Carbon Steel: Seasoning, Care, and Value

Made In carbon steel arrives pre-seasoned and ready to cook; maintain it with low-medium heat, minimal soap, and a thin oil layer after cleaning. Rust and sticky seasoning are fixable with a scrub, dry, and re-oil — no need to replace the pan. Carbon steel outperforms stainless for high-heat searing and oven work at a similar or lower price, making it one of the best value picks in the Made In range. Care kits and seasoning wax are inexpensive add-ons often included in promotions.

How do I season a Made In carbon steel pan?

Apply a thin layer of high-smoke-point oil and heat until it just smokes, then cool and wipe. Repeat to build the patina — or use the Made In seasoning wax for an easy, reliable layer.

Why is my carbon steel pan rusting?

Moisture left on bare metal. Scrub the rust off, dry thoroughly on the heat, and re-oil. It won't ruin the pan if caught early.

Can Made In carbon steel go in the dishwasher or the oven?

Never the dishwasher — hand-wash and dry. The pans are oven safe to 1,200°F and induction compatible.
