The 12” Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan + Glass Lid is built for serious searing and everyday cooking that gets more naturally nonstick over time. It arrives pre-seasoned, so you can start cooking right out of the box, and the carbon steel construction is designed for fast heating and excellent browning when you want a crisp crust on proteins or deeply caramelized vegetables.

This pan includes a matching tempered glass lid, which helps lock in steam, moisture, and flavor while letting you keep an eye on what’s happening without lifting the lid. That can be especially useful when you want to transition from searing to covered cooking on the stovetop, or when you want to reduce splatter while simmering.

For heat control and versatility, the pan is induction compatible and oven safe up to 500°F / 260°C. The 2.5mm thickness is designed for strong heat retention without excessive weight, and Misen notes a larger cooking surface than most comparable pans, which can make a difference when you’re cooking in batches or fitting larger portions in one go.

Care is simple but specific: this is hand wash only. After washing, dry immediately and apply a thin layer of oil to help maintain the seasoned surface. If you want a quick refresher on best practices, Misen’s carbon steel pan care guide is a helpful reference for day-to-day cleaning and upkeep.

If you’re comparing within the lineup, browsing the broader carbon steel cookware range can help you decide on sizes and sets, while the wider cookware collection is useful if you’re pairing carbon steel with other materials for different tasks.
