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. ## Features - Made in France - Superior Heat Control - Naturally Non Stick - Compatible with Gas, Electric, and Induction Cooktops - Heat Safe to 1200°F (650°C) - Lifetime Warranty ## Dimensions - Total Length: 15” - Total Diameter: 8” - Total Height: 3.46” - Depth: 1.8” - Cooking Surface Diameter: 5.5” - Weight: 2 lbs ## Care - Hand Wash Only - Requires Seasoning - Heat Safe to 1200°F (650°C) ## From the Press - “A restaurant workhorse for your kitchen.” —_The New York Times_ - “What the pros use.” —_Wall Street Journal_ - "Combines the best qualities of cast iron and stainless steel.” _—Insider_ ## Shipping, Warranty, and Returns - Shipping: free US shipping on orders over $99.

Our Carbon Steel Cookware works on the stovetop, on the grill, and in the oven. ### Is Carbon Steel Good for Cooking? Carbon Steel is great for cooking at high temperatures. From stir fry, to fried eggs, omelets, and plenty more, our construction eliminates hot spots, and the separate stainless steel handle makes it much better than a cast iron skillet. ### What is the difference between Carbon steel and Stainless Steel? One of the biggest differences between these two materials is that Carbon Steel requires seasoning. However, both heat well, and are great for home cooks. ### What's the difference between Seasoned and Unseasoned? Seasoning helps your pan develop a non stick surface, makes clean up easier, and keeps the surface of your pan protected from rust and corrosion. With our Seasoned pans, we’ve taken care of the first two seasonings so you can get cooking faster than ever. ## Customer Reviews ### ★★★★★ Great addition to the cookware...Takes some getting use to and you must take care of the pans in order to get the best use — Miguel D. ### ★★☆☆☆ I think this pan is a bit overpriced for what you get. 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. ### ★★★★★ It’s such a beautiful well-made pan. I use it to make everything chicken stirfry rice. It’s one stop shot pan. — Susan H. ### ★★★★★ 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. ### ★★★★★ The blue carbon steel pan was Exactly what I was hoping to get. A perfect pan! — Jeanmarie Querol aymil ### ★★★★★ What a wonderful pan, as good as my favorite Griswold cast iron pan, without the weight, it’s so light. — Sue C. ### ★★★★★ Once seasoned, especially with provided seasoning, works like a charm. Very easy cleanup. Just be careful about any acidic material. Steaks and burgers are seared perfectly and juicy. — gabriel f. ### ★★★★★ Got these as a Christmas gift last year and they have become the most used pans in my kitchen. And hands-down, they make the best bacon ever. — Mark S --- URL: https://madeincookware.com/products/blue-carbon-steel-frying-pan/8-inch-unseasoned
