Frequently Asked Questions
Carbon Steel is ready to use right out of the box. With every cooking session, oil penetrates its smooth surface, bonding to the metal for better food release. Always cook with oil or butter, and preheat on low-to-medium for results you’ll love.
Yes to both. Carbon Steel works on any stovetop–gas, electric, glass, and induction. It’s also tough enough for grills, pizza ovens, and open flames, since it can handle temps up to 1000°F.
Our ergonomic long stainless steel handles stay cool* on the stove, but they will get hot when used in the oven or over an open flame. Use mitts or grips when transferring.
*Stay-cool applies only to long handles. All other handles are not stay-cool and become hot to the touch during use. Use caution.
Carbon Steel is half the weight of cast iron, making it easier to handle without sacrificing any cooking performance. A perfect sear without the wear on your wrist? Please and thank you.
Yes! Carbon Steel is tough enough to handle metal utensils without scratching.
Absolutely! You can wash carbon steel after each use—simply clean it with warm water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking or using the dishwasher, and be sure to dry it thoroughly. After drying, we recommend you swipe the pan with a light layer of oil before storing, to keep the surface glossy and ready for your next meal.
Yes, and that’s the beauty of it. EverLast Carbon Steel is designed to transform. What you’re seeing means it’s doing its job (brilliantly). With every use, Carbon Steel cookware darkens and develops unique patterns that reflect your culinary journey. It’s a sign of growing strength and deepening flavor that will only get better with each use.

The 12-Inch EverLast N₂ Carbon Steel Frying Pan is praised for its fast and even heat distribution, comfortable handle, and rust-resistant properties. Customers appreciate its ability to cook evenly and quickly, though some noted it is not non-stick. The pan's natural nonstick surface evolves with use, requiring no seasoning and offering easy cleanup.

"This is the second Everlast N2 pan I have bought. The first one, a 10-inch pan is great. However, this 12-inch pan seems to lack the same quality. No real differences in cooking or care, yet this pan's coating has started to come off after less than a month's use. Disappointing to say the least."
"After normal seasoning and use, the pan maintains a nice smooth finish. However, after initial seasoning a persistent whitish small (8-10 mm) surface flaw was easily visible in the middle area. Seems like an inclusion in the base metal, also catching on the fingernail. Not sure if that is a warrantee defect. Other than that, pan performs as advertised."
"After fairly extensive research, I decided to get the Anolon nitrided steel pan as an alternative option to my All-Clad D5 stainless steel set. Have been disappointed since the first use. The pan warps and rocks at medium-low heat creating hot spots! Most everything I’ve cooked sticks. I have an easier time cooking with stianless."
"Great pan, just a little to have for my wife to use, but I would buy it again as I do most of the cooking"
"i love the quality of the construction, the pan's weight, and its ability to hold temperature. However, despite seasoning the pan 5 times, i still have difficulty with sticking, particularly delicate fish and scrambled eggs."
"Everything sticks! Spent more time cleaning the pan than actually cooking with it ."
"This pan heats up fast, and distributes the heat evenly. Clean up is fast and easy also. A great upgrade to my cooking."
"Nice and heavy. Easy to cook with."
"Despite my the hype and high hopes as far as i can tell the "nitrided" factor in this pan does nothing. It seems this pan still requires seasoning, avoiding water and acid, and all of the other factors one would expect from any carbon steel pan. I had hoped for more but after the first couple uses required some SERIOUS scrubbing to remove stuck food i'm feeling regret, Being a regular carbon steel pan is fine, but it feels like the advertising is very misleading and at this point i wish i'd just bought a lodge carbon steel pan for $40 instead of the $120 on this"
"Doesn't heat evenly on an induction cook top. Requires a lot more seasoning to make it useful."
