina. This is called seasoning, and it is the same process that makes a treasured cast-iron pan glide.
The more you use it, the better it gets. A coated pan is at its best on day one and declines from there. A carbon steel pan is at its worst on day one and improves for years. Cared for well, it becomes the most non-stick pan you own, with nothing artificial involved.
03 — THE MATERIALWhy carbon steel
Carbon steel gives you the searing power and longevity of cast iron without the dead weight. It heats quickly, holds heat where it matters, and lets you lift, tilt and toss with one hand. Because it is solid metal with no surface layer to protect, it takes the highest heat without a worry, which is exactly what a great sear needs.
It is also a pan you can keep for life. Scratched a coated pan and it is ruined. Carbon steel can always be re-seasoned back to perfect. That permanence is part of what you are paying for: one honest pan instead of a shelf of disposable ones.
04 — THE DIFFERENCEWhy it's built different
- Professional carbon steel — the responsive, high-heat metal trusted in restaurant kitchens worldwide.
- Naturally non-stick — a seasoned surface that releases food cleanly, built by cooking, not sprayed from a can.
- Zero chemical coating — no PTFE, no PFOA. Nothing to flake into your food, ever.
- Real searing heat — develops a deep crust on steak and fish that coated pans simply cannot.
- Light and agile — far lighter than cast iron, easy to lift, tilt and toss.
- Cool wooden handle — riveted, comfortable, with a hanging loop for storage.
- Every cooktop — gas, electric, ceramic and induction.
- A pan for life — always re-seasonable, never disposable.

08 — IN THE BOXWhat you receive
- 1 × Hammered Carbon Steel Skillet
Season it first, then keep it easy
Before the first cook, wash and dry the pan, then heat it over medium with a very thin layer of cooking oil until it just starts to smoke. Let it cool, wipe out the excess, and repeat once or twice. The surface will darken. That is the seasoning forming, and it is what makes the pan non-stick.
From there it is simple: cook with a little oil, and the pan only improves. Start with forgiving foods like bacon, eggs and pancakes for the first few weeks while the seasoning builds.
- Hand wash with hot water and a soft brush. Go easy on soap so you keep the seasoning.
- Dry it fully, ideally over low heat for a minute, so no moisture is left behind.
- Wipe a few drops of oil over the warm surface before storing. This protects it and builds the patina.
- Never leave it wet or soaking. Bare carbon steel can rust if water sits on it.
- Keep it out of the dishwasher, and do not submerge the wooden handle for long.
- Save very acidic foods like tomato and wine for once the seasoning is well established.

09 — QUESTIONSFrequently asked
Is it non-stick out of the box?
Not fully. Carbon steel becomes non-stick through seasoning, a natural oil layer that builds as you cook. After a short break-in of a few uses, food releases beautifully, and it keeps improving from there.
How do I season it?
Wash and dry the pan, heat it with a very thin layer of oil until it just smokes, let it cool, wipe out the excess, and repeat once or twice. The surface darkens, and that dark layer is your non-stick.
Will it rust?
Only if it is left wet. Dry it fully after washing and wipe on a few drops of oil before storing, and it will stay protected for life. This simple habit is the whole secret to carbon steel.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No. The dishwasher strips the seasoning and the wooden handle should not be soaked. Hand wash, dry, and lightly oil. It takes under a minute.
Does it work on induction?
Yes. Carbon steel is naturally magnetic, so it works on induction along with gas, electric and ceramic cooktops.
Can I use metal utensils?
Yes. With no coating to scratch, metal spatulas and tongs are completely fine, and they even help maintain a smooth seasoning.
What sizes are available?
The skillet comes in three sizes: 22 cm, 24 cm and 26 cm (about 8.7, 9.4 and 10.2 inches). Pick the size that matches your most-used burner and the portions you usually cook.
