Darto Carbon Steel - The best carbon steel pan you haven't heard of

Darto carbon steel pans are not the world's most famous carbon steel pans, but that's by design.

In my latest video, you will meet Nicolas Grosny, the designer and owner of Darto. He tells me about his life in design and how he took an unconventional path to design one of my favourite pans.

Never thought I would spend an hour watching a video about design and manufacturing of carbon steel skillets, but this was such an interesting interview in so many ways. Watch the vid if you haven't yet!

(I own two Darto pans since before, and can only agree with all the recommendations!)

I bought the Darto 25 based on this interview. A LOT more cooking are than a DeBuyer of similar size.
Seasoned 5 times in the oven and it’s more non stick than a Teflon pan.
Superb customer service and delivered to Germany in 5 days.
In a nutshell: buy a Darto pan today!

Crazy these pans haven’t seen the limelight. Been using them several years now, and are still the best value for cookware out there. No frills no gimmicks, just one thick clean cut of steel to cook with.

These Darto pans look intriguing. I love that there's no rivets, and the cooking surface is so much bigger than the Matfer or De Buyer pans. Great interview, too.

Great to see a review of Darto here on YouTube. I love how thick their pans are, and the one-piece construction!

Received my n20 yesterday and completed one seasoning session in the oven and made my eggs with a small amount of butter with little to no effort this morning. The simplistic design is great.

[deirdreberger]

Lol, “I would argue that Darto is the hippest carbon steel on the market.”

I have to say, it looks super functional and a gorgeous pan! 😍

[CADO]

Great pants and how great to hear from the gentleman behind them. Real and humble. I will definitely continue to be a customer. Some griddles would be great! Single and dual burner

Great interview, it all makes better sense now. I've looked for the most convenient carbon steel pan for myself for about 6 months online, reading every forum entry, watching all the videos. Then I found Darto. Go a little deep, loved the comments, loved the one piece design and decided I should give it a shot. I think I am the first who bought a Darto from Türkiye and it really was delivered in 7 days as promised. There was a scratch on the corner so I e-mailed them. Send some photos. They assured me that will not create any problems with cooking but at the same time he said they shouldn’t have send a scratched product like that so they send me a second pan free of charge. Now me and my brother have great Darto's and love them. I've been cooking almost everyday with my pan for the last 11 months and getting better at it as well. Can't stop talking about it and cooking for my friends and family.

I was instantly sold ! I just ordered two (a 25 and a 20). The design is brilliant and it's exactly what I was looking for as I'm not a fan of the classic designs. I was literally looking for information on carbon steel cookware brands when I landed this video! It was meant to be. Kudos to everyone behind this company!

I'm really loving the fresh take on cook ware that you're delivering through your channel's content. Thank you for putting these out there, I LOVE this!

I’ve had my n27 about 2 weeks now (my first carbon steel pan) and am absolutely loving this pan…as well as my family lol. I followed your oven method for seasoning for 4 rounds then did a butter basted steak (picanha) which I overcooked just a hair as I’m not familiar with cooking on carbon steel. It’s been all good ever since. Seasoning seems to be coming along well. I was a bit worried as I had to cook the steaks with avocado oil for my brother who is on carnivore and seed oils are a no no. But it doesn’t seem to be affecting the seasoning too badly as I am washing it and doing a beeswax post season when I’m done. Glad I saw this collab.

Love my DARTO pans! I have an n.20 and an n.27, and both have been fantastic. Love the one piece design, and I know they will last me the rest of my life.

[dalepellerin]

Ordered 4 of them based upon this interview. Thank you.

[amoswhitwam]

Great interview! Love the story about your learning experience and product development. Hope you look to expand your product line to include things like bumper stickers, hats, or shirts at some point in the future; this would be a great way to help people strike up conversations and spread the word about Darto (continued advertising by happy customers). Looking at placing an order for a few next week, super stoked!

It's Dec 04 and I am buying 2 today, What a beautiful Pan, One Piece, Genius! and a great looking Pan, I agree the design means a lot with the Pan ans usually all items. Now I can't wait to get them, I am in Victoria not too far from Cook Culture store in Victoria, BC, Thanks for this video.

[paule]

The only pans to have. Just received the new N.30 sauté pan, it is great. Been using the older design 27 pans for years. They are way better than any non stick pan.

[Panholistic]

Darto pans are indeed special and I have 3 of them home and one on its way to me. Thank you this was a very interesting video!

[CastawayHikes]

I had never heard of them but a one piece pan is exactly what I was looking for. I literally just bought 3 😅

[harrypond]

I watched the video, bought the Darto 30 and am totally sold. It is our go to pan and the next time I see a free shipping sale I will buy a couple of the 20s and 25s. This is really a good product.
