Sonora small pan is a work of art!!

I have read consumer reports to good housekeeping testing to reading reviews on cookware safety. I enjoy cast iron big pans for oven cooking and I was looking for stovetop. My BIL had texted me about carbon steel pans. I looked and found Santa Barbara. In the US is very important to me to buy in the US products. It came in a nicely packed box and burlap sack. The handle is beautifully made. It feels amazing to cook food in it. It cleans really well. I follow their instructions on cleaning it and oiling it. It’s a beautiful piece of art that can make delicious and safe food to nourish our bodies. Keep up the hard work! It shows in your products. I am saving up to extend my collection .

Sonora Small Pan

I was amazed how well-made this carbon steel frying pan. Thicker in mm, heavy and I can say that I trust the craftmen who worked their craft to an art. Thicker pan such as this will save cooking time as the residual heat will complete my cooking process. I have an Italian-made carbon steel frying pan but the SB beat it for its thickness and artfull workmanship. The only thing that stands out in the Italian pan is its carbon steel handle is welded to the body therefore it doesnt collect after cooking grease and crumbs. A clean pan with no rivets. I just do not understand that you need a bigger capital to make this worked. Ridiculous reply!
