This page is the evidence: every claim, endorsement and objection on record about the Made In carbon steel pan, with no argument attached. Where the evidence adds up to a finding, it is written up separately, checked line by line against the claims below.
What does the evidence about the Made In carbon steel pan add up to?
Counts, names and a criterion. No view about whether to buy it — that is yours, and the citations below are what it rests on.
- What people agree on
- Cited in the Made In carbon steel pan’s favour: non-stick surface (3), seasoning durability (2), appearance (1), build quality (1) and ease of cleaning (1). The number beside each is how many distinct people cited it, not how many times it was said.
- What they object to
- Cited against the Made In carbon steel pan: even heating (2), warp resistance (2), acid resistance (1), handle (1) and heat retention (1).
- Who is on record
- cookware reviewers (2) — an occupation; home cooks (1) — who the advice is aimed at; Gear Review YouTube (1) — a community we read.
- Who it suits
- The reason cited most in its favour is non-stick surface, which matters if you cook eggs and fish, which is where every non-stick argument is actually settled. The commonest objection is even heating, which matters if you bake, make pancakes, or cook anything wider than the burner it sits on. Both are properties of the criterion rather than verdicts on the Made In carbon steel pan; which of them describes you is the part we cannot know.
What is the evidence about the Made In carbon steel pan made of, axis by axis?
Nine separate measurements of the evidence, each stated in the units it was counted from. They are never added together and there is no overall rating.
Domain authority
3 recommenders, weighted by demonstrated expertise in carbon steel pans. Weighted by expertise in this category, never by audience size.
Independent consensus
3 independent voices across 4 sources. How many independent voices converge, unweighted.
Long-term ownership
3 dated ownership reports, median 2 months. Volume and length of dated first-hand ownership reports.
Performance
13 performance claims. Claims about how well it does the job.
Value
1 claim about price relative to what it does. Claims about what it costs relative to what it does.
Repairability
1 repairability claim. Claims about whether it can be maintained or rebuilt.
Community breadth
all evidence from a single community so far. How many distinct communities converge, rather than one echo chamber.
Recency of evidence
most recent evidence from 2025. How recent the evidence is. Old evidence is not wrong, just older.
Objections raised
10 negative claims, mostly performance and durability. How much complaint is on the record. A high figure means the drawbacks have been stated and quoted, not that the thing is worse.
These are separate measurements, not components of a score. They are never added together, and there is no overall rating, because which of them matters depends on what you are buying the thing for. An axis that says no evidence means nobody has spoken about it, not that the answer is low.
What do people say about the Made In carbon steel pan?
Endorsements and objections about the Made In carbon steel pan in one list, strongest evidence first. Each timecode opens the source at the second it was said.
So, you know, as a usable pan, I would say over my copper pan that this is even more of a usable pan.

Cook Culture was given the product. Stated in the source: “this pan here was given to me by Maiden.” Kept and labelled rather than dropped: a paid endorsement is still evidence, and you should be the one to decide what it is worth.
But, you know, for my trusted Duboet, you know, the Mineral B and the Mineral B Pro, um, you know, I think it fits in there beautifully.
especially if you're thinking about giving it to somebody, it's absolutely fantastic.
Overwhelmingly, people really enjoy the pan and it's doing what they want it to do

This guy is conducting more heat. More heat's being pulled into it. So, it is a little bit of a hotter pan.
I had brought this down just cooking this on a one out of 10. So really, really gentle heat just to get a nice even fry.
Uh, but you know what it's done in such a short time I think is completely adequate.
Uh, but you know what it's done in such a short time I think is completely adequate.
So, I think it look great. Made in pan here. Little bit residue. Really nothing much. And residue, nothing on there.
It's got that that micro texture on it, which is a a purpose thing done by Maiden. They do several different finishings to the pan to give it a texture and then they season that to grab hold of that texture to make sure that it works incredibly well and that it stands up really well.
So, the seasoning that I've done from cooking has worked out great with a simple egg test.
But the heat is down on the maiden pan. But I would say that that pan is cooking a nice delicate crepe beautifully.
I am finding that using this seasoning that they've done and the the finish has worked out really really nicely. It's really even and it works beautifully. So I have no problem with how that pan has finished up. Like it's it's seasoning beautifully.
So, you know, the ease of maintenance to what they've done makes it great.
there's now a lot of reviews online from the previous 9-in pan that was launched a a year ago and they've got 4.6 six out of five stars.

