Pretty & Light Weight But a Total Heat Diva
on December 7, 2025
Posted by: dapheneg1_6933
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This skillet is a bit of a mixed bag in the most charming way. It’s wonderfully lightweight, surprisingly non-stick, and the wood handle feels so comfortable in the hand — like it was actually designed by someone who cooks.
But here’s the catch: this pan is temperamental. You basically have to treat it like a delicate little diva on the stove. If the heat isn’t set to very low, it will scorch your food in seconds. Even on just medium low heat, my grilled cheese got a little more toasty than I prefer. The flip side to that, though, is the heat distribution was even, so at least it burned evenly. Once you adjust to its overly sensitive personality, it can turn out some great results — but there’s definitely a learning curve.
Perfect if you want something light and stylish… just be ready to cook low and slow.

Hand wash only

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a non stick pan, worked really well while cooking. The package says hand wash, and I still ended up with water rust spots. Make sure you dry all the way before storing it!

Stylish carbon steel pan
on December 30, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design of this pan is definitely stylish. I like that you can have style without losing functionality. That is a great design. It is quite smooth and has great quality. Perfect for seasoned steaks. Maintenance is same as the steel pan.

Nice little pan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This skillet was easy to use with a good nonstick surface. The skillet is a good size for eggs, grilled cheese, etc. it is handwashing only, which is not very convenient.
