Almost Perfect Legacy Pan

Limited Edition. Forged for Fire.

These 28cm s are foundry seconds too good to melt down. Each one is hand finished in New Zealand and comes with the Ironclad Three Generation Guarantee cast into the iron.
Structurally flawless, what makes these pans “Almost Perfect" are minor cosmetic imperfections — like an overly smoothed logo or speckles in the surface of the iron. Basically, character.

The best bit? If you’re unhappy with your Almost Perfect purchase, we’ll give you an absolutely perfect refund.

This release features a 38mm wall height, down from 45mm. That 7mm difference creates a lighter pan with a more open cooking surface. Perfect for cooking with fire.
Speaking of fire
This Ironclad design is the tool of choice of Chef Lennox Hastie. Author, fire whisperer, and Chef’s Table icon.

Lennox was so impressed he became a co-owner of Ironclad. He is best known for his Sydney restaurant Firedoor , where every dish is cooked over open flame. He believes the best tools aren’t flawless. They are forged through use.

Each Almost Perfect pan is unseasoned. But seasoning is simple. Just wash, oil, and put it straight into the fire. Or, if you don’t live outdoors, put it in the oven on hot for a couple of hours. Over time this beauty will darken to a rich deep black and become the single most non-stick pan in the kitchen. Or cave. Depending on your living situation.
Cook well.
