This frying pan is constructed with durable carbon steel, making it the perfect tool for high volume use in any commercial kitchen. The carbon steel construction is lighter than cast iron skillets, making the pan easier to lift and shake with one hand.

The sturdy steel handle of this pan is riveted on to ensure a very rigid connection between handle and vessel, guaranteeing longevity.

This frying pan is designed with sloped sides that make tossing food while sauteing easier to control.

What's the difference between a riveted and a welded handle?

A riveted handle is connected by small metal pieces (called rivets) that are crushed between the handle and the pan body to attach them together. This type of handle is more common on copper and aluminum cookware.

For a handle to be welded, the metal must first be melted and then adhered to the pan body. This creates a strong bond that leaves little to no space in between, so bacteria and other food crumbs can't collect and cause sanitation issues. Both are long lasting solutions for fry and sauce pan handles because they are durable and can withstand heat.

My item arrived coated with a thin layer of oil. What is this oil for, and is it ready for immediate use?

Some carbon steel pans and woks are shipped with a protective oil coating from the factory to prevent them from rusting before their first use. They must be thoroughly washed with warm soapy water to remove all traces of the oil, and then properly seasoned before use.

How is top diameter measured in frying pans, and how accurate is this measurement?

The top diameter is the measurement across the frying pan from the interior of one side of the rim to the other. These dimensions are a close approximation as many frying pans have a curved upper rim, which makes precise measurement difficult. The standard naming is by top diameter, so although multiple brands have a 10" frying pan, there will likely be a small variation between each brand's 10" pan.

How to Season a Pan

Seasoning your pans enables you to cook great-tasting food with minimal oil, butter, or fat. It also provides a stick-resistant surface, allowing for easy clean up, and will keep your pans from rusting quickly. Check out this video to learn how to season cast iron and carbon steel pans.

For a carbon steel pan, start by washing, rinsing, and drying the pan. Heat the pan on your range on medium to high heat, then add shortening to the pan. Use a clean dry towel to spread the shortening around the interior of the pan, creating an even coat. Remove the pan from the heat, wipe out the excess shortening and let it cool. You can repeat this process up to 3 more times. For a cast iron skillet, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and set aside. Wash, rinse, and dry your skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove and coat the entire skillet with shortening, inside and out. Place the skillet in the oven for 45 minutes with the baking pan on a rack below it to catch any mess. You can repeat this process up to three more times.

This has become my go to pan for searing individual portions of meat, poultry, and fish. Whether a burger or a chicken leg, this pan is perfect.

I am a big fan of French pans and this one did not disappointed. As long as you take care of it, you'll have some nice pans for a while

The French Style 8 3/4" Carbon Steel Fry Pan is a good quality pan. The handle is firmly attached and it doesn't get too hot. It heats evenly and is very sturdy. The price is great! I would definitely purchase this again.

Unimpressive. Imparted a metallic taste to even the most bland foods even after being seasoned correctly. Low quality shows in poor construction and thin body.

Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry this pan did not meet your expectations. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team!

Wow. Simply Wow. I have been looking for a smaller french style pan for omelets and such. I have a lot of good cookware but no French style pans at all. This is the first one that I have bought and I am so happy i did! The pan is very well made and was easy to season (thank you for the vid on this site!) I have used this several times already and I love it. Heats up quickly and evenly and clean-up is a snap. I plan to purchase all the other sizes when I can. The price cannot be beaten either.

This was my first carbon steel pan and I love it! I use to use cast iron and stainless steel pots and pans, but I'm a total carbon steel convert. The pricing on these pans is also way below some of the other name brands but it holds up well even after regular use for the past 2.5 years.

Nothing sticks to this well seasoned pan!

It is a pleasure to write this review. I bought this as an omelette/crepe pan several months ago and it has seen daily use. The carbon steel seasoned quickly and is now completely non-stick. The welds are solid. The handle is sturdy and keeps cool enough to handle. If you want a cost-effective, everyday pan that will do its job without frills, this one is hard to beat.

This skillet is perfect. Easy to season, it has cooked many a meal for us. Totally non-sticking, good heat transmission for fast cooking, easy clean-up. Pleased.

Still a very small size of pan, these carbon steel pans have been disappointing because they are so thin. Very nonstick once seasoned, although the seasoning process is a real pain.

This is a great pan for quick frying items, it design makes it very easy for flipping food without spilling it, with some practice, remember its not non stick!

I was expecting the pan to be a little bit thicker than is was as it's pretty thin. My pan was bent during shipping and I was able to flex it back into shape by hand. But the pan works just fine and is very responsive due to the thinness of the pan. I prefer the thickness of the lodge carbon steel pans over this particular pan.

Heats up nicely, cleans easily, this pan size is nice for single servings even larger size meats or searing. Handle did not really get hot and ideal for shooting right from burner to oven.

I've long been a fan of cast-iron skillets. They are non-stick if properly seasoned, and they just keep getting more non-stick with the decades, as long as you can keep overly-helpful women attacking them with detergent, or worse-yet, Brillo, away from them. Over the years, arthritis has made it difficult to pop a cast-iron skillet from stove-to into the oven. I was looking for an alternative, not liking stainless or teflon-coated surfaces for cooking. I'd always thought of carbon steel skillets as the thin bent-up stuff at garage sales. I bought anyway, figuring The Restaurant Store hasd never sold me crap, and this cheap enough to discard even if they were to start now. The pan in NOT going to bend anytime soon, it quikly flips from stovetop to oven, and the surface has seasoned becoming more and more like my wonderful cast-iron. I find myself washing and drying a chicken leg quarter, dusting it with Regal Stew Herbs and paprika, and tossing it in a medium oven, for a light hot supper that takes 2 minutes to prep and 1 minute to clean up. Now, I'm thinking I could get more pans, and make multiple Dutch Baby pancakes or omelets at once when company comes. As long as I keep preparing knock-their-socks-off meals, those whipper-sbappers won't be thinking of putting me in a nursing home! Read Less Read More

Arrived in nice condition - fast shipping was a plus. After seasoning, and a touch of butter, this little guy makes beautiful pancakes or a couple servings of hashbrowns. Handle seems solid and stays cool on stove top.

A nice pan for very little money. This has become my go to pan for many different uses, some of which I am certain it was never intended for! Good buy.

This is a super inexpensive pan that works great for saute stations! They are light and can easily stack above station for quick and easy use!!
