It’s the perfect size for everyday cooking and feels very sturdy and well made. It heats evenly, cooks beautifully, and has quickly become one of my go-to pans in the kitchen.
This pan is super nice heavy duty would highly recommend it. … Your steaks come out awesome. Making breakfast on this pan is awesome. … We’re using it for camping and at home.
Functionality it cooks great. Visually a stunner and built to last!
Not as heavy as cast iron but all the same qualities. It works on my stove top and in the oven. It is also great for an open fire when camping.
Who makes it
One family. One shop. Gilmer, Texas.
Texas Pan Company is Ben, his sons Caleb and Connor, and their cousin Jacob. We started because we were tired of non-stick pans flaking into our food. We value things that are made in America and made by hand, so that is how we make ours. Every pan is cut, pressed, seasoned, and riveted by hand in our shop in Gilmer.
The family
Ben, his sons Caleb and Connor, and cousin Jacob.
The shop
Gilmer, Texas. Where three of us were born and raised.
The rule
American steel, American copper. No exceptions.
Kitchen to campfire
One pan. Every fire.
Move from a weeknight range to a roaring campfire without changing tools. Carbon steel belongs wherever real cooking happens.
Range
Fast response and everyday control.
Oven
Move from sear to finish without changing pans.
Open flame
Built to work where the fire is.
What's in the pan
Steel, copper, and grapeseed oil. That's it.
12-gauge domestic carbon steel, a forged handle, and three copper rivets set by hand. The cooking surface is grapeseed oil baked onto the steel for an hour. It gets better the more you cook on it.
No coating
Nothing sprayed or bonded onto the steel.
No PTFE or PFOA
The chemicals behind traditional non-stick aren't in this pan.
Seasoned, not coated
If the seasoning wears, you put it back with oil and heat.
Use it hard. Keep it forever.
Built for Generations.

The essentials
Know your steel.
We start with domestic carbon steel sourced in the United States—not imported steel from China or overseas. A little care earns that honest material a lifetime of performance.
Why carbon steel?
Carbon steel combines responsive heat control with the toughness required for high-temperature cooking. With seasoning and use, the surface becomes increasingly personal to the cook.
Where does your steel come from?
We use domestic carbon steel sourced in the United States—not steel imported from China or elsewhere overseas. That American steel is then formed and built into cookware here in Texas.
How much does it weigh?
3 lb 14 oz.
Can I cook over an open fire?
Yes. Texas Pan Company cookware is made for the range, oven, grill, and open flame. Let the pan heat gradually and use the same good judgment you would with any high-temperature cookware.
How do I care for carbon steel?
Wash it simply, dry it completely, and apply a very light coat of oil when needed. Regular cooking and proper drying are the foundation of a durable seasoned surface.
What if I don't like it?
Send it back within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. It needs to be unused and in its original packaging. Email sales@texaspancompany.com with your order number and we'll send instructions. For a change-of-mind return, you cover return shipping. If the pan arrived damaged or defective, we do.
