Is the Made In carbon steel pan worth $129?

It is a buy-it-for-life pan that sears better than most nonstick skillets. If you want low maintenance, a cheaper nonstick pan is the better fit.

How does it compare with a cast iron skillet?

Carbon steel is lighter and heats faster than cast iron, so it is easier to toss and control. Cast iron holds heat longer and costs less.

Does it work on induction?

Yes. The pan is induction ready and works on gas and electric stoves too.

The pre-seasoned 12-inch carbon steel frying pan only. No lid is included.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. Hand-wash it, dry it fully and re-season after use to keep the surface nonstick.

When is the best time to buy it?

Our take on the Made In Carbon Steel 12 Inch Frying Pan

The Made In Carbon Steel 12 Inch Frying Pan is a pre-seasoned carbon steel skillet built for high-heat searing, frying and oven finishing. Carbon steel heats fast, is naturally nonstick once seasoned, and is oven safe up to 1200F, so it moves from stovetop to broiler. At $129 at Made In as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range; two stores carry it new, so compare before buying.
