I liked the Stagecoach so much I bought it even though I can't use it until my kitchen is finished in the Fall. Maybe the Northwest Skillet (lighter) vs. the Stagecoach (heavier)?
I don’t know how heavy his newer designed skillets are. He’s very active on instagram. I’d reach out to him about weight of his current pans. He will respond
Wow! Now that's an investment in fine carbon steel artisan frying pans. I thought for sure you would have one from Santa Barbara Forge. I want to get one from them some day.
@@Panfoolery I’m sure it will. Speaking for myself, cooking wasn’t my forte but I’ve picked up new cookware, recipes and techniques to provide my family with healthy home cooked meals. The best part of these carbon steel pans is the simplicity of which they are made of, Iron and Oil. Wishing you the best and love the content
Thanks for sharing! I did not realize some of these companies existed. I have a Blue Skillet coming and an existing Smithey that is one of my favorite pans. The others I had no idea about.
Northwest skillet company: Good dimensions on the pan. Including weight. Almost 2 inch walls which is good. High price though. Smithey: Good asthetics and decent work put on the making of the pan. Very low walls, so less versatility with what you cook. Makes a great searing pan. Price is high but not as high as other handforged pans in comparison. 3 nail ironware: Also good dimensions. Full 2 inch walls. Good weight. Price similar to smithey. Blanc creatives: Good looking pans. One of the best handles. Still, frying pans base is very low in height. Sautee pans base is better for an overall pan shape but way more expensive. Small cooking surface though. Blu skillet: Very good asthetics. Handle looks also really good. Dimensions are really good. I would always consider the french pans over the frying pans. More versatility, considering at that price you want to make the most out of the pans. Most expensive brand and hard to obtain. Copper state forge: Not mentioned but also a very good brand. Similar to blu skillet in Quality and looks. But less price. Deep skillets over frying pans are the better choice. The half inch difference makes a big difference. Stage coach forge: Good looks. Not that high walls though. Heavy for the size. One of the most affordable good looking pans. In conclusion: When buying a handforged carbon steel pan versatility is one of the most important features you are looking for. Unless you mind buying many different pans. Lyonnaise shape, the french shape, is the most useful pan shape there is. If I had to choose, considering performance and versatility of use, based on the data presented on their websites, I would choose either 3 Nail ironware, Blu skillet or Copper State Forge. Being looks what ends the deal, Blu skillet would be my choice. Concretely their 13 inch and 10 inch french pans. Both functional pieces of art. I would buy two 10 inch pans to make 2 steaks at the same time and one 13 inch for bigger batches. Maybe one day I deliver those 3 pans to Europe. 💪
They’ve really thought out the design a bit more on the smithey as well. From mine to the ones they sell now the handle leverage is way better and the surfaces are now treated and textured making seasoning a better process. Good choice! If you like the leaf handle one in the future go visit stage coach forge website. Dedicated, kind, hardworking businessman in rural Oregon
I actually found it and bought the 9, 14, and wok with cooper. Also picked up the spoon and spatula. Beautiful so happy you made this video thank you! Oh got the lids to very excited.
Favorite is the 3 Nail Ironware with the countersunk rivets! I'm a sucker for no rivets. Also will add my thumbs up to the Copper State Forge crowd, I've got a couple of their hybrid skillets, love the shape, and they're we're a pleasure to do business with.
Because of the handle balance I give the edge slightly to blu skillet. I use the blanc sometimes because it looks so nice. It’s not balanced poorly but the long handle isn’t angled as much giving less leverage. Construction on both pans is solid
Depends. Overall verdict if money is your main concern then my answer would be no. You can achieve results just as well with a matfer or debuyer pan at a fraction of the cost. The surface feels really nice on the Blu skillet and it seasons a little better than commercially produced pans but your technique will make the bigger impact. If you love the story behind the piece and the artistic vision then that could be worth the money. It’s beautiful to look at

A cooking competition would be nice. Maybe comparing a heavier skillet to a lighter skillet to show the differences in weight and performance.
I’ll consider that 👍 which were your favorite?

@@Panfoolery The one I just bought is 13" copper handle and weighs 6 lbs., 2 oz.

They’ve popped on my radar before. Nice looking stuff
Nice collection
Thank you! Do you have any of these? Any that you’re seeking?
Love your collection. The seasoning looks amazing! Beautiful carbon steel cookware.
Thanks for watching! Each one has a story. It’s such a cool niche kind of cookware. Hope it picks up in popularity over time

The Athena is my favorite! Looks so cool on the outside!
Thank you for watching!

It’s quite a rabbit hole. They never get old. Blue skillet is great!

That seasoning looks amazing
I appreciate that! I take pride in taking care of these beauties! Which one is your favorite?
+1 can you do a video on seasoning? Thx!
Sure! I’ll add it to my list 🤠
I have a couple of skillets from Copper State Forge. I love them and Tristan and Bill are great people!
I’ve seen those! Good lookin pieces. Thank you for watching ✌️
Love the leaf handle pan its stunning and my favorite! I will probably buy the smithy just because it’s easily available.
They’ve really thought out the design a bit more on the smithey as well.

3 nail is so sturdy. Good call. I may invest in a copper state one day it depends…. My cabinets are pretty full as you could imagine 😂
Bluskillet vs Blanc creative. Which one do you like more?
Because of the handle balance I give the edge slightly to blu skillet. I use the blanc sometimes because it looks so nice. It’s not balanced poorly but the long handle isn’t angled as much giving less leverage. Construction on both pans is solid
In your opinion is the blu skillet ironware pan worth the money?

You didn't give the name of the last skillet with the copper handle. That was my favorite.
You’re so right! That’s stage coach forge in Oakland Oregon! I linked them in the description
@@Panfoolery Thanks, I will check it out.
THE XI on the 3 Nail's is the roman numeral 11...the size of the pan.
Thanks for sharing! That makes sense. Cool!
How much is that 10 inch steak pan?👀👀👀
