Good questions, straight answers

Everything you’re wondering

What is included?
Three frying pans (8, 9.5 and 11 inches) and one 12-inch wok.
Why choose carbon steel instead of nonstick?
Uncoated carbon steel is built for responsive heat and a strong sear without a synthetic nonstick coating. With proper care, its seasoned cooking surface develops over time.
Can I use it on induction or in the oven?
It works on gas, electric and induction cooktops, but Forest's wooden-handled cookware is not oven safe. Use it on the stovetop only.
Is it pre-seasoned, and how do I care for it?
Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned. Hand wash, dry immediately and wipe on a thin layer of oil. Do not soak or use the dishwasher. Avoid long simmers with acidic foods such as tomato sauce. Maintain seasoning on the stovetop only.
Can I try it at home, and what warranty applies?
Eligible cookware includes a 45-day home trial from delivery, subject to trial terms, plus a 10-year limited warranty. The limited warranty covers manufacturing defects; see the warranty terms for exclusions.
