Love the pan. More than I would be expected. Zero stick handles heat very well. Will definitely buy more to complete my set. I will never use my Hexclad again.

My new favorite egg/omelet pan. The eggs and omelets skate like they are on black ice. I own 5 other high quality carbon steel pans, but this pan just feels better in the hand to me. Great job guys!

What a gorgeous pan, It's really a piece of art. I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know how to cook with it. The pan will become a life-long friend. Thank you to the talented artisans who made it.

Less than a month of use and the pan no longer sits flush on a surface (see video) making cooking on an electric stovetop quite problematic. I haven’t seen this in other pans and needless to say, quite disappointed

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.

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 🙌

Beautiful craftsmanship and great customer service, prompt shipping during the holiday season! Really happy with the pan :)

Great product, doesn’t stick and easy to clean

I already have the 8.5" skillet and decided to purchase the 11" skillet for a family member getting married. Love the quality.

So far I love this pan the steel thickness is just right. Thick enough to have great heat retention, yet it heats up much faster than my cast iron. It looks amazing I leave it out on my range top just to show it off.

Sauteed asparagus with ease

First couple of uses there was some sticking but that seams to have gone away. Used if for omlettes and burgers and it was great. Little lite scrub, heat to dry and reoil. Great pan so far.

Awesome

Beautiful packaging looked like old times and the pan is beautiful, even better than I imagined. Shipping took a little longer than expected because of postal problems, but the pan was definitely worth the wait.

I just love my pans they are beautiful and built like a tank I know they will last me a lifetime I'm sure I will recommended to anyone who loves to cook

Sonora…. Great pan! Very impressed with it.

I use it every day. Looks so good it stays on the stove top.

I had been a carbon steel user for over a year now. I had proven that the hype about heat distribution, food flavor, and the lack of chemicals coming out of my pans are true. Now, Santa Barbara, in all honesty is at another level between the carbon steel manufacturers. These pans (I owned several) are the real deal. They are the closest to an art piece that you will get in your kitchen. They are not only well made, but they are made paying attention to the details. The handles are something that called my attention since the beginning. Those are NOT machine made, but hand forged, that makes a hell of a difference in terms of their looks. These pans looks so good that you probably could bring them directly to the table. Yes, I would recommend this company to my friends and I had. One more thing… these are going to last for a very long time… so in that sense Im please that at the end Im saving money.

This is by far the coolest-looking pan I own. The craftsmanship and finish really stand out. I cooked fresh eggs in it this past weekend and it performed great right out of the gate. I also liked that it came wrapped in a gunny sack — a nice, rustic touch that fits the style of the pan.

There were a few small scratches on the bottom when it arrived, but after a couple of cooks they disappeared as the pan started to season. Overall, I’m really happy with it and looking forward to using it for years.

Awesome quslity and easy to cook with

These pans are really nice. I’d say the handles were a definitely 5/5 and the pans themselves were great too. I’m only going 4/5 for the fact that the hammering done on the edges was less artistic then I had seen in the pictures. Would definitely recommend buying them.

Produces a perfect sear for steaks! Better than cast iron or stainless.

This is a beautiful pan, it looks good just sitting on the stove. I did a quick seasoning and then made a french omelette that slid right out like if you where skating on ice. Very reasonably priced.

Great pan. Solid quality, and great handle.

Heats evenly. I’ve got the large.

I purchased the smaller pan a few months ago and really liked the heavy feel and really smooth surface. The handle though gets hot while cooking but isn't a game killer for me.
I just got the large Sonora and I think it performs even better and so far the handle is fine.
Like I said with the smaller model I love the really smooth surface. I think that in time it'll patina great even though the blue finish is so pretty but short lived.
It's all good though because in time as it develops an aged seasoned surface I'm hoping that it'll make up for the loss of blueness.
I've had other brands and I think these will turn out the best!

Happy

The pan is beautiful and dense. But, during preheating for sauté on the first use it started to smoke and the blueing came off somewhere (on the food?) and left portions of the pan silver. I know from the descriptions that some discoloration is normal but this was a little disconcerting. Still, I love the pan and have used it a few times with good success.

I was more than little disappointed when I open the box and saw the pan. It didn’t resemble anything I saw in photos, or videos. Those pans I saw looked to have character, and style. The pan I received is nothing more than a machine pressed pan, with a handmade handle. It’s a bland ugly duckling on my stove top. Heck, my Matfer, and de Buyer pans look just as interesting, at half the price. On the plus side it cooks very well, and cleans up easily.
