In a world of mass-produced goods, it can be refreshing to see someone working with their hands to create something beautiful and unique. This is especially true when it comes to carbon steel cookware. Forging carbon steel cookware is a lost art that is being revived by modern-day blacksmiths. Not only is the process of creating these pieces of cookware fascinating, but the end result is a piece of kitchenware that is built to last. In this blog post, we will explore the process of forging carbon steel cookware with a modern-day blacksmith. We will also learn about the benefits of using carbon steel cookware and why it is such a popular choice for home cooks and professional chefs alike.
What is carbon steel cookware?
Carbon steel cookware is made from a type of steel that contains carbon. The amount of carbon in the steel affects its properties and determines what it can be used for.
Cookware made from carbon steel is durable and conducts heat well. It is often used for making pots, pans, and skillets. Carbon steel can also be used for other kitchen tools like knives and griddles.
To make carbon steel cookware, the steel is heated to a high temperature and then shaped into the desired form. This process is called forging. Forging carbon steel cookware gives it a stronger structure and makes it less likely to warp or crack under high heat.
If you're looking for a sturdy and reliable option for your kitchen, carbon steel cookware is a great choice.
The benefits of carbon steel cookware
If you're looking for durability, carbon steel is the way to go. This material is known for its toughness, making it ideal for cooking surfaces that see a lot of wear and tear. Carbon steel also has great heat retention properties, so your food will stay hot longer after you've taken it off the stove.
In addition to its cooking benefits, carbon steel is also easy to clean and maintain. With very little effort, you can keep your carbon steel cookware looking like new for years to come.
Is carbon steel cookware non-stick?
When properly maintained, carbon steel cookware does not stick. Carbon steel is known for its ability to develop a natural patina, or layer of seasoning, that is extremely non-stick. When properly seasoned, a carbon steel pan can be used to cook just about anything.
So why would anyone want to use carbon steel cookware? There are a few reasons. First, it is an excellent conductor of heat, meaning that your food will cook evenly and quickly. Second, it is very durable and will last a lifetime with proper care. And finally, it is relatively inexpensive compared to other types of cookware.
If you are interested in trying carbon steel cookware, we recommend purchasing a pan from a reputable source. Look for local artisans making these gorgeous pieces of art. Local suppliers are also usually happy to help answer your questions and give you extra advice.

It was really great having you guys down at our shop. The video came out amazing!

[@chemaha1]

Do you guys have any promos or discounts ?

[@chemaha1]

Or sales on times of the year ?

[@copperstateforge]

@@chemaha1 Hi Allan, thanks for your interest! We are currently working on a full revamp of our social media and KZbin channel. When we do have promos we will definitely post them there. Stay tuned!

Watching this video really reminds me of my grandma’s steel wok, she cooked with it so much that she managed to wear a literal hole in the middle of it with her steel spatula that’s totally deformed from use, the food that comes out of that piece of cookware tastes like heaven. I just had it repaired for her a while ago.

[@stephanievigil5983]

So much craftsmanship is involved. You can tell it has a handmade quality that you can’t get from store brands.

[@becomingareallifesuperhero]

I love the joy in Tristan's voice about the pans. ^_^ I dunno why this is so important to me, but it really is. This is the kind of skill that's been around forever and will always be good to know. Also, Forged in Fire kind of brought me here. : P Anyone else???

[@PetrePann]

^_^

[@hicks1748]

Not sure if you guys take suggestions but a really cool place that I think you guys should take a look at is Lamp Pizzeria in North Scottsdale. Matt is the main pizza cook, he's canadian, went to italy to learn how to cook pizza, and had a custom made brick oven made for his restaurant. Really good and interesting place that serves Neapolitan Pizzas.

[@muhammadawon8164]

One thing should not be ignored that the dude with the hammer has rock hard skills and as for the other dude his skills are hotter than the fire

[@mariamoses5368]

Awesome, so much work into this amazing cookware!

[@limueldeleon9725]

That's all hand forged and I am amazed 😍😍😍

[@darciegodwin7587]

This is awesome! Those pans looks great!

[@devontaylor701]

This so awesome!!!

[@ethanparr]

Excellent work and really fun and interesting video. Can't wait to see more.

[@LandElevated]

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@jeffreywest292]

I love seeing how much goes into one of these pans. It's definitely much more involved than one might think.

