My Carbon Steel pan warpedUpdated a year ago

Carbon steel can warp if heated or cooled too quickly which happens most frequently on glass stovetops and induction ranges or by running a hot pan under the faucet. This is a result of the exceptional conductivity of carbon steel as a metal.

Tips to introduce heat to your carbon steel pan:

  • Heat your pan with low-medium heat
  • Introduce a fat, oil or protein and then add heat gradually
  • Never leave your pan exposed to heat for extended periods of time and never when empty
  • Use a burner that is sized appropriately to the pan and will heat the surface evenly

If you have experienced warping in your carbon steel, please contact our customer support team with a photo or video of the damage and we're happy to assist you.
