Questions?

What is Carbon Nonstick™ made of?

Carbon Nonstick™ is a carbon steel pan with an aluminum core. It’s 3-ply, meaning it has three layers. The inner layer is the aluminum core, which helps the pan heat and cool more quickly than other carbon steel pans. The top and bottom layers are nitrided carbon steel.

Nitrided carbon steel is essentially carbon steel that has been super-heated in a nitrogen-rich oven, which creates an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and virtually nonstick surface without the need for coatings.

Nitriding is extremely safe and widely used in industries beyond cookware, including aerospace, automotive, surgical, and industrial machinery.
How is Carbon Nonstick™ nonstick without any coatings?

Carbon steel (Carbon Nonstick's™ primary material) relies on something called “seasoning” to achieve its non-stickiness. Unlike ceramic (aka Silicon dioxide) and nonstick (Teflon) which both require a special coating, seasoning is completely natural and builds up more and more over time.

This process of seasoning is called polymerization: when any type of fat is heated in the pan, it chemically bonds with the metal to create a durable surface that prevents rust and improves nonstick properties. The more you cook, the more the seasoning builds up. Over time the pan will become even more nonstick.

Our pan takes things a step further: through a process called "nitriding," Carbon Nonstick™ is fully nonstick right out of the box, and even moreso over time. Nitriding is a process by which a metal surface is super-heated in a nitrogen-rich environment, which creates an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and virtually nonstick surface without the need for coatings.

Nitriding is extremely safe and widely used in industries beyond cookware, including aerospace, automotive, surgical, and industrial machinery.
Does Carbon Nonstick™ contain PFAS, PTFE, or PFOA?

No, Carbon Nonstick™ is free of PFAS, PTFE, and PFOA.
How can Carbon Nonstick™ be nonstick and also last forever?

Traditional nonstick pans (Teflon) and ceramic are both made with coatings that wear off over time, making the pan useless. Carbon Nonstick™ does not contain any chemical coating; instead, it self-seasons over time as you cook with it, creating a lasting, nonstick surface.

This process of self-seasoning is called polymerization: when any type of fat is heated in the pan, it chemically bonds with the metal to create a durable coating that prevents rust and improves nonstick properties.

This process happens naturally as you cook. The more you use the pan, the more layers of seasoning build up, and the more nonstick the pan becomes.

Carbon Nonstick™ takes it a step further: through a process called nitriding, this pan is made even more nonstick out of the box and over time. Nitriding is a process by which a metal surface is super-heated in a nitrogen-rich environment, which creates an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and virtually nonstick surface without the need for coatings.

Nitriding is extremely safe and widely used in industries beyond cookware, including aerospace, automotive, surgical, and industrial machinery.
Is Carbon Nonstick™ as nonstick as traditional nonstick or ceramic nonstick?

TL;DR: At first, no. But soon, yes.

The longer answer: Traditional nonstick (Teflon) and ceramic are both made with chemical coatings that create a nonstick effect on your pans. Carbon Nonstick™ does not contain any chemical coating, therefore it may not be quite as nonstick right out of the box. However, while ceramic and other nonstick pans lose their nonstick coating as you use them, Carbon Nonstick™ will actually become more nonstick with use as cooking oils build up on the pan’s surface (this is called seasoning, and Carbon Nonstick™ seasons itself naturally as you use it). So while your other nonstick pans will be useless in a matter of years, your Carbon Nonstick™ has the potential to last forever.
Can I cook acidic foods in Carbon Nonstick™?

Absolutely, bring on the lemons! Whereas most carbon steel pans will lose their seasoning and rust if they're exposed to acid, Carbon Nonstick™️ can stand up to acid without a problem. (We find it especially useful for finishing our pasta in tomato sauce.)

That said, our factory recommends waiting about 30 days before you go heavy on the acid, so that the pan has a little time to build up its seasoning.
Do I have to season Carbon Nonstick™?

No. Unlike traditional carbon steel cookware, you don’t need to season your Carbon Nonstick™️ pan. By simply cooking with it, you'll be seasoning it; the more you use it, the more seasoned it becomes.

That said, we like to apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the pan’s surface after cooking, and rub it in with a towel. This step speeds up the seasoning process, but it is completely optional.
Is Carbon Nonstick™ pre-seasoned?

