Hello, I’m Paul Angiolillo. My journey in blacksmithing started over a decade ago as a Farrier, forging horseshoes by hand. Half of shoeing a horse is about precision and strength, and I quickly discovered a passion for forging metal with my own hands. There’s no substitute for skill in this trade; it’s something you earn, not something you buy.
Paul Angiolillo
Independent Ironware was born from this passion. I wanted to take the skills I honed at the forge and bring them into a craft that could reach more people, creating handcrafted cookware built to last.
Each piece is built with intention and quality. Built for a lifetime.

Naturally non-stick
Absolutely no chemicals. Each pan is seasoned with organic coconut oil, with the proper combination of heat and a thin layer of oil, a natural non stick surface is achieved. It’s a beautiful thing.
This pan is unlike anything else. It is gorgeous, built to last, and made me want to throw out my cast iron. I can't wait to purchase more!

Wonderful cookware. Not only does it look beautiful but it retains and focuses heat better than any other pan I have tried. The nonstick properties of the pan after seasoning is superior to traditional chemically coated non stick pans too!

If I could give more stars I would!! The spatulas are very well crafted and perfect for cooking on the grill! I will definately be buying more products from Paul at Independent Ironware!!

They look beautiful! I've cooked with carbon steel before and I've wanted a set for a long time. When we saw them at the Cowboy Christmas I knew we had to get some. These will take their rightful place as the main pans in our kitchen. Thanks

The burger press is SOLID! It looks great, nice weight, and having my last name pressed on top will be something my son's can enjoy long after I'm finished using it!

The 12.5" Carbon Steel Fry Pan is a great addition to our kitchen - well crafted by Paul at Independent Ironware. This is our one pan that we're happy to keep outside the cabinets. Thanks Paul!

I gave this roaster to my dad for his birthday. A man of few words, and not one to really text about too much sent me this: “ All seasoned and ready to go! These are really quite incredible. Thank you very much! Love dad. ❤️” I didn't know he knew how to use the heart emoji!

This is my 3rd piece of Independent Ironware. I love using this when I have a big crowd for breakfast. The pancakes and eggs are perfect on this pan.

I've been making crêpes all my life on a regular pan. For the most part, they have worked fine. This made the experience so much better. The large flat level pan after seasoning made it fully nonstick and cooked each one evenly. If you love crêpes you’ll love this pan.
Rod SzladekApril 22, 2024
High quality goods right here. The perfect size pan for eggs in AM. The nonstick seasoning sets up quickly and outperforms my nonstick pans without the gross chemicals. Its the only pan that lives on my stove since it looks as good as it cooks
Sam BrownFebruary 25, 2024
This was a gift for my MIL. She absolutely loves it. Is her new "go to" pan. Looking forward to purchasing one for myself now.
Brian PanskyJanuary 24, 2024
I had the perfect experience from start to finish. Great customer service, quality craftsmanship, amazing product. Highly recommended. Not only that, but my smash burger loving husband was overjoyed with his unique gift!

Incredible pan! way lighter than you'd think, super non stick, and just beautiful. I leave it out on the stove to show off!
Pierre BergmanNovember 16, 2023
