I’ve had the small pan for just a few days now and I’ve cooked with it a couple times plus the seasoning it in the oven 2-3 times. Is this what my pan should look like at this point?

This pan alone could have made me love cooking. The customer service and customization was outstanding. Pairs well with the 60 year old hot pad made by my Great-Grandma. I now have two heirlooms.

It’s very beautiful piece of art, very strong and high quality, first tried, no sticky on the skillet. Iam very pleased with the purchase, will buy more pans in the future.

Wow ! What a pan ! Exudes quality and craftsmanship. The weight and feel just tells you how well this has been forged !
Love cooking 🍳 with it. Easy to clean and keep in perfect condition ! Highly recommended !

This Sonora Small Pan is a beautiful skillet that now pretty much lives on my stovetop. I'm enjoying cooking with the pan...tonight I did a wonderful sear on a nice piece of salmon.

Love everything about this pan after a few weeks. Christened it with a potato roesti cake! Now the only problem is deciding which one to get next.

This is way, way better than any intern

Received my Sonora XL Pan from Santa Barbara Forge! Spent a couple days adding to the ‘seasoning’ that they had already started. I wanted to be sure this baby was ready to rock! I’ve been working to perfect my Dungeness Crabcake recipe and process, and this pan was the key to having the right cooking surface as well as plenty of room to cook six of these bad boys at a time. The result was freaking incredible! They sizzled, flipped well, cooked to a golden brown, and the pan just wiped-down easily after the cooking was done. It is so artful, superbly crafted, and simply badass…I find myself constantly thinking of new things to cook, using this incredible Santa Barbara Forge pan. Well done, folks! Well done.

Use it. I have roasted a whole young chicken, a Beef Round Roast and a whole duck. Eggs, bacon, pork belly round out the uses, so far. Tomorrow a Cornish Hen. All four pans are near there next ‘look’. I used SBF pan seasoning to the letter if the law and all appears good to go!

Hi, I took a chance on a carbon steel pan, from a company I saw online, Santa Barbara Forge. They said it was naturally non stick, which was what I needed. It’s made in the USA, in Santa Barbara which I liked. I received my pan very quickly, it looked great. After a week, it’s turned a beautiful color, and is great as a morning breakfast pan. Very happy , highly recommended, Jay, Yonkers, NY

After receiving our pan, we seasoned it as directed in the oven. The pan seems to cook everything perfectly nice and even heat distribution. I thought it was gonna take a little bit longer to season but nothing seems to be sticking not even eggs. Would definitely recommend these pans to anyone looking to purchase one.

Love the large pan I've had and wanted the smaller one. Got it for wife For Xmas . The 2 pics are before and after seasoning the pan.

Can't say enough about the quality, beauty and robustness of your cookware. It's a joy to cook with these. It makes cooking a pleasure .

I love these pans! My wife can actually cook eggs without sticking now. Although they do come in seasoned, I seasoned them 3 more times for added measure .
Honestly the best cookware period. Beautiful and robust. Bravo 🙌

Love the build! I use this pan over a gas range & live fire on my Santa Maria grill. A dream to cook on!
