About FACET

A facet is one small, flat face of a cut surface. Our pans carry hundreds of them: a fine honeycomb texture across the cooking surface. Each facet catches the light at its own angle, so a pan left on the counter in the morning throws the window back in small points of light.

We looked for shapes that do one job clearly: walls that slope so a spatula gets under an egg, high walls that hold a sauce, two loop handles for a pan that goes to the table, a flat base for a wok, a very low rim for a crêpe. Then the things that go around them: a metal board for wet work and a walnut one for the knife, bowls that nest, wood that is kind to the pans, a sharpener for the knife and a scrubber for the end of the evening.

Each piece comes in one version, at one price. The Pan Trio, the Mixing Bowls and the Wood Utensils are sold as one product each, the way the maker makes them. The only choice on the site is the size of the Glass Lid, so it fits the pan you own.

We describe what you can see and use: the shapes, the finishes, how to cook with each piece and how to look after it. Materials are given as the maker describes them, and our Materials & Chemicals page lists what we are still confirming in writing. Cooktops, oven and dishwasher use, weights, capacities and the chemical declaration appear only once the maker confirms them in writing.

Shipping and import duties are included in every price. Orders ship with tracking to the 50 US states and Washington, D.C.: allow about 8 to 15 business days from order confirmation. Unused items can come back within 30 days of delivery; anything used for cooking or food, and opened Coil Scrubbers, come back only if defective, damaged or wrong. The details are on our shipping and returns pages.
