Nonstick Surface
Customers have mixed opinions about the nonstick surface of this OXO Outdoor Carbon Steel Skillet, but generally positive. While some customers praise its ease of use and cleaning, others suggest improvements for better non-stick performance and handle design. The pan heats up quickly and evenly, making it a popular choice for camping and car travel due to its compact size and detachable handle.
Highlights
Quality
Carbon steel pans are such good things, much more forgiving, lighter weight, easier to clean than cast iron.
The handle mechanism is very handy and lock is very robust.
The main reason i chose this pan with the detachable handle isn’t for storage… it’s for the poor heat transfer in the joint!
Heats even, very non stick from the factory even, i’m sure it will get better with use.
Packaging/appearance
I like the packable design (i got it for camping).
I especially like the removable handle which makes packing this pan with the rest of the cooking gear much easier.
Competitiveness
Also many of the other brands of carbon steel pans have extremely long handles that wouldn't work in my small space.

No need to have a silicone sleeve on this pan because the heat doesn’t make it into the handle

It’s honestly bad enough that if you don’t have access to a bench grinder or metal file and don’t want to add a sleeve to it i wouldn’t purchase this pan

However because of the detachable handles on the oxo outdoor skillets i picked these up in the 8inch and 10inch versions hoping to save some storage space

When handled these skillets feel thinner and lighter than the lodge carbon steel and have a much smoother cooking surface than the more pebbled surface in my lodge carbon steel skillets

After washing the protective coating off the oxo skillets they were pretty much nonstick from day one

The 1034 skillet is pretty flat but has just the slightest bit of a crown in the center
