You know the problem with modern pans: either they are too heavy or not durable enough. If you have been burned by such a pan before, Misen wants to change the narrative. Meet Misen Carbon Nonstick Pan, the easiest, safest, and longest-lasting nonstick pan ever. This carbon nonstick pan, by New York-based kitchen brand Misen, offers the durability of cast iron but without the weight and maintenance, with a naturally nonstick surface that will last you forever. Heck, you can cook with metal spoons in this nonstick pan. Isn’t that amazing? No more chipping enamel or seasoning the cast iron.

This pan is the safest option ever: There is no PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, or coating of any kind. It is naturally non-stick and gets more non-stick over time like a cast iron or carbon steel pan. At 2.4 lbs., the 10-inch Carbon Nonstick weighs less than half of a 10-inch Lodge cast iron skillet, which weighs 5.6 lbs.

This frying pan can tolerate high heat, making it a perfect cookware for sears, roasts, sautés and bakes. Moreover, it doesn’t need a guidebook or constant attention, which let’s face it, comes underlined with almost every pan out there, even the best cast iron. It can take on whatever you throw at it.

While professional chefs love carbon steel and cast iron pots, they require frequent seasoning and are heavy. Misen combined a layer of carbon steel with an aluminum core that makes it heat faster and retain up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit without getting damaged.

Misen carbon nonstick pan is rust-resistant and tough as nails. It is baked in a super-hot, nitrogen-rich oven, undergoing a process called nitriding to create a harder, more wear-resistant layer. This process virtually makes it indestructible.

The ergonomic heat-resistant handle, paired with the light weight of the pan, makes it fun to cook with. You can sauté and flip foods in it with ease, just like the professionals. The pan comes in 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch options.

Currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, you can back a 10-inch Misen carbon nonstick pan for a pledge of $74. Whether you are a home chef or a professional one, this carbon nonstick pan is a game-changer and offers heirloom-level quality.
