Merten & Storck has engineered cookware with exacting precision since 1873. The Carbon collection is made of black carbon steel, a versatile, dynamic material that heats ultra-fast, is half the weight of cast iron, and is just as durable. Pre-seasoned to get you started right away, Carbon develops a naturally nonstick patina layer over time that makes it ideal for frying fish, crafting omelets, and getting a perfect sear without a messy cleanup. The lightweight design makes it perfect for camping and outdoor cooking. Carbon performs on all heat surfaces and can stand up to open flame and grill cooking. Hand wash only.
