This is the country fry pan, not the flat crepe pan — the sides curve up higher, so eggs stay put and you can toss a hash without losing half of it over the rim. Raw carbon steel means it takes a hotter, more even sear than nonstick ever will, and it builds its own release surface the more you cook on it. Light for its size, it moves fast between burner and oven. Needs oil and heat to season, and a dry towel instead of a dishwasher, but that’s the trade for a pan that gets better instead of worse the longer it’s on your line.

What cooks are saying
  • 01Seasoning improves with use instead of wearing out
  • 02Higher curved sides handle eggs and loose ingredients better than a flat pan
  • 03Requires real maintenance — dry, oil, no dishwasher — in exchange for performance
Why it's here

The deep sides make it tempting for a tomato or wine braise, but hours of acid lift the seasoning off carbon steel and leave the food tasting of metal. Use it for frying and searing, and braise in enamel.

Why the pros use it

A cheap nonstick pan gets replaced every season or two once the coating scratches out. This one just keeps getting more nonstick on its own, season after season, as long as somebody on the line remembers to dry it and wipe it with oil. On a busy station that does eggs to order or needs a quick sear before the oven, the higher walls of the country shape keep ingredients from sliding off the edge, and the bare steel handles higher heat than a coated pan without flinching. It is a tool that rewards the cook who takes care of it.
