The Carbon steel skillet made by Made In is an incredible piece of cookware. The pan was launched in 2019. Since its entry into the market, it has become a favorite with many professionals.
Fans of the Carbon Steel Skillet include kitchen editors and professional chefs. This is thanks to its sturdy material. Even though it is sturdy, it is still lighter than cast iron. It is suitable for use with both stovetops and ovens. The skillet can withstand up to 1200 degrees of heat.
The only bad news is that it needs seasoning before the first use. This quality is similar to the cast iron version. The good news is that Made In designed it to make your work easier. They created a carbon steel skillet pan that can be used immediately you unbox it. The thing is; the new version of the pan is super limited.
You can breathe a sigh of relief as Made In will season the pan and deliver a ready to use item on your doorstep. There are various size options available which include the 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch pans. According to Chip Malt, who is both CEO and co-founder of the company, this will make the process easier for those confused or those who find it daunting to season the pan themselves. Additionally, seasoning of the pan by Made In saves the consumers’ time.
When seasoning the pan, the first step recommended by Made In is layering the pan with seed oil (American Flax). The pan is then baked on high temperature for a short while to create a surface that is glass-like. The surface, in turn, becomes more resistant to sticking with time. Translation: What this means is that even after searing meat at incredibly high temperatures, you can expect it to slide off the seasoned pan with much ease.
If it’s your first time working with skillets from Made In, you might need reassurance that it is worth the price.
Meghan Splawn praised the pan and added that it easily outperforms standard skillets. The Food Editor tested the pan for more than a year using it for various purposes which ranged from prepping vegetables and frittatas to roasting chicken in the oven.
Meghan observed that the pan made her feel like a professional chef without having to part with the price of a stainless steel pan. The deal is now even sweeter with pre seasoned pans on the market.
At the moment, Made In is only releasing limited number of pre seasoned pans. Depending on how well they do on the market, the company will decide whether to release more of them. If you have your eye on one of the company’s carbon skillets, now is your chance to get one.
