Know before you buy
Carbon steel is lighter and heats up faster than cast iron, making it more responsive to temperature changes. While it shares similar seasoning requirements, its smoother surface and thinner profile make it ideal for quick searing and sautéing.
Yes, carbon steel is magnetic and works perfectly on induction stovetops. Its flat base ensures consistent contact for efficient heat transfer.
Like cast iron, this skillet should be hand-washed and dried immediately to prevent rust. It is best to apply a light coating of oil after cleaning to maintain the seasoned finish.
The handle is made of carbon steel and will get hot during use. You should always use a heat-resistant handle cover or oven mitt when handling the skillet on the stove or grill.
Yes, carbon steel is extremely durable and can withstand metal spatulas and whisks. Over time, metal utensils may leave marks on the seasoning, but they will not damage the pan itself.
