What’s the best way to care for the Tom Colicchio Pan?

We recommend the same care guidelines for the Tom Colicchio Pan as we do for each piece in our Carbon Steel Collection. For your first cook out of the box, we suggest cooking bacon, steak, or another fatty ingredient to kick start the buildup of a smooth, naturally non stick surface. To clean, wait for the pan to completely cool before removing excess grease or debris with a paper towel or rag. Stubborn food remnants can be removed by adding enough water to cover the debris, boiling the water, then gently scraping it off with a wooden spoon. For more detailed care information, check out our Ultimate Guide to Caring for Carbon Steel Cookware.

What’s the difference between the Tom Colicchio Carbon Steel Pan and our standard Carbon Steel Frying Pan?

The Tom Colicchio Carbon Steel Pan is a limited-edition product that features exclusive design elements not included on our standard Carbon Steel Frying Pans. These include a thicker gauge of preseasoned carbon steel (to emulate years of use), a 100% brass handle featuring Chef Colicchio’s signature, and an extended handle length to ensure it’s always within reach.

Does the brass handle get hot?

Since the handle is 100% brass and is not the same construction as our Stay-Cool Handle, it heats up when used over a heat source or in the oven. To keep hands safe, use a dish towel, oven mitt, or the included chef towel when maneuvering the pan around the stove or in and out of the oven.

Long before we collaborated on Fishing Knives and Roasting Pans, Tom mentioned this specific Carbon Steel Frying Pan a lot—almost enough to make us jealous, and definitely enough to make us curious. That led us first to a 3D printer, where we scanned Tom’s perfect pan, undoing 30 years worth of James Beard Award-winning cooking and hard-earned seasoning, to finally (re)create Tom’s Pan, which he purchased from Zabar’s in the 1980s.

Our Carbon Steel combines the heat retention of Cast Iron with the control and maneuverability of Stainless Clad, resulting in a natural non stick alternative. We stamp Carbon Steel into a thin disc that’s half the weight of cast iron but every bit as durable—so it seasons faster, responds quicker, and is rugged enough for your grill or open flame.

The pan clocks in at 2.5mm thick—compared to our standard 2.0mm—to add extra heft, quality, and durability. The 100% brass handle is long and easy to reach, even from the back of the oven. Brass develops its own unique patina and character over time, evolving alongside the Pan’s seasoning.

This is an amazing pan. Great quality, great weight and beautiful brass handle. It’s been the only pan I’ve been using lately. Love it!
Sheldon W. Verified buyer
Super non stick and fast. This pan is heavy and cooks like a champ. It looks real good on the stove top with the brass handle.
Tim B. Verified buyer
Top quality pan for any kitchen. Solid feel without the heft of cast iron and I can use it anywhere, on my induction cooktop, oven or even on the grill. Highly recommend.
