Hosting a dinner party in the next few months? If yes, or if you just consider yourself an enthusiastic cook, then you need to invest in cookware that you can count on. Some of the best brands out there — like Made In, GreenPan, and All-Clad — can rack up a hefty bill, which is why we’re always searching for rare deals to improve your kitchen. Thanks to Amazon, you can now shop for the Made In Cookware Carbon Steel Frying Pan for up to 16% off.

This $85 frying pan, which originally cost $100, is available in three sizes: 8 inches (at the lowest price), 10 inches, and 12 inches. It’s also available in a three-piece set for $279. The 10-inch black pan dropped from $120 to $100, which is a great size for upcoming holiday cooking. The pan can handle heat up to 1200°F and is compatible with induction stoves. You can even place it on an open flame on the hot grill while it’s still warm enough to cook outside.

What Shoppers Should Know

• Material: Carbon Steel
• Compatible: Induction, grill, gas, electric, ceramic, oven-safe
• Capacity: 1.25 quarts or 5 quarts 
• Sizes: 8 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches 

The frying pan was made in Sweden with a carbon steel material that offers even heat distribution and the lightweight feel of stainless steel. We especially love that this cookware find is pre-seasoned with Basso oil, coconut oil, and sunflower oil, so you can begin cooking with it right away. With pans like this, the trick is to preheat it slowly for a few minutes and then pour in a bit of cooking oil (letting it simmer a bit) before adding in the food. 

To maintain its quality, don’t put this pan in the dishwasher or soak it in water for long hours. Hand-wash the pan each time, and if it rusts, you can reseason it as you see fit. You can make virtually any food in these pans — which you can also purchase in a two- or three-piece set  — ranging from chicken to caramelized onions. According to shoppers, the pan “browns meat perfectly” and is their “number one cooking tool” for searing steak, especially T-bone steaks and ribeyes.

What Shoppers Are Saying 

“For me, it’s lighter and easier to clean than a cast iron,” one reviewer wrote. Other customers agreed, adding that the “beautiful” pan is “well-made” and transfers and holds heat better than a nonstick or stainless steel skillet. Aside from proteins, shoppers also say that the pan cooks eggs “perfectly,” as they slide right out of the pan. 

The moral of the story is that once you learn how to cook with this hand-crafted Made In frying pan, your food will come out delicious every time. This under-$100 deal won’t last long at Amazon, though, so take advantage of it while you can.
