This is what we call food with a view!😍

Our carbon steel pans are an excellent cookware option for campers, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts. They are lighter than their cast iron cousins, heat up and cool down faster, and offer a more even heat (with fewer hot spots).

Try our carbon steel pans on your next outdoor adventure!

HAND FORGED CARBON STEEL SKILLETS

Our skillets have been created around the unique cooking properties of carbon steel, ergonomics, and the graceful plasticity of decorative forged metal. The forged fluting on the outside walls of the skillets allows for a heavy base (which is ideal for cooking) while reducing the weight of the walls. The weight of the handles has also been carefully adjusted to provide an optimal balance point. The result is a skillet that conducts extremely well - providing fine temperature control - and is enjoyable to cook with.
