Armorbear 10″ Auto-Seasoning Nitrided Carbon Steel Pan
$26.99
A nitrided 10-inch carbon steel skillet with a wooden handle and a textured cooking surface designed to build seasoning quickly. The most affordable entry point in this lineup.
Description
Nitriding is a heat treatment that hardens the surface of the steel and makes it far more resistant to rust than untreated carbon steel. In practice that means this pan is more forgiving of the mistakes that ruin a first carbon steel pan: leaving it wet in the sink, storing it in a humid cupboard, or scrubbing off the seasoning by accident.
The micro-textured cooking surface gives the oil something to grip, so the seasoning layer builds faster than on a mirror-smooth pan. It arrives pre-seasoned, though as with any carbon steel you will want to add a few of your own layers before expecting reliable egg release.
The wooden handle stays cool on the stovetop but rules out high-heat oven finishing. If you want to move a pan from burner to broiler, look at the all-metal options in this range instead.
Best for: someone trying carbon steel for the first time who does not want to spend $100 to find out whether they like it.
