Lightweight • Even Heating • Stick-Resistant • NO Coatings

Lightweight & Comfortable

Lightweight & Comfortable

Thanks to its aluminum core, the Strata Pan is lighter than any other carbon steel or cast-iron pan without compromising heat distribution. This feature eliminates the risk of unevenly cooking food often associated with thinner steel pans.

Even Heating

Even Heating

Traditional carbon steel can develop hot spots, especially on larger pans. Strata’s aluminum core spreads heat quickly and evenly across the cooking surface, giving you more consistent browning, searing, and temperature control.

Even Heating

Naturally Stick-Resistant

Naturally Stick-Resistant

Naturally Stick-Resistant

Stick resistance WITHOUT PTFE, PFOA, or CERAMIC. Just like cast iron, the carbon steel cooking surface becomes naturally stick-resistant when seasoned, offering a completely chemical FREE cooking experience. The best part is, the longer you use the pan, the better the performance.

Long Lasting Durability

Long Lasting Durability

The seasoned cooking surface can always be repaired and re-seasoned, unlike traditional “non-stick” pans that get damaged easily and wear out quickly, meaning frequent replacement and unnecessary waste. The Strata pan is designed to withstand the tough kitchen use and actually improve performance over time.

Long Lasting Durability

Warp Resistance

Warp Resistance

Warp Resistance

Uneven heat is the main culprit for a warped pan. Strata’s even heating aluminum core significantly reduces the risk of warping. This makes it the ideal carbon steel pan for induction stoves, which are notorious for warping traditional carbon steel. Be sure to follow the "Care and Use" guidelines to further minimize the risk of warping.

NO  Coatings.  Just Seasoning.

NO PTFE, NO PFOA, NO CERAMIC. Carbon steel achieves its "natural stick-resistant" properties through seasoning.
