Carbon steel is the original chef’s pan — the link between cast iron’s heat retention and stainless steel’s finesse. It heats fast, sears beautifully, and develops a natural non-stick surface the more you cook.

Ours are shaped, forged and seasoned right here in Santa Barbara. Like a good leather jacket, they only get better with age and use.

Read more on The Blacksmith's Journal → Why Professional Chefs Choose Carbon Steel

Treat your carbon steel pan like a cast iron’s cooler cousin — keep it dry, keep it oiled, and it’ll reward you for life. After cooking, wipe it clean, heat it briefly to dry, then rub on a thin layer of oil to protect the surface.

The secret is consistency over complexity. Regular light care beats any deep-clean ritual. Every use adds to your seasoning, building that dark patina that makes the pan naturally non-stick and uniquely yours.

Need to re-season? It’s easier than you think.

SEASONING & CARE

Like a good leather jacket, it only gets better with age.

As your pan gains its season it will change gracefully and become even more non-stick.

Use it. I have roasted a whole young chicken, a Beef Round Roast and a whole duck. Eggs, bacon, pork belly round out the uses, so far. Tomorrow a Cornish Hen. All four pans are near there next ‘look’. I used SBF pan seasoning to the letter if the law and all appears good to go!

after buying 4 pans i was very happy with - I'm very disappointed with this one - This pan has no hand forging whatsoever and appear to have been rushed thru build to get shipped - there are cosmetic faux markings to make it look like hand forging. This was totally unexpected from SBForge

A beautiful thing to behold

Outstanding performance

Fantastic pan and a great company to do business

Wow…What a beautiful piece of work.

Wow….What a beautiful piece of work. Heats evenly and is very heavy duty. I would highly recommend. Very useful in my wood fired oven with the two handles.

Amazing

It’s a piece of art to be used and enjoyed for years to come! Top shelf quality ❤️

These are the best pans I've ever bought. Thank you !!

Outstanding!

Beautiful Roaster! Heirloom piece… my daughters are already fighting over it!!😊

This is a wonderful roaster, truly a beautiful heirloom quality pan. It was well recieved.

Awesome

These are the best pans we’ve ever used. I’ve owned the same cast iron pans for over 25 years. Where have these been all my life? Buy them right now! You won’t regret it.

Hi I do like the rustic style look and feel of the nice and heavy iron roasting pan , however I was actually going to use this for frying i dian vada etc so I would have liked the pan to be more deeper atleast another 1 1/2 inches deeper so oil doesnt drip out

A Piece of Art

An outstanding pan that functions as it should. But man is it beautiful, it art!

Awesome pan!

Beautiful craftsmanship

I loved the look and function of my new hand forged pans! Definitely heirloom pieces I will pass to my daughter!

STUNNING PAN

I got the sonora roaster pan and it's absolutely stunning. It's replaced nearly all my pans and i make excuses to cook on it. The modern heirloom thing was spot on.

Wow!

Beautiful, strong, functional.

Sonora Roaster

This is our 2nd SB pan. Highly recommend.

Second order received

1st order was the Large frying pan. I like that so much the 2nd order was a small frying pan, another large frying pan, and the Roaster. Well worth the money. They provide care instructions to keep these pans in good condition. Just follow them for years of use. Will likely order again.

Love my Roaster

This is my third Santa Barbara pan. I have the small and large Sonora pans and love them. They look great and are soooo nice to use. I got the roaster for smaller meals for my wife and I, but it is large enough for for a dinner for four, depending on what you prepare. Most meals I make are good enough for dinner for my wife and I, with leftovers for two days. I also use it as a large pan since it is deeper and wider for those big veggie sauté dishes. The factory seasoning is OK, but after a good seasoning by myself, they are virtually nonstick. I love my pans.

Five stars! Excellent quality and service!

Return Customer

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.

Roaster

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.

Best pan I've ever used!!!

Love this. These pans will last someone a lifetime then, pass them down to your children. Absolute functional works of art!!!

Sonora Roaster

I love my Sonora Roaster so much I gifted one to my nephew for a wedding gift!

beautiful product

love my new roaster

Gorgeous

I knew the pans would be beautiful but I wasn’t prepared for how gorgeous they are. So perfectly made, just a touch of oil and a hot pan gives you a nonstick surface better than any nonstick pan I’ve ever bought. A breeze to clean. The best part, these pan will last a lifetime and then some. Worth every penny.

Sonora Roaster

Used it for the first time tonight and the food was scorched under a medium flame which required extensive cleaning only to have it rust while it was drying. I spent way too much money on these pans for them to have rust spots after one use

Hi Lenny,

Thanks so much for leaving a review on our Shopify page! It sounds like the initial seasoning on your pan might have been scrubbed off after some food got scorched — something that happens to the best of us!

When the oil seasoning is scrubbed away and the pan is left to air dry without re-seasoning, it can lead to rust (as is the case with all carbon steel pans). But don’t worry, this is an easy fix!

All you need to do is scrub off any rust, then re-season the pan following the regular seasoning process. We’ve got a helpful video that walks you through the process on our shopify page. It won't let me post a link here, but just search for SB Forge Shopify online and you'll find it. Scroll down to the "care" section.

With a little seasoning after each use, your pan will only get better with time. We hope this helps, and we’re here if you have any more questions!

Love it.

Great product!!!!
