# Carbon Steel Frying Pans | 8", 10", and 12" - Made In Our Award-Winning Blue Carbon Steel Frying Pans are heirloom-quality pieces that are durable enough for use on stoves, grills, ovens, or over open flame. Like cast iron, but better. French chefs’ best-kept secret for high-heat searing. ## Description 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. Each Frying Pan is crafted in a French village where Carbon Steel has been made since the 1700s. We stamp Carbon Steel into a thin disc that’s half the weight of cast iron but every bit as durable. It seasons faster, responds quicker, and is rugged enough for your grill or open flame. This means you can use a ripping hot pan to create crisp, flavorful steak exterior then drop the temperature down before the center of your cut overcooks. 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. ## Dimensions - Total Length: 21.5” - Total Diameter: 12.5” - Total Height: 4.5” - Depth: 2.25” - Cooking Surface Diameter: 9.25” - Weight: 4.31 lbs ## Care - Hand Wash Only - Requires Seasoning - [Carbon Steel Care Guide](https://madeincookware.com/blogs/carbon-steel-care-guide) ## Shipping, Warranty, and Returns - We offer Free Shipping on all orders over $49 in the contiguous U.S. We also ship internationally to over 200 countries.

It's quite heavy, even compared to cast iron, and the pre-seasoning isn't that great. You'll definitely have to season it a few times and expect your first few dishes to stick the pan. I think my main issue with this pan is that the material is rough. I've owned both cast iron and carbon steel before, but something particular about Made In pans is that they seem to catch paper towel fibers really easily, which is a problem when you're trying to season them according to their instructions. The pan is often " "fuzzy" with fibers after a seasoning attempt. — Sunny ### ★★★☆☆ Not sure why Made In does not offer a Non Pre-seasoned version of this pan but I would have rather had a standard carbon steel pan. The seasoned texture is rough to the touch. My other standard Made In pans have a nice smooth surface and after I seasoned them they cook very well. I guess some folks would rather not have to bother with seasoning but for me it's part of making the pan yours. I've never been a fan of spray on factory seasoning. I will not buy any more Made In pans that are pre-seasoned. — Bob S ### ★★★★★ Solid pans period. If you cook you need this cookware...Takes some getting use to... the discoloration, cleaning, seasoning, etc. I have never see any good food cook in unused cookware...the more you use it the better it gets — Miguel D. ### ★★★★★ I like that it’s not as heavy as cast-iron and it does the same job easy clean up. I’ve always recommended Bought one for my daughter. — Henry B. --- URL: https://madeincookware.com/products/blue-carbon-steel-frying-pan/12-inch-unseasoned
