Carbon Steel Skillets & Fry Pans

It arrived sooner than I thought, great pan , Thanks! TomJ. Anonymous. Thu Sep 11 2025

For those who like cooking with cast iron but love the versatility of a clad stainless steel pan, the Viking Blue Carbon Steel 10 Inch Fry Pan is the perfect pan. Featuring a 12-inch size for added versatility, this fry pan is made of carbon steel, an alloy that is a combination of iron and carbon. The “blue” in “blue carbon steel” references a heat treatment process to help resist rust and corrosion, a nuisance that can plague traditional cast iron pans. Stay-cool cast iron handles securely attach to the pans with heavy-duty rivets for confidence in construction and a lifetime of use. Though cast iron also excels at maintaining even heating, it can take time to rise to temperature and since iron itself is so brittle, more of the material must be used to make it durable, making traditional cast iron pans larger and heavier. With blue carbon steel, you’ll have a pan that is noticeably lighter without sacrificing performance. And like cast iron, blue carbon steel also heats quickly and evenly, reducing the risk of hot spots from occurring. Blue carbon steel is also prized for achieving high temperatures quickly without fear of damage occurring to the pan itself. Viking blue steel is oven safe to 450°f for restaurant-quality finishing in the oven. Like cast iron, your blue carbon steel pan will need to be seasoned regularly to maintain its nonstick properties. “seasoning” refers to the process of coating the base of the pan with a thin layer of oil that imparts a flavorful taste to your foods while also protecting foods from sticking. There are plenty of methods to seasoning your pan, but if this is your first time seasoning the pan, we recommend using very hot water and dish soap to first scrub the pan, then wipe dry and place it on the burner at low heat to finish drying. Add some oil to the pan and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Then, let the pan cool and wipe it with paper towels and your pan is ready for use! For future maintenance, simply rinse the pan with water after use and scrub gently with a soft-bristled brush or sponge if necessary (no need for soap!). Season with vegetable oil periodically to maintain its smooth cooking surface and nonstick properties. It is not recommended to put these pans into the dishwasher as it will remove the seasoning, reduce the natural nonstick, and make the pan more susceptible to rust. Should you find rust on the pan, like natural cast iron, this can be normal. Just clean the rust off with a scrubby sponge and season the area with vegetable oil.

I love these pans! I bought them during a sale for a little over $100 and I must note they are incredibly well made, I cook over a gas stove and love the length of the secure handles!

Weeknight dinners have never been easier with KitchenAid® nitro-carbon steel, the ultimate kitchen workhorse. This do-it-all cookware offers the exceptional searing and timeless performance of cast iron, but with lightweight, anti-rust convenience, making it the perfect go-to pan to elevate weeknight meals. Made with innovative nitro heat technology to seal the surface of the pan and lock out moisture, this durable skillet is rust-resistant and 22 percent harder than traditional carbon steel as well as completely metal-utensil safe. Similar to cast iron, carbon steel can also be seasoned to develop a nonstick-like cooking surface over time. Heat safe to 750 degrees F and induction suitable, this pan offers culinary perfection from stove to oven to grill.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pan is great and very similar to a cast iron pan. What I love is that it’s made out of Nitro Carbon Steel so this pan does not rust. Cast iron rusts and it freaks me out that you still cook with a pan that rusted. So this is my new favorite. I live in a small space so not a lot of extra storage, so having things that serve multiple purposes are what work best for me . This pan not only cooks on a stove top, but also can be put in the oven and on the grill. You also can season your pan just like you would with a traditional cast iron pan. Since receiving this pan I’ve already gotten rid of a bunch of other type pans and oven stuff, which has freed up space and no longer need. A definite must in your kitchen.. Anonymous.

Very pleased so far. I am pretty good with cast iron use and seasoning. There are similarities and differences. The steel uses even less heat and is up to temp very quickly. It also cools fairly quickly which can be handy. I've not mastered it yet but am using it as much as possible. I seasoned three times and used the pan a bit. I repeated that process and expect to go one more round.. Jim S.. Sun Oct 04 2026
