We are a diverse team of mechanical engineers, product designers, manufacturing specialists, and—most importantly—passionate home cooks and carbon steel enthusiasts. Our journey began with Gizmatic, our Maryland-based product design and development company. While our typical work involves creating innovative solutions for other businesses, Strata is a brand we’ve proudly built and manage ourselves.

 

Out of countless product possibilities, we chose to design this pan because we believe in making products that truly serve people. The cookware industry is flooded with disposable, convenience-driven products that contribute to overconsumption and waste. We're committed to going beyond profit and creating items built to last a lifetime. This pan not only reflects our values as designers, but also embodies our deep love for cooking.

​

We genuinely believe this pan can spark a shift in cookware and consumer culture—encouraging people to move away from wasteful, often toxic nonstick pans, and embrace durable, natural cookware that stands the test of time.
