Lighter, easier and stronger—there’s a reason carbon steel is the choice of professional kitchens. Pre-seasoned to get you started, this Obsidian carbon steel 12" frypan develops a naturally non-stick layer with use that’s ideal for frying delicate fish, crafting an omelet, or getting a perfect sear on pork chops. The more you use the pan, the better the non-stick patina layer will be. Precision engineered for powerful performance anywhere you need it, this pan travels effortlessly from stovetop to grill. This pan also comes with a removable silicone sleeve to keep cooking comfortably. Oven safe up to 600˚F/315˚C. Hand washes only.
I bought this pan for my mother. She can't handle the weight of cast iron, and her steel pans perform poorly. I read reviews of several carbon steel pans, and the OXO 10" was the obvious choice. It weighs only 2.6 pounds, and gets high marks for its sloped sides, large cooking surface, non-stick performance, and cool, comfortable handle. After several hours of use, the surface has changed color, but it's still well seasoned and non-stick. Mom likes it and I think it's a joy to use.. Anonymous. Wed Apr 08 2026
