Hand Forged in the USA. Lifetime Guarantee. Naturally non-stick.
Why This Skillet? Inspired by historic American blacksmithing with the modern addition of a stainless steel handle. Most hand-forged carbon steel cookware uses carbon steel handles; ours are hand forged from stainless steel, which conducts heat about a third as well as carbon steel, so the handle stays cooler longer during everyday cooking and keeps a beautiful hammered silver shine. Hand-forged and limited in quantities, each skillet, wok, and roaster is visually unique while sharing fundamental design elements, including stainless steel hammered handles textured for easy gripping and a beautiful pre-seasoned interior finish. With performance that rivals cast iron at a lighter weight, this carbon steel skillet is a functional and beautiful workhorse for your kitchen. The #11 excels as a universal skillet that will never leave your stovetop — perfect for omelets or cooking up to five eggs for a family breakfast, large enough to sear a steak, yet small enough to leave plenty of room on the stovetop.
Each item is handmade, forged, and assembled on our homestead in the USA. All cookware is thoughtfully made, and minor variations, blemishes, and scratches in each item can be expected due to the handmade nature of artisan craftsmanship. All items are inspected repeatedly for quality and are guaranteed for life.

Care
Carbon steel rewards a little care with a lifetime of use. Avoid soap after the first wash — hot water and a stiff brush or chainmail scrubber are usually enough to clean off cooked-on food. Dry your pan thoroughly and immediately after washing to prevent rust, then apply a very light coat of oil to protect the surface between uses. If your seasoning wears thin or rust spots appear, a simple oven re-season brings it right back.
Protect it between uses: Our handmade Skillet Seasoning Wax, made with beeswax from the hives on our farm and cold-pressed avocado and coconut oil, conditions carbon steel and keeps rust away in storage. Completely non-toxic, just like your cookware.

Safety
All metal cookware gets hot during use — including handles, lids, and utensils. Always use an oven mitt or towel when handling, keep hot cookware away from children, and allow it to cool before cleaning.
