# 8" Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan - Made In

Durable enough for your grill, stove, oven, or open fire, our Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan is the key to unlocking high-heat searing, grilling, and more.

Our best-selling Carbon Steel Frying Pan, now seasoned to help you achieve a naturally non stick surface.

## Description

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. The hollow build of our proprietary Stay Cool Handle™ dissipates heat to keep it from getting scalding hot while on the stovetop. This means the heat stays on your ingredients, not your hands. See how this chef-loved pan will replace cast iron as your favorite kitchen heirloom.

### ★★★★★ Embrace the changing patina of seasoned carbon ste

My son had previously recommended seasoned carbon steel pan to me. When poorly constructed non stick pans became increasingly more worrisome,I purchased a seasoned carbon steel pan. I love it. It took a few weeks to adjust my cooking technique, but now I’ve got it figured out. Mynson says “ You can’t hurt these pans” and I believe that’s true. And, as the company suggests, I’ve embrased the changing patina!”

### ★★★★★ Awesome pans even after 5 years!

I have purchased the 10 in and 12 inches carbon steel non seasoned pans 5 years ago. I absolutely  love them. These are my go to pans! It is now well seasoned and put to use daily. I sear salmon, steaks and pork chops and they come out beautifully. I love searing the skin of the salmon, it comes out like the restaurant. LOVE THESE PANS!!
I also love the dutch oven which is my favorite over the competitor, which i also have.

— Hcgolf

### ★★★★★ Excellent pan

Excellent pan. The most reliable I have ever used.

— David B

### ★★★★★ Gear up & sear up with Made In

As expected when I purchase from Made In, this product was exactly as described and we can't seem to quit using it for our many seared proteins, particularly the blackened salmon, which comes out just right every time.  Quality kitchenware at a great price.  Hard to get so enthused about cooking?  Try Made In.

— David H

### ★★★★★ 12-in carbon steel pan

This pan was ready to go right out of the box didn't have to do a thing and worked flawlessly.

— Buddy

### ★★★★★ So far so good!

They have been great! We are working on breaking them in and learning the new techniques but they have been excellent so far. They heat and cool quickly and I found sever great videos online to get started.

— Rick

### ★★★★★ 12" carbon steel pan

Good quality and performance but a bit heavy as I purchased the 12"

— Steven

### ★★★★★ Great pan. Nice weight.

Great pan. The original seasoning didn’t last two cooks but it’s a breeze to re-season and is now virtually non-stick. Aand so much lighter than my cast irons!

— Sharon in Canada

### ★★★★★ My favorite new pan!

I own many Made In pans, and they are all high quality.  This is my most recent purchase and I love it!  It comes pre-seasoned and I followed the instructions and seasoned it once again and I couldn't be happier.  The price point is spot on and the 12 inch pan provides more than enough cooking area to work with.  Highly recommended!!

— Anonymous

### ★★★★★ Give me some carbon steel

Was blown away first time I use made the best fried pork chops I ever had yum yum!

— waterford

### ★★★★★ No more nonstick

Nonstick pans have never been great, and PFAS- free seem to be even worse. These carbon steel pans are performing better and should last much longer.

— Vicki D.

### ★★★★☆ Maybe

For me, this pan is challenging.  It worked great on day-one. Then, it didn't.  Even though I have watching the care videos, and made several attempts to re-season, it's a challenge to cook with. For example, I cooked/heated polenta on it, and even with low heat, oil and a fresh seasoned coat, the food stuck to the bottom.  I will keep trying to make it better.

— Nickname

### ★★★★★ Great craftsmanship

Solid Swedish craftsmanship that feels substantial without being too heavy. I took it through a couple of oven seasoning cycles and it cooks wonderfully.

— Eric

### ★★★★★ Problems with a good pan

Directions for  seasoning VARY from enclosed info, website and ads. I had to season twice as i learned what worked. Why not just say,"remove the dark shipping coating"?  Its easy to do. Love the pan, not the directions!  Cleaning with salt is a dream! So easy. Handle stays cool but is hard to fit into the oven.  Sears meat nicely.  Wish i had a ventilated pan cover. Really glad i bought this!