I love what they've done with this pan. They've replicated an old pan and what is old is new. And to me, that is a beautiful thing in cookware.
So, this is, you know, a a celebration of the history of cookware that Maiden has done. And I think that is a absolutely tremendous thing.
So, I'm a fan. I think what they've done is amazing.
And they had created this small run of this amazing looking pan.

9-in beautiful pan and it was sold out.
superficially, I'm in love with this pan. Like the first time I saw that amazing Ferrari in Ferris Beer's Day Off car that I could not get out of my head. This pan is the same to me.
this pan is in brilliant, brilliant shape. It's hardly any carbon buildup. It's just such a beautiful, beautiful pan.
Like, you know, this guy is wonderfully uniform in its in its color, and that's already started that way. So, it looks beautiful to start with.
Uh, amazing pan. They partnered with Dubet and had a French-made carbon steel pan made. Did a bangup job and they took that wave as carbon steel cast iron was was coming back in.
Cites build quality
Unfortunately, this pan performed the worst in my heat retention test.

here are some steaks that I cooked in it after about two months of use to be fair the pan was only two months old but it has been through several rounds of seasoning and regular cooking and yet it was still sticking

I can see some of the seasoning on the maiden pan dissolving let's wash it and inspect the damage well that's not good
well I was wrong even after a year of use this band is not working for me

here's some smashed Burgers see how unevenly they are Browning yes I tried to heat up the panel longer to get it to even out but even without the oil some parts of the pan got hot so quickly that they started to smoke this uneven Browning is easy to explain the pan is just too thin
but what I can't easily explain is how sticky the span is and how badly it holds seasoning
I don't know how to explain it but here is my guess after I wash the pan I dry it and set it over the burner to dry completely then I rub it with a tiny bit of oil and wait for it to harden over moderate heat for 10 to 15 minutes I have a feeling that some parts of the pan get overheated by the time all the oil pollen…
here is what attracted me to it it has a stainless steel handle which is supposed to stay cool and reduce the weight of the pan for a 12 inch carbon steel pan it's pretty light sure it's not as light as a 12 inch stainless steel pan but for its category it is one of the lightest pans out there
This is my first time using an induction burner, so I actually accidentally warped this pan, and the middle started bowing out.

it wasn't great out of the box. It's a seasoned pan, but it's not ready to cook. It needs some seasoning. It needs like proper cooking seasoning, not just the protectant layer that's on it.

I think that's working well and you know the pan works and feels well like it's a it's a nice balance to the pan. Sits on the stove top really nicely.

the texture of the pan, it comes like the Lodge carbon steel. comes with this kind of like almost like a candy coating shell on it like a a rough texture all around it which isn't as appealing as the softness the rawness of when you open up a dubet pan or a mattifer pan or a lot of the brands you know that that you…

And in a tactile sense, I'm not excited about that part of it.
I wish I watched Scott's video before I shelled out a hundred bucks on this pen but live and learn
after a bit of Googling I found out that my experience with Maiden carbon steel pan is not unique
Cites non-stick surface (against)
As you can see, the egg already starts sliding in the pan right in the beginning. This is a good indication that you've preheated your pan and oil enough.

One thing that I found is that the brass handle heats up. Some people found it got really hot.

And that handle, it's starting to get warm. Like it's a bit too hot right in the middle. I'm grabbing the center.
It's got some, you know, negatives to it like the handle
This is bigger than I kind of want. I would have loved to have had the nine. I just like that size for that type of pan, but the 11 is going to be perfect for my family of four.

Note, I actually had to go pretty hard on this pan to get it back into shape. But I've spent like half of my life beating stuff, so it wasn't too bad.
Cites repairability
I let the pan cool down, and then it eventually returned back to almost flat, and I finished it off on the gas burner.

As you can see, the seasoning looks pretty nicely done.
Cites seasoning durability
I talked about the the textured surface. I I didn't really actually notice it that much. I thought I would more, but uh you know, it's a nice uniform color. I'm not negative against it, I think, as I was now using it and seeing it sitting on the stove top.

I bought one of their original carbon steel pans that I have here.
re-seasoning in the oven might solve this problem but I can't run the oven for an hour every time I use this Pan the slight re-seasoning on the stovetop is very typical although the pan did get a bit more nonstick with them the seasoning is still very finicky

but yeah, like comparatively that one's actually cold, but yeah, it's a it's a bit warm. It's warmer than the than the mineral B, but that's not a problem. I don't have any worry about that right now.
