A: Carbon steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, combining the quick heating of stainless steel with the heat retention and durability of cast iron—only lighter and smoother.
It heats evenly and develops a natural non stick surface over time through seasoning, making it ideal for a wide range of cooking techniques.

A: Caring for Carbon Steel isn’t as tricky as it sounds. While it takes a bit more effort than soap, water, or the dishwasher, it’s easy once you know how.
After cooking, let your pan cool, then wipe it out with a paper towel or dish rag. Use warm water, coarse salt, or a scrubber from the Carbon Steel Care Kit for tougher bits. Dry immediately and apply a thin coat of oil to prevent rust and keep your seasoning intact.

A: Carbon steel excels at high-heat cooking methods like searing, sautéing, and stir-frying. We love using the Griddle for a full diner breakfast-style fry-up, the Grill Frying Pan over the grill or atop a campfire, and the Frying Pan for high-heat sears.
