Barebones Blue Carbon Steel Skillet

I was uphappy when my husband surprised me with this pan. Money spent on something I already had. I had everything (literally) that I needed. From cast iron to anodozided aluminum. He loves Barebones! I read the instructions and decided to prove I didn't need this pan. I did heat it up to remove any leftover processing residue. I heated up the pan to medium and threw some butter on the pan. One egg was all it took for me to be a follower. It hardly stuck and with a little encouragement the egg was sliding around the pan. I didn't add more butter. I was able to make an overeasy egg without breaking the yolk first try. I have decided to reduce my cast iron frying pans and use this instead. I am waiting for the smaller pan to come back in stock. I am 70 and the weight is a bit hard with cast iron. This is so very light that I can turn the pan over with one hand. How often do you need to drain a frying pan and need two hands to hold and one to prevent the food from falling out? I can do it. The cleanup is easy, no soap needed. Just rinse well with hot water and wipe clean. No soap used. No re-seasoning needed. Thank you Barebones.

This pan is so versatile, i use it every single night to cook dinner. It heats up quickly, retains heat well, and it super light so it's easy to maneuver around. It's also extremely easy to clean, and it has a removable handle which is super convenient. Cannot recommend this enough!

Purchased both Skillet and Wok and after two months of use they've been my go-to pans for nearly everything. Quality materials, attention to detail, beautiful design, AND removable handles! I didn't realize how much I'd appreciate this until I went to season them. Not only did I get a beautiful handle, I could still season with ease in the oven with the handle removed. The Wok came with a long handle and I've found it helpful to swap handles depending on how I want to use it. . . although I'm not sure if they were designed to be swapped. In short, great pan, great price, and the brand seems to back up their products.

My boyfriend bought me this pan for Christmas. It’s beautiful with the blue and the handle. After three uses this is what it looks like. The first time I used it a little bit of the blue flaked off the second time, even more with burn marks using medium heat. It is still functional, but don’t expect it to look intact.

My boyfriend give me this beautiful skillet for Christmas. I was so sad when after the first use the blue flaked off some. The second time I used it it came off more. I have seasoned it after each use, used the lowest heat possible to cook with and after 3 uses only this is what it looks like. It still works but don’t expect it to be low maintenance or maintain its color after barely any use.

Amazing little pan to have for everyday use in the kitchen or while camping. Great for saut?©ing veggies or making a sauce. Constantly find ourselves reaching for our blue pan!

I was in the market for a good carbon steel pan, because they're recommended for omlettes, and I'd like to get rid of my teflon. I selected this one because the materials looked quality and I liked the wooden handle. I particularly noticed that the handle is riveted on, rather than spot welded on, which means it won't fall off if the pan overheats. I seasoned the pans, and tried one out, and I wasn't disappointed. Eggs cook up really nicely and the seasoned surface is truly nonstick! My husband is excited to try these out on the grill next summer as well. These would also be great pans if you just need one for backpacking.

They look nice and the 9" is great — no complaints. The 12" however, my first order had a loose handle. Was sent a replacement no problem. The second one had a warped bottom so it wouldn't sit flush on a flat surface and the third one I was sent was also warped and had a loose handle ring, so I gave up and will probably just use it for camp fire cooking only. My advice is only buy the 9".

Pan warped 5 minutes into cooking. Not worth the price tag

There is a layer of something blue not mentioned in the product’s description. A PFA layer perhaps. Heated with citrus took it right off to reveal the steel underneath. And guess what? It ain’t stainless either! So, with a little honesty, it would have changed my season approach. Now, I have to start all over. So, not as advertised. All other products on this site I’ve bought are excellent.