— Rose

### ★★☆☆☆ Can’t get it to be non-stick

I’ve tried everything to get my 25cm carbon steel pan to become non stick and I’m on the verge of giving up and chucking the pan away. 
All previous reviews seem a bit too good to be true in my opinion. I normally get a pan to be able to fry an egg without it welding to the pan after 4 or 5 good seasonings and a bit of use but I’ve had no joy with this one. Disappointed.

— Pete

### ★★★★★ If cast iron and stainless had a baby

love my cast iron pans, but not the weight - these are my new go to

— Dave

### ★★★★★ Flip that egg

Great heavy duty pan eggs flip without sticking after seasoned a couple times and cooked in with bacon and burger. Cleaning is pretty easy even when stuff has burnt on in the pan.

— Bill

### ★★★★☆ It’s not all black and white

We are still learning how to cook and clean these guys. We have been following all of the care instructions and it seems most off the “seasoning” has been stripped away. We will continue to care for them and see if we can get them back to black.

— Downton Timmy

### ★★★★★ Fried rice!

Fried rice has never become easier to make. I love how great the wok and frying pan works.

— Gurinder

### ★★★★★ Seasoning

Needed seasoning out of the box but was nonstick after one coat and feels great to use

— Travis F

### ★★★★☆ great pan

Very good pan, base cook area is a bit smaller than expected,

— chandler

### ★★★★★ To be Honest!

To be honest, I had some trouble at first with the carbon steel.  But after I used it several times and worked on seasoning it, I am doing a lot better.  It is very important to use it with a fatty food at first, so the pan stays seasoned.  I didn't do that with the first try and my eggs stuck to the pan.  I had to start seasoning it from that point on.  The seasoning process is not hard, it just takes time.  So my advice is to follow the directions that Made In gives you and you will do great.

— Karen

### ★★★★★ Carbon steel pan versatility

Fantastic pan- especially for grill.  I've enjoyed using pan for roasting peppers on the grill, searing steaks and pork chops, leaving the mess outside.  On our induction top it easily cooks eggs or browns hashbowns for breakfast.  Not too heavy and cleans up well.

— Charles E

### ★★★☆☆ Good pan, but small cooking surface for the size

Good heavy pan, but it's got a small surface area for cooking. The actual flat cooking surface is only 24cm, whilst the pan is 30cm. The sides are sloped so there is a lot of wasted space. Considering this would typically be used a lot for high heat meat cooking, and not sauces you don't need to have slopes so big. It could be steeper walled and it would be more useful.

— S lee

### ★★★★★ Game Changer!!

Never used Carbon Steel before this purchase. Was told that it's very similar to Cast Iron, which it is, but it's so much more lightweight and easy to use. Creates the perfect sear on my proteins, and the design makes butter basting so easy! Love this purchase and would recommend to anyone!

— Andy O

### ★★★★★ Most use 2026 Purchase!

Beautiful construction and versatility next to none, this is a robust set for day to day use, lighter than conventional cast iron and safer than traditional non-stick with similar cooking convince. Loving it more every day.

— Affan

### ★★★★★ Solid pans

I wanted to get away from nonstick pans so I chose these.  There is a slight learning curve if you haven’t used cast iron or carbon pans, but I think it’s worth it. The pans are heavy and made well.  The heating is even and so far I am happy with them.

— Nicole

### ★★★★★ Great pan.

Wonderful, quick even heating. Its been functioning really well on oven, grill or open fire.

— Jed

### ★★★★★ 



— Rick

### ★★★★★ First time using carbon steel and we get the hype!

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He loves to cook and is very partial to his cast iron skillets which he takes care of meticulously. I think he was a little skeptical at first and wasn't sure that he needed this given that we have great cast iron pans.  I'm very happy to report that this is his new go to pan. I too have used it a few times and it cooked eggs brilliantly.  No sticking.
