Wow-Blown Away!

Beautiful pan by looks and quality. Bit of a learning curve, love it way better than my ruff surface cast iron, this pan has a smooth finish like glass. First time I tried a fried egg it came out perfect, not over cooked, with a slightly runny yoke. Still haven’t been successful with a “true French omelet” but once I figure it out I think it will be much easier in this pan. A true French omelet is two folds at just the right time as the eggs are barely setting. Excited to try a steak in it soon and see the crust it makes. Highly recommend this product.

A work of art for any cook

The pan was a gift and my favorite cook loved it. The craftsmanship has created not only a functional pan but cookware that can be shared in the future. The handle is detailed and sturdy. Such a special product for a special gift.

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 .