Carbon Nonstick™️ is not pre-seasoned. This sets it apart from our Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel, which is pre-baked with neutral oil to jumpstart the seasoning process. Carbon Nonstick™️, on the other hand, does not need to be pre-seasoned because it's been nitrided, which does the same job. Instead, the pan is simply wiped down with a thin layer of neutral corn oil after nitriding. This moisturizes the pan and makes it nice and slippery right out of the box.
How does Carbon Nonstick™ compare to Misen’s previous Carbon Steel pans?

We still love and use our Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel pans. But there are some key differences between that pan and Carbon Nonstick™️.

First, Carbon Nonstick™️ is lighter: only 2.48 pounds, compared to 3.2 pounds. It's an easier pan to hold and use on a daily basis.

Second, Carbon Nonstick™️ doesn’t require seasoning. Our original Carbon Steel needs to be regularly seasoned as you use it, that seasoning can come off depending on what you cook, and sometimes the pan needs to be re-seasoned from scratch. That won’t happen with Carbon Nonstick™️ because it’s nitrided, aka heated in a super-hot, nitrogen-rich oven to make it extra-hard, extra-smooth, and extra-durable.

Third, Carbon Nonstick™️ has an aluminum core, while our Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel pan does not. The aluminum core makes the pan lighter and helps it heat and cool faster. This responsiveness to temperature changes makes your cooking more efficient and precise, whereas our Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel has slightly better heat retention for tasks like heavy-duty searing.

Fourth, Carbon Nonstick™️ is resistant to rust. Our other carbon steel pan isn’t nitrided, so it will rust if you don’t wash and dry it immediately after cooking. Carbon Nonstick™️ can soak in the sink overnight without issues.
What is nitriding?

Nitriding is a process by which a metal surface is super-heated in a nitrogen-rich environment, which creates an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and virtually nonstick surface without the need for coatings like ceramic or Teflon.

Nitriding is completely safe and nontoxic, and is widely used in industries beyond cookware, including aerospace, automotive, surgical, and industrial machinery.
What types of stovetops is Carbon Nonstick™ compatible with?

Carbon Nonstick™ works on all stovetop types - gas, electric, and induction.

    Amazing pan

    Wanted a "nonstick" without the nonstick for eggs, etc. This pan fills all the needs of a nonstick pan and being free off all the bad stuff. Bought a few pans for my children with their promise to throw away their nonstick, they love them!

    nice sized pan

    So far this pan has lived up to my expectations. I have been having problems with eggs sticking to the bottom. It has cleaned very well. I am hoping that the more I use it, the sticking problem will get resolved.

Deeper Carbon Nonstick Frying Pans, Explained

The 10" + 12" Deeper Carbon Nonstick™ Frying Pan set is built for cooks who want a naturally nonstick feel without a coating. Misen’s nitrided carbon steel surface is coating-free and non-toxic, and the higher side walls give you extra room for saucier cooking and tossing food in the pan. If you are comparing materials and formats, you can also browse the wider cookware lineup and the full carbon nonstick range.

Why “deeper” matters: taller sidewalls help when you are reducing sauces, sautéing a bigger batch of vegetables, or tossing pasta right in the pan, all use cases called out for this set. You get the everyday versatility of a frying pan, plus a little more containment so food stays where it belongs when you stir, flip, and toss.

These pans are designed to be easier to live with than typical carbon steel. The product page notes ultra rust-resistant construction and that they are ready to cook on day one with no lengthy seasoning process, while still improving over time as you cook. The aluminum core also keeps weight down compared with traditional carbon steel or cast iron, which can make the 10-inch and 12-inch sizes more comfortable for daily use.

For heat sources and durability, this set is induction compatible, safe to use with metal utensils, and oven safe up to 1100°F. That combination is useful when you want to start on the stovetop and finish in the oven, or when you prefer a pan you do not have to baby during normal cooking.

Care is straightforward but specific: these are hand wash only. For the best long-term performance, follow Misen’s guidance on cleaning and upkeep in Carbon Nonstick Care, especially if you are new to nitrided carbon steel. The page also highlights a 60-day test drive, free returns, and a lifetime warranty against defects, which can help if you are deciding on a long-term pan set.
