Pre-seasoned with a mixture of shea nut oil and coconut oil we've taken care of the first two seasonings (the hardest ones) so you can experience the difference Carbon Steel makes on day one. Our Carbon Steel combines the heat retention of cast iron with the control and maneuverability of Stainless Clad resulting in a natural non stick alternative. We stamp Carbon Steel into a thin disc that's half the weight of cast iron but every bit as durable so it seasons faster responds quicker and is rugged enough for your grill or open flame. With sloping walls and a wide surface this pan provides maximum heat contact for high-heat searing. See how this chef-loved pan will replace cast iron as your favorite kitchen heirloom.
