I have both the large pan and small pan, and they both sit on my stovetop all the time because of how beautiful the craftsmanship is. These are truly pieces that you will pass on down through the generations.
I love my small carbon steel pan. Perfect for frying veggies and then making omelets. Follow the directions for gradual seasoning over time and a non-stick, non-toxic pan is your future friend!
My cousin gave me this pan 8 years ago as a gift. It's my favorite pan and it's so beautiful that it sits on my stove top. I have now given it as a wedding gift to a couple that I love and hope they enjoy it as much as I do.
