Each pan is hand forged from 11 gauge carbon steel, most of the work is done with a hydraulic press and finished with hammer and anvil. Once the pan is finished the handle is forged and riveted to the pan. After wire brushing, I heat them in the oven at 500 degrees for an hour. This turns the pan a nice dark blue and creates a surface oxidation that helps prevent rust. Then while they are still warm they are hand rubbed with a mixture of beeswax and coconut oil. Over time as the pans are seasoned they will continue to develop a warm, dark patina. If you love to cook ,these pans will quickly become one of your most prized possessions! Handle measures approx. 9" pan has a handle about 9" long, pan rises 1 1/14".

This item is hand forged in my workshop located in Sylva, NC.
