# Chef Tom Colicchio x Made In Carbon Steel Pan - Made In Meticulously designed to the exacting standards of one of our favorite chefs, the Tom Colicchio x Made In Carbon Steel Pan is a classic that’s years in the making. After 18 months of product development and 3D scanning, we remastered Chef Tom Colicchio’s favorite frying pan so you can make it your own. ## Description Long before we collaborated on Fishing Knives and Roasting Pans, Tom mentioned this specific Carbon Steel Frying Pan a lot—almost enough to make us jealous, and definitely enough to make us curious. That led us first to a 3D printer, where we scanned Tom’s perfect pan, undoing 30 years worth of James Beard Award-winning cooking and hard-earned seasoning, to finally (re)create Tom’s Pan, which he purchased from Zabar’s in the 1980s. 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. The pan clocks in at 2.5mm thick—compared to our standard 2.0mm—to add extra heft, quality, and durability. The 100% brass handle is long and easy to reach, even from the back of the oven. Brass develops its own unique patina and character over time, evolving alongside the Pan’s seasoning. ## Dimensions - **Total Length:** 19” - **Total Height: **2.1” - **Cooking Surface Diameter: **6.87” - **Weight:** 3.2 lbs ## Care - Hand Wash Only - Lifetime Warranty ## 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.

Handle is terrible. It's poorly angled for a pan this heavy - you need to grasp it close to the pan for any control and as everyone has noted the handle gets super hot. So you basically have to use oven mitts with this guy. And the pan itself is very poorly made - I did the oven seasoning twice before using. And after cooking one sauce with wine and lemon, the seasoning was *stripped* from the pan, leaving it discolored. No complaints about the non-stick, but if half the point of spending this money on the pan are its looks, you want the pan to keep those looks. But it turns out to be extremely fragile for a pan this burly. This has ruined my trust in this company. — Disappointed. ### ★☆☆☆☆ High-Maintenance The most high-maintenance pan I've ever owned. Dont buy this unless you want to endlessly season and keep away from every drop of moisture when you store it. I oil this thing like crazy before and after use ... still comes out with rust and everything still sticks. And don't plan to use the handle unless you have a NASA-grade oven mitt. I have many other Made In pans, including carbon-steel with zero issues. This thing is unusable. Going in the garbage. — TK ### ★★★★★ I waited too long to buy this pan The 9” pan is the perfect size when cooking for two. I trusted the directions to just keep cooking with it and sure enough the pan is non-stick enough to cook my morning egg in it now. — Zach ### ★★★★☆ Nice carbon steel pan...with a flaw. I understand this is a niche piece of cookware. Its a nice carbon steel pan with one major flaw, in my perspective. I knew going in, based on the handle design and handle material, that the handle would get quite hot, very quickly. Made-In knew it as well, which is why Made-In included a hand towel with each pan. There is nothing inherently wrong with this, they the wanted the pan to be a close to the original pan it was inspired by as it could be. It's a gorgeous looking pan, and the preseasoning is convenient and makes for a high performing carbon steel pan. However; the handle gets so hot, so quickly, that I can't, in good faith, give it a 5 star review. — Corey ### ★★★★★ Excellent pan, definitely worth the price Cooks superbly; love using this excellent pan. Made it non-stick and keep it that way easily, via the same methods I use for cast iron. In my opinion, low-star ratings based on the cooking surface/performance of this pan are entirely unjustified and probably are posted by reviewers who don’t know how to, or don’t have the patience to, properly season and maintain a pan of this type. Same thing with the “hot handle” objections — yes, the pan handle gets hot. So does a roasting pan coming out of a hot oven. I like using this pan sufficiently to also buy the new smaller size plus both sizes for our summer home. — Anonymous --- URL: https://madeincookware.com/products/tom-colicchio-pan/9-inch
