This is a pre-seasoned carbon steel skillet, stamped thin so it weighs about half as much as a cast-iron pan of the same size. It heats fast, sears hard and takes on a natural nonstick surface as it seasons, with sloping walls that let you toss and slide food. The hollow Stay Cool handle is meant to stay cooler on the stovetop than a solid metal handle. It suits cooks who want cast-iron searing without the weight; cast iron still holds heat longer and is cheaper, while stainless is easier to clean but not nonstick.

This is a pre-seasoned carbon steel frying pan. It comes seasoned with a mixture of shea nut oil and coconut oil, so the first two seasonings, the hardest ones, are already done. Carbon steel combines the heat retention of cast iron with the control and maneuverability of stainless clad, and it works as a natural non-stick alternative.
The pan is stamped from carbon steel into a thin disc. It weighs half as much as cast iron and is just as durable. It seasons faster, responds quicker to heat changes, and is rugged enough for a grill or open flame.
Sloping walls and a wide surface give maximum heat contact for high-heat searing. The handle, called the Stay Cool Handle, has a hollow build that dissipates heat so it does not get scalding hot on the stovetop.
