I was amazed how well-made this carbon steel frying pan. Thicker in mm, heavy and I can say that I trust the craftmen who worked their craft to an art. Thicker pan such as this will save cooking time as the residual heat will complete my cooking process. I have an Italian-made carbon steel frying pan but the SB beat it for its thickness and artfull workmanship. The only thing that stands out in the Italian pan is its carbon steel handle is welded to the body therefore it doesnt collect after cooking grease and crumbs. A clean pan with no rivets. I just do not understand that you need a bigger capital to make this worked. Ridiculous reply!
Beautiful and really well made. Non-stick out of the butlap bag. No teflon needed. Great heat distribution for my cooking. Love it. Love that its made in SB and the USA.
I live in Santa Barbara so I visited the SB Forge shop, and they could not have been more kind and welcoming. This was my first (test) purchase after several previous carbon steel disappointments. love my large Sonora pan! The look and craftsmanship alone sells it, but it has perfect balance, the artisan handle is awesome, it heats evenly, and the slightly lower sides make it a joy to cook with. Heading down to add to my collection soon!
This pan is made with love and care and craftsman that is far beyond my expectations. It is made so well. I just was blown away at the quality of this pan. Thank you.
Beautifully crafted and exceptional performance right out of the box. Looks and cooks better than carbon steel pans that are 2-3x times the price. You won't be disappointed!
