Vollrath 11 inch Carbon Steel Fry Pan

Why this shape

Sixteen-gauge carbon steel is thin enough to answer the burner in seconds and thick enough to hold a sear under a cold steak, the flat bottom sits full on any burner without rocking, and the welded plated handle has no rivets to catch food or breed bacteria. The eleven-inch size fits two chicken breasts or a single large piece of fish without crowding. Made in Sheboygan, Wisconsin — a working-kitchen cast-iron-and-steel town — at a price a line cook can buy with their own money.