[@stevej.6674]

Such a beautiful product. 👏

[@dertythegrower]

Thank you for the protip on the grapeseed oil.

[@racerboy2212]

Fascinating! I think I need some of these!!

[@christerbostroem]

Pretty impressive, I've been looking for cast iron skillets here in Norway for a while. I wonder how these compare.

[@patrickblok3981]

I love everything about this! I need to learn how to make one!

[@Jesuswillbeback]

This pans are only for rich people.... 200$-300$... i am sure they are worth it👍🏼😉 Unique piece of art!

[@lalman1337]

nice beautiful pans good job guys

[@brentrobinson6456]

Great work.

[@togetherwegrow8340]

Hi team. Great video, awesome cookware and welcome to the family!

[@JPeezy789]

This is my favorite channel on KZbin

[@ausieborn]

it's the purpose built nature of the skillet that makes me think theres basically no reason for the average person needs to have a $260 handmade pan when cast iron skillets are 30 bucks everywhere - i guess its the professional kitchen they're targeting

[@joevergnetti767]

Wow! I am so glad this popped up in my list! Very impressive and kudos to the film crew and your crew. What an awesome way to present your product. You have a great personality and told your story well, just in that video.

[@PARAGRAPHIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidapp3730]

Great video. I use a Blanc Creative carbon steel pan and I would be lost in the kitchen without it.

[@jeromemalate2322]

More Amazing Videos Pls.

[@dertythegrower]

Awesome. That's perfect timing because I was just learning how toxic the modern pots and pans are that most people have with the toxic coating that chips off into the food in tiny particles (that same coating giving cows three eyes in lab test)

[@dertythegrower]

The nonstick pans save you time washing dishes, but at a cost to our health. Not only in food but it's now found in deformed fish in rivers.

[@kellydiver]

This was a super video! I’m a beginner blacksmith - if I wanted to try my hand at making a skillet, where would I get a flat round die like the one you used in your shop press? That seems like a better way to go than trying to hammer out the sides while keeping a flat bottom.

[@agusfirmansyah35]

That thing is robust, i love using steelware, especially wok, it's transfer more heat, and gives a nice aroma, and physicly more efficient, but my wife doesn't, because it doesn't look fancy in the kitchen, and sometime it rust, but i ok with the rust, it easy to clean up, and it steel

[@thomassprague441]

Fascinating video! There are a lot of alloys that qualify as "carbon steel." Which alloy did you use?

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

I've been following another maker out in Australia called Solidtekniks. One part of their design I find to be a smart thing is the singular piece construction that eliminates the rivets and joinery where the handle meet the pan. Really like the handmade look of your tho; theirs is slightly generic in shape. Do you make lids for your skillets and pots?

[@genesmith2416]

Love handmade utensils, fantastic work 12 in pipe for the die?

[@decoydante]

I spy an AvE sticker on the wire brush!

[@willstokes7266]

As a welder and fabricator myself having also done a lot of the kinda things and using the skills these guys do just makes this much cooler to watch

Is it possible to bathe a pan in titanium?

[@bryanooi8815]

Ya I love steel. I cook on carbon steel and cast iron while other use non stick pan. I ride chromoly steel bike while other ride carbon bike.

[@Uruguay714]

Can you use these on a glass stovetop?

[@tristan9189]

Yes! They work great on glass top and induction.

[@TheStraycat74]

12ga mild sheet steel? that's all? not even 1055? I guess I've been overthinking all this...

[@DNSforge]

What is the actual steel? Just 1018?

[@chemaha1]

R they hard to clean?

[@kmgl6585]

probably pretty easy to clean if its seasoned properly like cast iron

[@becomingareallifesuperhero]

@@kmgl6585 ^^^this

[@bd93nl45]

Frying eggs, patatoes, unions etc. All you need to do is wipe out the excess oil. When baking meat I put some water in it after cooking, boil the pan clean and rub it quickly with a brush, a drop of oil in after and that's it. I have one Stainless steel pan for all acidic foods that attack the oil layer and for the rest I only use my carbon steel pans. Never going back!

[@chemaha1]

@@bd93nl45 thank you so much I will definitely be buying this product

Blacksmiths have are lucky they just smash a hammer on hot steel for get paid for it🤷‍♂️
