I was skeptical to invest because 1) they’re expensive and 2) I had my heart set on the beautiful Caraway line. Well, after seeing some videos how most non-stick pans are created to be thrown away in a few years—and how terrible they are for the environment—I took the plunge into carbon steel and cast iron. It is an adjustment, they aren’t as “pretty,” and they take some work to season, but I am SO happy with my purchase. I can already tell they are built to last!

After owning it for a week of daily cooking its looking fantastic, I seasoned with grapesees oil in the oven and it was nonstick after the last season. Handle stays cool throughout hightemp cooking as well. Would definitely recommend this pan as a lifetime purchase.

This fry pan is fantastic! I have other fry pans in my collection but this one is quickly becoming my favorite. It’s perfect for searing off sous vide steaks or preparing steaks in the oven, great for sautéing a generous amount of veg for dinner or for using in soup (just made a batch of French Onion soup and this pan was great for caramelizing a large amount of onions) and also big enough to prepare one pan dishes with easy clean up. It’s finally taken on the blue/black color of seasoned carbon steel and I love owning this pan and recommend it to anyone thinking of adding a new pan to their kitchen “toolbox”.
