OUR STORY
I’m Mau, founder of YAHGAN, dad of three, engineer, outdoor cook, and lifelong fire-lover with roots in Argentina, a land deeply connected to food and fire.
YAHGAN was born the day we ditched non-stick for good and began searching for something better. What started as a hunt for healthier pans became a mission to create the one I couldn’t find.
After two years of prototyping, YAHGAN was born: a pan tough enough for the wild, practical for the kitchen, and beautiful enough to pass down. It’s made to flip pancakes with the kids at home or sear venison by the campfire and keep going for generations.
The name YAHGAN honours the native people of Tierra del Fuego: hunter-gatherers, masters of survival, community, and fire.
If you believe cooking is about connection, simplicity, and lasting tools… this pan was made for you.
Thanks for being part of the journey.

Breaking Free from Disposable Cookware
Most families feel stuck with non-stick pans.
We were one of them until we discovered carbon steel.
What started as an experiment quickly became a mission.
We realised healthy, durable cookware wasn't just possible - it was better in every way..
Yahgan exists to help more families make the switch from synthetic coatings to healthy cookware that lasts generations.
Yahgan pans have no synthetic coatings, no mystery chemicals. Just pure carbon steel goodness. Naturally nonstick. Your eggs, your health, and the planet will thank you.
The Heart of YAHGAN is in the Handle
Crafted from a single piece of carbon steel, YAHGAN eliminates the weakest point of most pans — the handle joint.
No rivets. No welds. No failure points.
Just seamless strength, shaped for comfort, control, and balance.
The spear-shaped cutout helps keep it cooler while paying tribute to the tools of the YAHGAN people — the original keepers of flame in the southernmost lands on Earth. A handle built for performance, and designed to reconnect us with what it means to be human.
yahgan comes in two series
The Classic Series is raw, rustic, and rewards tradition.
The Black Series bends it — same performance, less upkeep.
HONOURING TRADITION
CLASSIC SERIES
Forged from pure, 3mm thick raw carbon steel and pre-seasoned for a head start, these pans develop a rich patina over time, becoming more non-stick and more rust-resistant with every cook.
If you enjoy watching your tools gain character with each meal, the Classic is your forever companion.
Perfect choice for cooks who love tradition and take pride in the ritual of care.
A WORLD'S FIRST
BLACK SERIES
The world’s first one-piece carbon steel pan with a high-heat nitrogen treatment.
It hardens the surface, deepens the colour, and boosts rust resistance — all without coatings or synthetic chemicals.
The result? A rich, black finish that’s:
– Easier to care for
– Safe for acidic foods
– Naturally rust-resistant
– Built to look good forever

our products
Yahgan is an Australian company, and all of our designs are created and tested locally.
We went through an exhaustive global search to find the right partner — and found them in Hebei, China.
Our manufacturing partner has decades of experience producing high-end cookware for major European and American brands. They meet our exacting standards for quality, consistency, and safety.
Every production batch is also tested by an independent third-party lab before shipping, to ensure it meets international food safety standards.
Our pans are made from 100% pure carbon steel — no coatings, no alloys, no chemicals.
Just raw, honest metal that gets better with use.
Each production batch is tested by an independent third-party lab, and we only ship once certification is confirmed.
The Black Series is treated with nitriding, a high-heat process that hardens the surface and improves rust resistance. Less upkeep.
The Classic Series is raw carbon steel, for purists who love to care for their tools and prefer building their patina from scratch.
Nitriding is a high-heat treatment that infuses nitrogen — one of the main components of the air we breathe — into the surface of the steel.
The result? A harder, darker, and more rust-resistant pan — with zero coatings or chemicals.
Nitrogen is used in everything from aerospace parts to surgical tools.
If it’s safe enough to go inside your body, it’s safe enough for your kitchen!
Yes — the Black Series is nitrided, so it’s more resistant to acidity.
The Classic Series is also safe once seasoned well, but prolonged contact with acidic foods (like tomato sauces) may strip seasoning.
No — Yahgan was born to fight the war on forever chemicals and disposable cookware.
Our pans are 100% free from PTFE, PFOA, PFAS, and all synthetic coatings.
Nothing toxic — just pure, honest steel.
Gas, electric, induction, oven, BBQ, campfire, pizza oven — Yahgan pans work on all heat sources.
We don’t recommend cooking over lava... it might burn your food!
They are heavy… but in a good way.
Balanced and manageable — just enough weight to feel solid.
Both the Black Series and Classic Series weigh around 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs).
That’s nearly 1 kg (2.2 lbs) lighter than a comparable cast iron pan.
For now, yes. We chose to launch without delay, starting with the most popular pan size — our first baby.
We’ve already designed a full range of cookware, and new sizes will launch in 2026.
This is just the start — thanks for being part of it!
