Strata Cookware is introducing what it calls the world’s first true carbon steel clad pan, designed to elevate home cooking in a safe, lightweight, and more dynamic way. The company positions the pan as an alternative to nonstick fads and fragile coatings, anchored in material science and built for long-term performance.
The breakthrough centers on a triple-clad build: a high-grade aluminum core for fast, even heating, a carbon steel exterior for strength and natural seasoning, and a smooth stainless steel cooking surface for control and easy cleanup. With no synthetic coatings or chemicals, the pan is meant to evolve with use. Its seasoned surface can be restored, allowing it to recover from wear and improve over time.
“Our mission to create a pan that will last a lifetime isn’t an overpromise—it’s the truth,” says Katie Kearns, Lead Product Designer at Strata. “We set out to build cookware that not only performs at the highest level, but earns a permanent place in your kitchen, and in generations to come. Every design decision, from the materials we choose to the elimination of synthetic coatings, is rooted in our belief that cookware should be intuitive, non-toxic, and built to stand the test of time. Strata is reimagining what cookware can be by putting intention, integrity, and longevity at the center of it all.”
Strata also highlights clarity and education, offering detailed material breakdowns, seasoning and care guides, and extensive real-world testing to set a new benchmark for transparency and trust in cookware.
