Lovely nitride-coated carbon steel pan that works great both indoors and outdoors. I find myself using this pan at home fairly often. The nitride coating is non-toxic, durable, and provides excellent corrosion protection and somewhat non-stick properties, even without seasoning. With proper care, this pan should last you forever. I like the handle is easily removable for both cleaning and use. Helps to prevent the handle for getting too hot. As a carbon steel pan, I wouldn’t take this backpacking due to its weight and size, but you won’t catch me without this at a car camp site.
I'm trying to reduce plastic in my cooking gear as much as practical, especially where heat is involved, so no more non-stick aluminum! I've been a huge fan of cast iron at home, but that's just too heavy & bulky for car camping, and these are a perfect alternative. These don't require to be seasoned (don't even try! It won't work!); just use oil or butter and a stainless steel spatula, and you'll have easy release of nearly anything. I prefer to remove the handle instead of folding it in, that way I can nest things inside, but I suppose it's nice to have both options. I wish it folded in a way that supported nesting, but that's my only complaint! FYI, I would prefer 2 of these to 1 of these plus 1 of the 8-inch pans.
High quality! It seasoned up nicely after a few uses. It fits perfectly with my jet boil genesis base camp.
