STRATA 11" Carbon Steel Clad Nitrided Frying Pan

STRATA Nitrided Carbon Clad Frying Pans are constructed with nitrided carbon steel outer layers and an aluminum core. This unique combination gives you the seasonable cooking surface of carbon steel, with better heat distribution, at a fraction of the weight. Nitrided carbon steel is heat-treated with nitrogen to harden the surface, making it more durable, rust resistant, and a little less sticky in the beginning compared to plain carbon steel. Nitriding is not a coating, it's actually a transformation of the steel's surface by diffusing nitrogen into the steel. It functions just like normal carbon steel, gradually building seasoning and becoming more stick-resistant over time. The nitriding simply makes it a little easier to use in the beginning.

• Patented Nitrided Carbon Clad Construction: Strata-engineered 3-ply cookware pairs a nitrided carbon steel cooking surface with an aluminum core for fast, even, responsive heating.
• Lightest Carbon Steel Pan: Half the weight of traditional carbon steel, without sacrificing strength or durability.
• 100% Coating Free: No PTFE, PFOA, silicone, or other chemical coatings. ZERO funny business—just vegetable oil.
• Pre-Seasoned: No seasoning required; our nitrided pans come lightly pre-seasoned and ready-to-go out of the box. Seasoning and stick-resistance build over time as you cook.
• Deep Nitriding: Nitrogen is diffused deep into the steel itself. Not a coating, so nothing to chip, flake, or peel. Our extended cycle builds a thicker, harder nitrided layer than standard pans for long-lasting rust and scratch resistance.
• Even Heating Performance: Aluminum core distributes heat evenly and fast, eliminating hot spots and ensuring consistent cooking results.
• Lightweight, Comfortable, and Easy to Control: Delivers responsive performance without the weight of thick cookware. The cast stainless steel handle minimizes heat transfer and provides a comfortable, controlled grip.
• Built for a Lifetime of Cooking: Metal-utensil safe and endlessly re-seasonable. Hand wash, dry thoroughly, and lightly oil the interior. Oven safe to 600°F. Avoid high heat when empty and rapid temperature changes.
