Heritage Copper Skillet

Blanc Creatives

$579.00

French-style copper, hand-forged in Virginia for your Southern kitchen

Imagine the romance of a Mauviel pan in a Paris bistro kitchen, but hammered in Virginia for a Lowcountry kitchen. The Heritage Copper Skillet is forged from thick .080" copper, lined in hand-wiped tin, and finished with a sculpted bronze handle in Blanc’s signature silhouette. It’s that same old-world copper story—fast, even heat and a quietly gleaming presence on the stove—translated for the life you’re building at home.

On weeknights it’s his go-to for perfect eggs and pan sauces; on weekends it sears scallops, finishes steaks in the oven, and then glides straight to the table without ever looking out of place next to your Liberty napkins. Because Blanc only produces the Heritage line in a single limited run each year, there’s a real sense of “get it now or miss it for a season. It feels less like buying a pan and more like claiming a future heirloom.

Why you'll love this pan...

Heritage copper in the tradition of classic French makers

Blanc’s Heritage Copper Skillet is forged from thick copper with a hand-applied tin lining, echoing the construction of iconic French copper houses like Mauviel—only this one is hammered in Virginia for your own family’s story.

Once-a-year release, made in truly limited, heirloom-worthy batches

The Heritage line is produced in a single limited run annually, then it’s gone until the next year. That scarcity, combined with hand-forged craftsmanship, makes each skillet feel more like a numbered print than a commodity pan.

Fast, even heat for restaurant-level searing and gentle simmering

Copper is prized by professional kitchens for its responsiveness—quick to heat, quick to cool, and beautifully even across the pan.

Craftsman Profile

Blanc Creatives

Corry Blanc is a blacksmith, designer, and self-described tinkerer who grew up in north Georgia with the sound of grinders and welders as his background music. .In 2007 he moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, working with renowned blacksmiths at Stokes of England and then striking out on his own with high-end architectural ironwork just as the 2008 recession hit.To keep the lights on he cooked and catered in local restaurants, quietly merging his two worlds: food and metal.

Blanc Creatives was born in 2012, when Corry began making food-focused pieces—skillets, roasters, tools—to sell at the Charlottesville farmers’ market and to chef friends who were willing to test his designs on the line.Those first carbon-steel pans, hammered one at a time, would go on to win Garden & Gun’s Made in the South grand prize in 2015, land in The New York Times gift guide, and generate waitlists measured in months, not days. Today Corry leads a small guild-like team of metalworkers and woodworkers in Charlottesville, producing small-batch cookware and culinary tools he calls “modern heirlooms”—pieces meant to be used every day, passed down someday, and loved the whole way through.

Blanc Creatives’ carbon-steel pans, which took Garden & Gun’s Made in the South Home prize, are praised for marrying cast-iron-style heat with a lighter, slimmer, restaurant-ready profile that home cooks instantly understand.

Ruth Reichl calls her Blanc Creatives skillet a “thing of beauty” and loves that carbon steel gives her all the versatility of cast iron at roughly half the weight, backed by a lifetime guarantee.

Virginia Living traces how Blanc’s Heritage line earned national attention after the Garden & Gun win, sparked nine-month waitlists, and evolved into the largest producer of handcrafted carbon steel in the U.S.

LeafScore describes Blanc Creatives as a luxury, made-in-America option for hand-hammered copper, noting that the Heritage collection is “stunning” but hard to get, and that small-batch production means lines sell out quickly

Copper Cookware Use and Care

How do I clean my copper pan after cooking?

Let the pan cool slightly, then wash the inside with warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft sponge . Avoid steel wool and abrasive cleaners on the tin lining; they can scratch and speed up wear. Stubborn food can usually be lifted by soaking.

Can I put my copper pans in the oven?

Yes—tin-lined copper is oven-safe within reasonable temperatures (many makers recommend staying under ~450°F / 230°C). It’s perfect for finishing steaks, roasting chicken, or baking gratins.

What kind of stovetops can I use my copper pan on?

Copper works beautifully on gas and most electric and glass-ceramic cooktops. Traditional copper is not naturally induction-compatible unless it has a special magnetic base.
