Yahgan

We've used the pan for a few weeks. Straight out of the box it has performed great without seasoning it at all. Very happy with this pan. It may be the last one I ever buy. Proud to be part of the tribe. Thanks , Tom.

I come from years of using DeBuyer pans, and I’m happy to say the Yahgan Black Series is a step above. The build quality is excellent — solid, perfectly finished, and clearly made to last a lifetime. The cooking surface is rougher than other carbon steel pans, more like cast iron, and I love it. It gives food a perfect sear and is truly non-stick from day one, without any seasoning required.

It retains heat beautifully and cooks evenly, making it great for everything from quick sautés to high-heat searing. The handle stays surprisingly cool, and while the ergonomics are straightforward, they’re comfortable for everyday use.

I also appreciate the small touches that show craftsmanship, like the year of production (2026) stamped into the steel — a detail that gives the pan character.

I’m from Spain, and delivery took around 10 business days, with everything arriving perfectly packaged. Yahgan has really impressed me with the quality and thoughtful design of their Black Series, and I would happily recommend this pan to my family and friends.

My new favourite pan. Great quality and awesome customer service.

Perfect

Amazing pan - Have always used non-stick prior to the Yahgan 26cm pan and will now never go back.. its like magic - such good heat distribution, solid feel and equivalent efficiency to the BBQ (which i typically cook everything on!). Would highly recommend.

Really enjoy cooking with my Yahgan. Thanks for making a great product.

I absolutely love this pan, it’s really good and it absolutely live up to my expectations. It heats up Well, when cleaning it is easy. It sears and fries well. In the beginning I had some sticking, but I expected that since I previously only had non stick pans, but once I mastered heat control, sticking went away. This is my favourite pan, and I will buy a smaller and a bigger pan in the series. The only issue I have is that the handle is sharp around the edges and it leaves a red mark in my hand and a little discomfort. This pan has been in almost daily use and it has become my go to pan. The heating distrbution of this pan is wonderful also. I love this pan and I highly recommend this pan to others.

After using my black Yahgan pan for a few months I have to say I absolutely love it! It's become my go to for everything and anything! Highly recommended...
I just wish there was another bigger version! Would buy instantly if Mau decides to make one!

Had to wait for Christmas to use it as I got it for my wife to give me as a gift. Followed the instructions - washed with warm soapy water and immediately dried it. Heated it up on the stove, added oil and did scrambled eggs - it was completely non stick, and so easy to clean afterwards. I was able to pick up the pan off the stove bare-handed as the handle felt room temperature.
Awesome pan.
Hopefully you'll make a bigger version, wider with a bit taller sides, so I can add that to my collection and have it available for when doing bigger meals.

Wow! Such a beautiful piece of cooking art. I'm finding any opportunity to cook with this pan and its such a delight. From eggs and omelets on my stove to foccacia in my wife ford oven this pan is a joy to use. What I didn't expect is the difference in taste... good just tastes better in a Yahgan pan. I cannot wait to add more cookwear to my collection 😍

I'm leery about carbon steel and other types of pans, I've purchased so many and been let down by most.

Probably because my cooking skills aren't great -- or aren't there at all! And having to maintain them is a bit onerous for me.

Have to say, the first cook of eggs in the nitrated Yaghan pan, after washing the pan when it arrived, slid around the pan after the proteins had cooked a bit no issues, and it continues to perform this way.

Very happy with it, best pan I've tried so far, so much so that I pre-ordered from the next batch, with the lid, and hoping I can buy just the lid for the initial pan at some point.

The handle is a bit too ornate for me, I like simpler, but too bad for me as I'll just have to live with that :)

/s.

Easily one of the best carbon steel pans i have used. After only a few uses it is performing like some of my bare steel pans that have been in use for years.

Well made pan. Is as described. Easy clean up after us. I a bit lighter the cast iron. Evenly heats. This will easily become my go to pan. Customer service is outstanding. The underdog has won this round.

A few months ago I decided to completely ditch teflon and switch to non-toxic cookware that can last me decades. Long story short: stumbled upon PapaMau’s youtube channel, watched a bunch of videos, saw this pan, got excited, and finally got it delivered to me here in Germany.

The pan is really beautiful and fits perfectly into my kitchen. I followed the advice in the videos and was able to cook eggs with no sticking from the very first try. Today I also made an omelette that turned out amazing. Excited to try out many more recipes! =)

Also appreciate the customer support: all my questions were answered in a timely manner with lots of care. You don’t see that often nowadays, so I do feel a special connection to this product.

If you're in Europe, know that the 24 cm glass lid from Le Creuset fits this pan perfectly!
