Five stars! Excellent quality and service!

my favorite pan to use at home and a fantastic gift! Beautiful and perfect in every way.

Great, nonstick, heavy, and robust pan.
Great value too.

I got the Sonora XL Pan and I’m really happy with it. It’s on the heavy side, so the helper handle makes a big difference. The surface is super smooth, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting the handle to be this comfortable—it’s the best I’ve tried on any pan. The XL size is perfect, but now I’m thinking I might need a smaller one too. I checked out some similar pans that cost more, and I’m glad I went with this one. I’d definitely buy from Santa Barbara Forge again.

I cannot say enough great things about the pan. My husband said to me “finally a pan that works and will last”. Non-stick!!! I have had many many carbon steel pans and they claim to be non stick but they are not. The pan is truly an heirloom item that can be passed down. I love this brand so much. I’ll be getting my second one soon.

Beautiful pan. Will be a great tool and likely outlast me.

I’ve bought these skillets for myself and for others, as gifts. I love these carbon steel heirloom quality skillets - and those I’ve gifted with these love them as much as I do. Santa Barbara Forge is a great company to do business with. Recommended highly.

Nonstick on day one. Learn how to heat your pan correctly and you should not have any problems ever.

What a pleasure to cook with this pan. Perfect size for 90% of our needs.

Robust, life time piece which only gets better with each use. I feel like I could use it on any cook surface including open flame.And let's not forget it's character. I look to use it everyday.

This thing is so handy I don't even bother putting it away anymore, it's a statement piece in my kitchen. My induction cooktop loves it.

The Sonota large pan has been a great addition to our kitchen. It's beautiful craftsmanship cooks great and looks amazing hanging from the rack.

I love the size of this pan as an omelette pan. It is the perfect size. Out of the package it is already well seasoned, but with a couple more sessions, it is even more nonstick. I love the look and feel and of the pan and the fact that it is handmade. It would be nice if it was slightly deeper, but that is only a small knock. Much nicer in my opinion than the competition that I have experience with.

I just made my first batch of two scrambled eggs with a variety of chile peppers fried in butter with zero problems. The preseason seemed to leave a brown film when wiping (probably normal) so washed this off with hot water and a soft rag, fresh butter in the pan, worked like a dream. Will be fun for a little pork chop or a dainty egg eater but realized I need a bigger pan too. Cool little pan. Love it.
