Colorado Skillet Co.
This is the simplest version of our No. 10 skillet, and it is wonderful! You can see the hand-spun lines around the body and the tooling marks of the hot-formed handle. You can see the work that went into it, and that's what makes it special.
After washing and riveting, the skillet goes into the fire for a minute to blue it for temporary rust protection. This blueing actually does help seasoning adhere a bit as well. Through testing we found out that this pan works almost as well as our higher end version but at a lower cost to you.
When you get this skillet home, you simply wipe it all down in the oil of your choice (including the handle). We use grapeseed oil. Then, wipe the entire skillet with a dry paper towel or cloth - this leaves a VERY thin coat of oil. Bake it at 450 F for 1 hour and it's ready to use! The skillet will develop an overall darker appearance once seasoned, and only gets more beautiful with time! See our seasoning tips page, or reach out to us if you need more seasoning info. *Since we aren't texturing it, this version of the pan may show some tooling marks and light scratches which is normal and will disappear as the pan seasons.*
You can choose to add a forged bottle opener tab to the handle when you add the skillet to your cart! This fun addition ensures you always have an opener available when cooking at home or camp!
Hand spun and forged in Colorado, USA out of Carbon Steel (99.8% Iron and no toxic chemicals!)
Total handle length - 8.5 inches from pan radius to tip, 14 gauge thickness,
2.5 lbs total weight
We take great pride in the form and function of our cookware designs. Our handles are longer and more ergonomic, helping them heat less quickly and fit wonderfully in the hand.
