Our patented Nitrided Carbon Clad® Frying Pans take 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 with the even heating of aluminum.
Carbon steel becomes more stick-resistant the more you cook. As seasoning builds, so does performance! Please note, Nitriding doesn’t make it “super nonstick” right out of the box, but it does make those first few cooks a little easier.
If you’re looking to switch from traditional “nonstick” cookware and try carbon steel for the first time, the Carbon Clad® Nitrided Series is the perfect place to start.
What is Nitriding?
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. It also gives it its dark appearance. Nitriding is not a coating; it’s a transformation of the steel’s surface by diffusing nitrogen into the steel.
Just like traditional carbon steel, it will still build seasoning over time and become increasingly stick-resistant as you cook. Nitriding doesn’t make it “super nonstick” right out of the box, but it does make those first few cooks a little easier.

What Does “GEN 2” Mean?
The GEN 2 on our Nitrided Series indicates that this product mirrors the updates made to our Classic Carbon Clad® Frying Pans.
GEN 2 introduces a few small refinements to the original Carbon Clad® design. We’ve adjusted the layer thicknesses, size, and shape to improve overall performance. The pans are now 3 mm thick instead of 2.8 mm, adding only a few ounces of weight while delivering higher performance.
It’s still the same lightweight, responsive Carbon Clad® construction, thoughtfully refined using everything we’ve learned from the original design.
