Our Classic Carbon Clad® Classic Pan takes traditional carbon steel cookware to the next level with a 3-layered clad design. It delivers superior performance in a lightweight and versatile package by combining the stick-resistant properties of a carbon steel cooking surface, the even heating of aluminum, and the durability of a stainless steel exterior.
Carbon steel becomes more stick-resistant the more you cook. As seasoning builds, so does performance! Carbon steel can take some getting used to if you’re new to it. We provide an easy-start guide as well as a detailed carbon steel manual with everything you need to know. Patience is key, as it takes time and cooking to build up peak stick resistance.
If you already love traditional carbon steel and are looking for something lighter and even heating, the Carbon Clad® Classic pans are for you!

Everything You Love about Carbon Steel…At Half the Weight
Naturally Stick-Resistant
No PTFE, PFOA, or ceramic coatings. Just carbon steel that becomes naturally stick-resistant as seasoning builds, improving with every cook instead of wearing out over time.
Lightweight
Strata’s aluminum core makes it dramatically lighter than traditional carbon steel or cast iron, while helping avoid the hot spots and warping common with thinner pans.
Even Heating
Traditional carbon steel can develop hot spots. Strata’s aluminum core spreads heat quickly and evenly for more consistent browning, searing, and temperature control.
Lasts a Lifetime
Unlike traditional nonstick pans that wear out and need replacing, Strata’s seasoned cooking surface can always be restored and re-seasoned. It’s built for a lifetime of hard use, and gets better with time.
Learning to Season
The KEY to Carbon Steel
Carbon steel builds a naturally stick-resistant cooking surface over time. It takes a little patience at first, but it’s easier than it sounds.
Every pan includes a Quick Start Guide + full care booklet to walk you through seasoning, cooking, cleaning, and everything in between.
