Is this pan worth $49.99?

At $49.99 at Fante's Kitchen Shop as of November 4, 2026, it sits in the normal range for a pre-seasoned 10-inch carbon steel skillet. You pay for induction compatibility and high oven heat, not for a nonstick coating.

How is carbon steel different from cast iron?

Carbon steel is thinner and lighter, so it heats and responds faster, while cast iron holds heat longer. Both need seasoning and hand washing.

Can I use it on an induction cooktop?

Yes. The pan is induction ready and listed for gas, electric and induction stoves.

How do I keep it from sticking?

Season it with a thin coat of oil after washing and drying, and cook fatty or starchy foods first. Avoid simmering acidic sauces until the seasoning is well built.

The frying pan only. No lid is included.

Only one store lists it new, so there is little price competition. Watch for sales at Fante's Kitchen Shop rather than expecting a lower price elsewhere.

Our take on the Merten & Storck Pre-Seasoned 10-inch Carbon Steel Frying Pan

The Merten & Storck Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan is a 10-inch skillet made for high-heat searing, frying and oven finishing. Carbon steel heats fast, is lighter than cast iron and, unlike nonstick coatings, can take oven temperatures up to 660°F. It works on gas, electric and induction, and the pre-seasoned surface builds a natural nonstick patina with use. The best new price is $49.99 at Fante's Kitchen Shop as of November 4, 2026, with only one store listing it new.
