Misen Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan with Glass Lid, 10 inch

1. Cooking surface 40% of the rating 4 of 5

   Carbon steel with two baked-on coats of corn oil and no coating. Misen gives no steel composition, and its California disclosure lists iron, manganese, aluminum and phosphorus for carbon steel products without saying which pan has which.

2. Independent testing 20% of the rating 1 of 5

   No published test of this pan by anyone, and Misen publishes no lab report.

3. Durability 20% of the rating 3 of 5

   A limited lifetime warranty and a 60-day trial, but only for the original buyer who bought from Misen or its own Amazon account. Stripped seasoning, rust spots, flaking and sticking are not covered.

4. Trust 10% of the rating 3 of 5

   Names the material, the oil and China as the country of production. Misen sold PTFE non-stick pans until it discontinued them on 31 December 2024. No recall or Prop 65 notice found.

5. Value 10% of the rating 3 of 5

   $139 for 10 in with a glass lid, about the price of de Buyer’s French pan without a lid and three times Lodge’s $44.95 carbon steel pan.

Misen used to sell PTFE pans. Does this one have any PFAS?

It has no coating, and Misen’s California and Colorado disclosure (opens in a new tab) lists iron, manganese, aluminum and phosphorus for its carbon steel and no PFAS. The same page says Misen’s traditional non-stick pans, which contained PTFE, FEP and PFA, were discontinued on 31 December 2024. Its warranty page still lists that line.

Has anyone tested it for lead or other metals?

We found no published test of this pan, by Misen or anyone else. It is made in China, and Misen does not name the factory or the steel’s composition.

Where is it made?

The page says “Country of Production: CN”. Misen does not name the factory.

Who is paid to promote it?

Misen’s site lists a “Creator Program” and runs an ambassador sign-up (opens in a new tab) for influencers. We could not see what it pays, and we found no disclosure of which reviewers are in it. Our page takes no payment from anyone.

• The materials are stated plainly: carbon steel, “Seasoning Ingredients: Corn Oil”, two rounds of seasoning baked on, and a glass lid with a silicone rim and stainless steel handle.
• There is no coating on the pan: the surface is carbon steel with baked-on oil.
• Limits are written down: oven safe to 500°F, induction compatible, hand wash only. The lid is oven safe to 450°F.
• Origin is stated on the page as country of production CN, and Misen offers a 60-day test drive and free returns.
• Misen’s warranty is a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials, construction or workmanship.

• No one has published a test of it that we could find, and Misen gives no steel composition.
• Misen’s warranty applies only to the original purchaser and only if you bought from Misen.com or Misen’s own Amazon account. It excludes stripped seasoning, rust spots, flaking and uneven seasoning.
• It needs care: dry at once, apply a thin layer of oil after washing, and avoid acidic foods until the pan is fully seasoned.
• It is made in China, and its factory is not named. A French-made carbon steel pan costs about the same, and a US-made one costs a third.
