OXO Carbon Steel Frying Pan 10-inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet, Induction-Ready, Oven Safe, Removable Silicone Sleeve

The OXO Obsidian 10" Carbon Steel Frying Pan is a pre-seasoned, lightweight skillet that builds a durable natural nonstick surface with use and performs on all stovetops, including induction.

Designed for home cooks who want pro-level results without the weight of cast iron, this 10-inch carbon steel frypan arrives ready to cook and improves over time as the seasoned surface darkens. It sears, browns, and fries efficiently because carbon steel heats quickly and evenly. The pan goes from stovetop to oven or grill, and it includes a removable silicone sleeve for safer, more comfortable handling.

How does this pan develop a nonstick surface?

The pan comes pre-seasoned so you can start cooking right away; each use continues to build up a patina that naturally reduces sticking. Regular cooking with oil and gentle hand washing preserves and enhances that layer over time.

• Pre-seasoned factory finish for immediate use
• Patina improves with frying, searing, and oil-based cooking
• Avoid abrasive scrubbing to maintain the seasoning
• Hand wash only to protect the developing nonstick surface

Is this skillet safe for high-heat cooking and ovens?

Yes — the carbon steel construction tolerates high temperatures and transfers seamlessly from burner to oven or grill for finishing dishes under intense heat. OXO rates the pan as safe for oven use up to 660°F (350°C), making it suitable for broiling finishes and high-temperature searing.

• Oven- and grill-ready up to 660°F / 350°C
• Sturdy material holds up to high-heat cooking techniques
• Removable silicone sleeve protects hands from hot handle
• Use metal utensils without damaging the pan

Will this work on my stovetop and with metal utensils?

The OXO Obsidian pan is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, and is engineered for even heating across the base. It’s built to withstand metal spatulas and tongs, so you can sear and deglaze confidently.

• Flat base and conductive steel for quick, even heating
• Compatible with gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops
• Metal-utensil safe for professional-style techniques
• Hand washing recommended to preserve the seasoned finish

What practical accessories and care steps come with the pan?

The pan includes a removable silicone handle sleeve for comfortable grip and safety while cooking. Caring for carbon steel is simple: hand wash, dry thoroughly, and lightly oil as needed to maintain the patina and prevent rust.

• Removable silicone sleeve for heat protection and grip
• Hand wash only; dry promptly to avoid oxidation
• Occasional oiling keeps the surface seasoned and nonstick
• Sturdy construction designed for frequent, versatile use

Who is this for? The OXO Obsidian 10" Carbon Steel Frying Pan suits home cooks, weekend chefs, and anyone upgrading from nonstick or stainless pans who wants professional searing and a lighter alternative to cast iron. It’s particularly well matched to cooks who value quick heat response, versatile stovetop-to-oven performance, and a pan that becomes better with regular use.
