Questions?

What is Carbon Nonstick™ made of?

Carbon Nonstick™ is a carbon steel pan with an aluminum core. It’s 3-ply, meaning it has three layers. The inner layer is the aluminum core, which helps the pan heat and cool more quickly than other carbon steel pans. The top and bottom layers are nitrided carbon steel.

Nitrided carbon steel is essentially carbon steel that has been super-heated in a nitrogen-rich oven, which creates an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and virtually nonstick surface without the need for coatings.

Nitriding is extremely safe and widely used in industries beyond cookware, including aerospace, automotive, surgical, and industrial machinery.
How is Carbon Nonstick™ nonstick without any coatings?

Carbon steel (Carbon Nonstick's™ primary material) relies on something called “seasoning” to achieve its non-stickiness. Unlike ceramic (aka Silicon dioxide) and nonstick (Teflon) which both require a special coating, seasoning is completely natural and builds up more and more over time.

This process of seasoning is called polymerization: when any type of fat is heated in the pan, it chemically bonds with the metal to create a durable surface that prevents rust and improves nonstick properties. The more you cook, the more the seasoning builds up. Over time the pan will become even more nonstick.

Our pan takes things a step further: through a process called "nitriding," Carbon Nonstick™ is fully nonstick right out of the box, and even moreso over time. Nitriding is a process by which a metal surface is super-heated in a nitrogen-rich environment, which creates an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and virtually nonstick surface without the need for coatings.

Nitriding is extremely safe and widely used in industries beyond cookware, including aerospace, automotive, surgical, and industrial machinery.
Does Carbon Nonstick™ contain PFAS, PTFE, or PFOA?

No, Carbon Nonstick™ is free of PFAS, PTFE, and PFOA.
How can Carbon Nonstick™ be nonstick and also last forever?

Traditional nonstick pans (Teflon) and ceramic are both made with coatings that wear off over time, making the pan useless. Carbon Nonstick™ does not contain any chemical coating; instead, it self-seasons over time as you cook with it, creating a lasting, nonstick surface.

This process of self-seasoning is called polymerization: when any type of fat is heated in the pan, it chemically bonds with the metal to create a durable coating that prevents rust and improves nonstick properties.

This process happens naturally as you cook. The more you use the pan, the more layers of seasoning build up, and the more nonstick the pan becomes.

Carbon Nonstick™ takes it a step further: through a process called nitriding, this pan is made even more nonstick out of the box and over time. Nitriding is a process by which a metal surface is super-heated in a nitrogen-rich environment, which creates an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and virtually nonstick surface without the need for coatings.

Nitriding is extremely safe and widely used in industries beyond cookware, including aerospace, automotive, surgical, and industrial machinery.
Is Carbon Nonstick™ as nonstick as traditional nonstick or ceramic nonstick?

TL;DR: At first, no. But soon, yes.

The longer answer: Traditional nonstick (Teflon) and ceramic are both made with chemical coatings that create a nonstick effect on your pans. Carbon Nonstick™ does not contain any chemical coating, therefore it may not be quite as nonstick right out of the box. However, while ceramic and other nonstick pans lose their nonstick coating as you use them, Carbon Nonstick™ will actually become more nonstick with use as cooking oils build up on the pan’s surface (this is called seasoning, and Carbon Nonstick™ seasons itself naturally as you use it). So while your other nonstick pans will be useless in a matter of years, your Carbon Nonstick™ has the potential to last forever.
Can I cook acidic foods in Carbon Nonstick™?

Absolutely, bring on the lemons! Whereas most carbon steel pans will lose their seasoning and rust if they're exposed to acid, Carbon Nonstick™️ can stand up to acid without a problem. (We find it especially useful for finishing our pasta in tomato sauce.)

That said, our factory recommends waiting about 30 days before you go heavy on the acid, so that the pan has a little time to build up its seasoning.
Do I have to season Carbon Nonstick™?

No. Unlike traditional carbon steel cookware, you don’t need to season your Carbon Nonstick™️ pan. By simply cooking with it, you'll be seasoning it; the more you use it, the more seasoned it becomes.

That said, we like to apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the pan’s surface after cooking, and rub it in with a towel. This step speeds up the seasoning process, but it is completely optional.
Is Carbon Nonstick™ pre-seasoned?

Carbon Nonstick™️ is not pre-seasoned. This sets it apart from our Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel, which is pre-baked with neutral oil to jumpstart the seasoning process. Carbon Nonstick™️, on the other hand, does not need to be pre-seasoned because it's been nitrided, which does the same job. Instead, the pan is simply wiped down with a thin layer of neutral corn oil after nitriding. This moisturizes the pan and makes it nice and slippery right out of the box.
How does Carbon Nonstick™ compare to Misen’s previous Carbon Steel pans?

