Skillet Finish: At Copper State Forge, we’ve developed a uniquely fine texture that’s noticeably smoother and far less “pebbly” than traditional shot-blasted surfaces. When paired with our careful pre-seasoning process, it creates a beautiful, even frosted appearance that looks as good as it performs. The result is a pan that’s more non-stick right from the start, holds its seasoning better over time, and is significantly easier to maintain—perfect for everyday cooking and a lifetime of reliable service in your kitchen.

Add a Flat French style carbon steel lid to your order! Our carbon steel lids are cut to match the shape of your skillet with a small overhang to account for hand forged variability. We forge a smaller version of our skillet handle that matches the style of the skillet, and attach it with two steel rivets. It is perfect for creating a convection within your skillet. ***Lids are made to order and can add up to 5 days to regular processing time. 

Works on: induction, glass and coil electric, gas, open fire, in the oven, on the grill, in the smoker, and in the wood burning oven.
