Never throw away a pan again. A set of pre-seasoned carbon steel pans that will last a lifetime.

Story

THANK YOU to the 6,000 backers who’ve made our last three campaigns a success! As promised, we continue to create kitchen essentials designed to last a lifetime. We’re excited to present our pre-seasoned carbon steel pans.

 

How many ‘non-stick’ frying pans have you thrown out? Even if you baby your pan, never put it in the dishwasher, only use soft utensils, and sing sweet, sweet love songs to it while cooking. They’ll still end up in a sticky, scratchy mess. A brand-new non-stick pan is a marvel of modern-day engineering. We just hate they all end up as a landfill. 

Like all our cookware, our carbon steel pans come with a lifetime warranty. We’ve done our utmost to over-engineer them. And the best part? They only get better over time.

Our pans come pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. The case-hardened steel is rust-resistant. And the micro-textured surface ensures a great base for the seasoning to stick.

Our skillets are made with carbon steel and stainless steel, making them safe and practically indestructible. Perfect for gas, ceramic, induction, ovens, BBQs, and even campfires if you’re adventurous!

What always bugged us about carbon steel pans were the handles. They’re unwieldy and get as hot as the pan. Why!?!

 

No more! We’ve designed a stainless steel handle that feels great, looks fantastic, and keeps the heat in the pan. Max, our engineer, used FEM analysis to create this masterpiece of a handle that you’ll love.

 

We’re crazy about this thing! Our 28x36cm (11x14inch) roasting tray is a game-changer. This 2.5mm thick, pre-seasoned carbon steel tray is super versatile! You can use it to brown something on the stove and then finish it in the oven. How about a full English breakfast in one pan? Or pancakes for days?

A non-stick coating’s hydrophobicity is what makes it non-stick, but it also impedes heat conduction. Moisture creates a barrier, slowly simmering your food into being done.  Leading to boiled and bland food.

In a carbon steel pan, the food takes up much more heat from the pan in a shorter timeframe. This results in our favorite chemical reaction: the Maillard reaction. Carbon steel is king at turning sugars and protein into delicious golden brown tastiness. 

Even the lids are over-engineered! They add cooking headroom and save storage space, fitting perfectly inside the pans. Say goodbye to struggling with fitting a lid over tall food items like meatballs. These oven and dishwasher-safe lids can be added to your set in the add-ons.

 

We pride ourselves on our customer service. We understand that buying something on Indiegogo has drawbacks. You’re supporting something new and have to wait months for it to arrive.

We think it’s only fair that we do everything we can to make sure you enjoy your experience. We’re grateful for your support and are dedicated to delivering high-quality products and service.

Cooking with carbon steel pans may require some adjustments, but we’re here to help! Our website will offer comprehensive resources on your carbon steel pans. Keep your pans in perfect condition for a lifetime of use. Master the art of cooking and caring for carbon steel pans in no time!

We are trying to make products you can hand down to the next generation. We would also like to do our part in ensuring the next generation can enjoy a clean planet.

All of our products are carbon compensated 10 times over. In the past three years, we have compensated over 1.000.000 kg of Co2. By planting almost 3000 trees and supporting emissions-reducing projects.

We aim to ship all Indiegogo rewards in October. That should give us ample time to ensure each and every pan is up to snuff. That being said, developing a brand-new product comes with risks. We won’t ship out a single pan unless it exceeds our quality standards.

Rewards will be shipped from the Netherlands and the UK. This means backers from the EU, the UK, and the US will not encounter any duties or VAT.

By launching on Indiegogo we are able to reach the volume we need to produce cost-effectively without costly loans or middlemen.

On Indiegogo, you’re buying directly from us. Distributors and retailers add between 50 to 100% of the retail price to be able to take care of the cost of the store itself, advertising, and other overhead costs.

We produce your pans in large batches further lowering the cost of production. We’re able to offer our complete set of carbon steel pans at an almost 50% discount over the retail price.

Return policy. Indiegogo is a platform that allows innovators to offer their creations and ideas at discounted prices. These funds go towards initiating production and launching the product, resulting in a product that the backer can enjoy. In accordance with IndiegogoTerms of Use, we will not offer refunds or returns for items that are not defective. However, in the event that you receive a faulty item, you are welcome to contact us at info@barecookware.com

Shipping. We ship to a large number of countries worldwide. The shipping rate to your country will be indicated in the check-out menu when making a pledge for this campaign. We’re unable to ship worldwide this campaign due to the weight of the set of pans and the consequent shipping cost. Please note that the price of the item does not include additional duties and taxes that may apply as per local laws of importation.

Rewards will be shipped from the Netherlands and the UK. This means backers from the EU, the UK, and the US will not encounter any duties or VAT.
