One pan, made since 2019

The Ridgeline 12″ skillet

Cold-rolled carbon steel, 1.8 mm thick, spun into a 12-inch pan with a riveted steel handle. It arrives raw and gray. You season it, and it turns black over about ten cooks.

What to expect

It is not nonstick when it arrives

Carbon steel builds a seasoning layer through use. Here is the color your pan will actually pass through, and roughly when.

Cook 0Mill gray. Wash off the wax film and dry it on the burner.

Cook 1–2Straw and blotchy. This unevenness is normal, not a defect.

Cook 3–6Bronze. Eggs still stick. Cook fatty things for now.

Cook 7–10Dark brown, mostly even. Release gets noticeably better.

Cook 10+Near black and slick. This is the pan doing its job.

Two things it will do that you may not want: it rusts if you put it away wet, and it reacts with tomato and wine, which strips seasoning. If neither is acceptable in your kitchen, buy stainless instead — we would rather you skip this pan than return it.

Questions

Asked before you ask

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No. It will strip the seasoning and the pan will rust. Hot water, a stiff brush, dry on the burner.

Does it work on induction?

Yes. Carbon steel is magnetic and the base is flat to within 0.5 mm.

Is the handle oven-safe?

Yes, the whole pan is one material family and rated to 900°F. The handle gets hot on the stovetop within a few minutes — use a towel.

Mine arrived with a fingerprint-shaped mark.

That is oxidation under the wax film, not damage. It disappears with the first seasoning round. If it does not, email us a photo and we will replace it.

Do you offer a discount for buying two?

No. One price, all year, including Black Friday. We would rather not run a sale you have to wait for.
