Questions?

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.

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.

No, Carbon Nonstick™ is free of PFAS, PTFE, and PFOA.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Outstanding purchase
I recently purchased the 11' Carbon griddle. While my usage has been fairly limited so far, it has performed beyond my expectations. Ease of use and cleanup are outstanding and all items cooked on the griddle have come out perfectly. The ability to use metal spatulas is most assuredly a plus.
I highly recommend this pan.

Love it
I traded my old non-stick flat griddle for this one, and am thrilled. Solid construction, I feel confident using it as roughly as I could not with the non-stick one. Washes easily. As with all carbon steel, the seasoning has to build before its truly slick, but I'm confident it's coming along

Designed for griddle-style cooking in a classic flat-top shape, the 11" Carbon Nonstick™ Square Griddle gives you an 11" square cooking surface, so you can spread out a full breakfast or make grilled cheese for a crowd without fighting for space. It uses Misen’s Carbon Nonstick™ construction with a carbon-steel surface that’s PFAS-free, plus it’s oven-safe up to 1100°F for easy stovetop-to-oven finishing.

The body is nitrided carbon steel for a coating-free, naturally nonstick surface that’s safe for metal utensils. Compared with traditional carbon steel or cast iron, it’s built to be ultra rust-resistant, lighter, and more forgiving, while still delivering the browning and heat performance you want from a griddle.

Low walls make it easier to get a spatula under eggs, pancakes, or sandwiches, and they also help with airflow for crispier, more evenly browned food. If you already cook with Carbon Nonstick™, this griddle uses the same innovative construction as the Carbon Nonstick™ Frying Pan, just in a shape optimized for a flat cooking surface.

On the stovetop, it’s induction compatible and works best when pre-heated for 1 to 2 minutes. Misen recommends cooking with a small amount of oil (about ½ to 1 Tbsp), then conditioning the pan to keep it performing as nonstick as possible over time. For step-by-step guidance, see Carbon Nonstick Care.

If you’re deciding where this fits in your lineup, the carbon nonstick pans collection shows the rest of the family, while Misen’s broader cookware assortment can help you round out a complete kitchen setup. This griddle also comes with a 60-day test drive, free returns, and a lifetime warranty against defects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carbon Nonstick Square Griddles

What makes this square griddle different from a typical round pan?

The 11" square cooking surface gives you significantly more usable room than a round pan, which is handy for cooking multiple items at once. The low walls also make spatula access easier, and they promote airflow for crispier, more evenly browned results on griddle-style foods.

Is the cooking surface PFAS-free, and is it a coated nonstick?

Yes, the carbon-steel surface is PFAS-free. The pan is made with a nitrided carbon steel body for a coating-free, naturally nonstick surface, so you get nonstick performance without relying on a traditional applied coating. It is also safe to use with metal utensils.

Can I use this griddle in the oven, and how hot can it go?

You can use it in the oven, and it is oven-safe up to 1100°F. That makes it useful for finishing foods after browning on the stovetop or keeping items warm while you cook the rest of the meal.

What care steps does Misen recommend for day-to-day cooking and cleaning?

Misen recommends hand washing only. For best results, pre-heat the pan for 1 to 2 minutes and cook with a small amount of oil (½ to 1 Tbsp). Conditioning the pan helps keep it in top shape and as nonstick as possible. The care guide explains how to use, clean, and condition it.
