CARBON CLAD CONSTRUCTION – The only 3-ply carbon steel pan with an aluminum core for fast, even heating and a cooking surface that’s seasonable and naturally stick-resistant. LIGHTEST CARBON STEEL PAN: Half the weight of traditional carbon steel, without sacrificing strength or durability. EVEN HEATING PERFORMANCE: Aluminum core distributes heat evenly and fast, eliminating hot spots and ensuring consistent cooking results. NATURALLY STICK-RESISTANT: The carbon steel surface becomes stick-resistant when seasoned, improving with use over time. No unnatural coatings - NO PTFE or PFOA BUILT TO LAST A LIFETIME: Metal utensil safe and endlessly re-seasonable, never wears out, only gets better with time.

COMFORTABLE STAY COOL HANDLE: Our cast stainless steel handle is designed to minimize heat transfer and give you a comfortable, controlled grip on your pan.
