Cast iron has been the gold standard of long-lasting cookware and stainless steel is known as the kitchen workhorse. But across the pond in France, a hybrid of both has taken hold in kitchens, and direct-to-consumer cookware brand Made In is here to change our western cooking sensibilities. Enter: Carbon Steel. The Made In Carbon Steel skillet is an amazing starting point for carbon steel as it has the traditional skillet shape you know and are used to. It comes in the classic 10” or 12” style. But if you’re feeling adventurous, the newest member of the carbon steel family is the $99 wok. Made for rapid movement and high heat, you’ll impress your friends and family with your stir fry skills in the kitchen with this wok that’s made to perfectly fit on your stovetop. If you’ve been wanting to break out of your reliance on the typical cast iron and stainless steel cookware that’s making you yawn, give the blue-tinted carbon steel Made In skillet a try.
