CARBON STEEL

Bring on the browning

Sear meat and vegetables with responsive heat and a seasoned surface you maintain over time.

  1. Sear with confidence

    Bring crisp edges and deep browning to meat and vegetables.

  2. Respond to the heat

    Carbon steel reacts as you adjust the temperature while cooking.

  3. Build your own seasoning

    Cooking and caring for the pan develops a patina that helps food release.

Explore materials & care

The patina is built through seasoning and regular use. Dry the pan promptly and apply a light coat of oil after cleaning. Seasoning can change in appearance as you cook.

Questions, answered.

What can I cook in this wok?

Stir-fries, fried rice and quickly cooked vegetables. The 12-inch shape gives you room to move ingredients; use manageable batches so they brown rather than steam.

Why choose carbon steel for stir-frying?

It heats quickly and responds to burner adjustments, giving you control as ingredients cook. Its oil seasoning helps food release when maintained.

How do I keep it performing?

Dry promptly after gentle hand washing, then wipe on a thin layer of oil. Renew seasoning on the stovetop as needed. Avoid soaking, the dishwasher and prolonged cooking with acidic ingredients.

Will it work on my stovetop?

Yes—gas, electric and induction. Forest cookware is for stovetop use only and is not oven safe; season it on the stovetop too.

What trial and warranty come with it?

A 45-day home trial from delivery, plus a limited 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal household use. Normal wear is excluded.

Cook with it during your 45-day home trial. If it is not right for you, return it within the trial period—return shipping is on us.