We still love and use our Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel pans. But there are some key differences between that pan and Carbon Nonstick™️.

First, Carbon Nonstick™️ is lighter: only 2.48 pounds, compared to 3.2 pounds. It's an easier pan to hold and use on a daily basis.

Second, Carbon Nonstick™️ doesn’t require seasoning. Our original Carbon Steel needs to be regularly seasoned as you use it, that seasoning can come off depending on what you cook, and sometimes the pan needs to be re-seasoned from scratch. That won’t happen with Carbon Nonstick™️ because it’s nitrided, aka heated in a super-hot, nitrogen-rich oven to make it extra-hard, extra-smooth, and extra-durable.

Third, Carbon Nonstick™️ has an aluminum core, while our Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel pan does not. The aluminum core makes the pan lighter and helps it heat and cool faster. This responsiveness to temperature changes makes your cooking more efficient and precise, whereas our Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel has slightly better heat retention for tasks like heavy-duty searing.

Fourth, Carbon Nonstick™️ is resistant to rust. Our other carbon steel pan isn’t nitrided, so it will rust if you don’t wash and dry it immediately after cooking. Carbon Nonstick™️ can soak in the sink overnight without issues.
What is nitriding?

Nitriding is a process by which a metal surface is super-heated in a nitrogen-rich environment, which creates an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and virtually nonstick surface without the need for coatings like ceramic or Teflon.

Nitriding is completely safe and nontoxic, and is widely used in industries beyond cookware, including aerospace, automotive, surgical, and industrial machinery.
What types of stovetops is Carbon Nonstick™ compatible with?

Carbon Nonstick™ works on all stovetop types - gas, electric, and induction.

    Works well with my new non-stick pan

    I recently purchased a carbon non-stick pan. I love the pan and this glass lid allows me to cover the contents as needed. The lid is a helpful addition in the kitchen. Thanks!

    Love this pan!

    This is the easiest pan to use. I've always struggled with having to properly season pans. I'm not a restaurant chef and I don't cook on the stove every day. When I do, I want the quickest, easiest way to fry without everything sticking. Especially eggs, which tend to stick badly even with oil or any other type of grease. I like to wash my pan and put it away after each use since I am not using it more than one or two days per week. Having the carbon nonstick frying pan has made this process effortless.

    Thank you!

    It has been a year - and I still love this pan!

    I bought this pan a year ago to transition away from classic nonstick, and have used it almost every day since. I love that you can use metal tools, and it requires slightly less maintenance than carbon steel or cast iron. It is lightweight, and it worked beautifully for the first few months with little to no maintenance. As the patina layer built up, I found that I have had to condition the pan more frequently (described on the Misen site) but it still works very well! I think the main keys to success with this pan are to never cook above medium heat, condition if the pan looks dull, and use either butter or a high smoke point oil. For the eggs cooked in this video, I used about 1/4 tbsp butter and had no issues. I still reach for my stainless steel and cast iron for searing meats and high temp things, but this pan works for just about everything else! I would recommend the “deeper” newer version though, which I think is a great improvement.

10" Carbon Nonstick Frying Pan With Glass Lid

If you want a carbon steel alternative that behaves more like nonstick without a coating, the 10" Deeper Carbon Nonstick™ Frying Pan + Glass Lid is built for everyday cooking with fewer compromises. It pairs higher side walls (for splatter-free frying and saucier dishes) with a tempered glass lid that helps lock in steam, moisture, and flavor while you keep an eye on what’s happening in the pan.

All of these Deeper + Glass Lid options share the same core idea: a coating-free, non-toxic pan that gets better every time you cook. The cooking surface is nitrided carbon steel, designed to be naturally nonstick without relying on a traditional nonstick coating, and the aluminum core helps keep the pan lighter than traditional carbon steel or cast iron. Higher side walls add versatility, especially when you want to simmer something saucy or reduce splatter during frying.

Choosing between sizes is mostly about portion size and how much room you like to have in the pan. An 8-inch pan is a smart pick for smaller portions and quick jobs when you want something compact. The 10-inch is a classic everyday middle ground, large enough to feel flexible, but still easy to reach for often. If you regularly cook for a group or prefer extra space for bigger batches, the 12-inch gives you the most cooking area of the single-pan options.

The included tempered glass lid is a practical upgrade if you like controlling moisture and heat without constant peeking. Because it’s clear, you can monitor browning and simmering while keeping steam in the pan. That makes this deeper frying pan feel closer to a weeknight workhorse for covered tasks, while still acting like a straightforward frying pan when you cook uncovered.

If you’re comparing within the broader lineup, browsing the carbon nonstick pans collection can help you see the full range, including sets. For more shapes and styles beyond this line, the frying pans and sautés category is a helpful overview.
