America's Test Kitchen

This affordable pan had it all: thick, solid construction; a smooth interior with no handle rivets to bump the spatula or trap food; an ergonomically angled handle; and sides flared just right for easy access but high enough to contain splashes. Steaks formed a deeply crisp crust, tarte Tatin caramelized beautifully and released neatly, and fried eggs just slipped around in the pan.

 I had to scour with a soft scrub sponge and re-season to get it back to useful. Some of the work is on my end, finding the right flame level and amount of oil to get the results I want without searing things to the bottom. But this tool requires a lot of maintenance. It's equivalent to taking care of a cast iron pan: wipe / scrape / rinse with water to clean, heat dry it, give it a light oil coat when its dry

 1 star removed for the copious unnecessary scratches and toolmarks on the pan (all around the inner rim, toolmark on the cooking surface, some marks around the lip), and the less-than-encouraging set of vague directions for seasoning.

 The Matfer seasoning recipe is a little strange, involving potato peelings and a ton of salt. Some people seem to have achieved success using other seasoning methods more in line with traditional cast iron seasoning. I used the Matfer method and found the potato peels and salt were good for being able to keep coverage all the way up the lip of the pan, in addition to whatever chemistry reasons Matfer has for prescribing them.  The end result: A lightly bronzed pan with no structural warp that I could detect (I checked level on our quartz counter)

Good, but fussy

 Anyway, with the 8 5/8", I used avocado oil about six times to try to pass the egg test, without success. On the 7th try, I had to take a phone call and forgot it was on the burner..

 Why the company ships pans that require brass wire brushes and a sink full of boiling water is a mystery to me. Since De Buyer also does that, and presumably Monfiel also, it must be how carbon steel pans have to be protected for international shipping. Anyway, with the 8 5/8", I used avocado oil about six times to try to pass the egg test, without success. On the 7th try, I had to take a phone call and forgot it was on the burner

14 1/8" too big for most burners...  plus the shipping wax/oil coating is insane to get off!

 Its heavy, just not as heavy as cast iron. I dont flip foods in it like I do my non-stick and my All Clad because they are light. I dont make gravies, or tomato sauces, chili, stews or roasts in my carbon steel. I could, but I go for cast iron or stainless as the better match, but out of 50 meals or dishes, based on how and what I cook, 30 of them would be in carbon steel, 10 in stainless, 8 cast iron, 2 in nonstick

  SUMMARY - This is my go to pan because it matches me. I never put it up as it always on my stove. Its heavy, just not as heavy as cast iron. I dont flip foods in it like I do my non-stick and my All Clad because they are light

 Cast iron is practically indestructible on the stove or on a fire.  VERSATILITY - 3 stars - I use this pan the most because its meets my cooking trends and personality, however I believes its the least versatile or tied for last with the non-stick. I find my ALL Clad stainless the most versatile and if I could have only one pan, a 12 in All Clad stainless even though I use mine less than this carbon steel pan.  VALUE - 4 stars - a really good pan at a logical and decent price

My go to pan....but not the most versatile

 I searched for many hours on the best way to season these kinds of pans and found a great technique. It turns out the Chinese have been using carbon steel woks forever and they know how to season them. You have to heat the pan up until it turns blue all over. Rest it on it’s side and really get it hot

 It’s not much lighter than a cast iron pan. Your forearms are going to get jacked using this thing so be prepared for a workout. If you’re looking for something to replace your Teflon pan, this isn’t exactly a direct substitution. The difference in weight is very noticeable and it is not as non-stick

 You have to use oil when you cook on these just like a cast iron pan. Having said that, you also don’t have to worry about over heating or scratching the surface.  I was worried about the handle getting hot. Even when I was heating the pan on high heat, the handle stayed cool

 You have to heat the pan up until it turns blue all over. Rest it on it’s side and really get it hot. Once it’s all blue and purple take a terry cloth that has some oil on it. Use a high temperature oil, not flaxseed

  I should note that I did this on a gas range. Don’t even bother doing this on an electric or induction cooktop. It just won’t work. You’re better off getting a small gas or propane camping stove and using that to season a pan like this

How to clean and season

  So this pan takes up a lot of room for the relatively small cooking area if offers. Additionally, the handle is extremely long. So much so that even this smaller size pan will not fit in my oven. Not only is the handle long, but it is heavy and tends to weight down one side of the pan so it tilts on the burner and drains the fluid ingredients to one side and creates uneven cooking because the ingredients do not stay centered (unless the pan is full) and because one side of the pan is not touching the burner as well as the other

 Does this pan work like coated pans? No. But it's better then traditional iron pans, and even if you get lazy on your seasoning (employing the non stick process) it is still quite forgiving and easy to clean.  This pan has the potential to be great. Right now it's a solid 3

 So much so that even this smaller size pan will not fit in my oven. Not only is the handle long, but it is heavy and tends to weight down one side of the pan so it tilts on the burner and drains the fluid ingredients to one side and creates uneven cooking because the ingredients do not stay centered (unless the pan is full) and because one side of the pan is not touching the burner as well as the other.  Additionally, the single layer, iron bottom does not distribute heat well, adding to the uneven cooking surface issues. This pan would benefit greatly from an added layer of copper or some other heat distributing layer like most other high quality pans use

First off, after reading the many reviews about how this pan is not as big as advertised I thought I would need the 17" to get the size I wanted. Big mistake. The outer diameter on that unit is huge. It took up half my stove top space overlapping two burners

Good Pan that could easily be better

 There is a small scratch on the surface but its steel and will buff out after seasoning, not an issue. The edges are sharp and can cut you if not careful, I recommend going-over it lightly with some fine-grade sandpaper to buff out the burrs and remove that hazard. The handle is long and seems comfortable, it has nothing but a wax-coating and can safely be used in the oven.  It appears to be good quality, I have no complaints so far, just that its too big for my needs

 Again, I'm returning it and haven't used it as it appears too large for my needs (1-2 people, occasionally 3-4) however if you do regularly cook for lots of people, this may be the pan for you.  #Update #1 I got the 10 1/4 in size, posted a picture next to the 11 7/8 for comparison. Appears to hold 2, maybe 3 eggs most. Weight is much more reasonable and balanced, seems like a great mid-size pan but may be slightly too small for my needs 😬, still better than the 11 7/8

Seems fine

 I decided to do the ever so popular egg test with a typical amount I would use on my 18/10 pan. Let first say I gradually brought temperature up in a 5 minute range. Got it to about 5 on stove and the butter was bubbling ready for the egg. I had a good initial sizzle and I have to say the egg was slipping all over very easily

 I have seen this method done and it gives it great results. The biggest problem I had with this pan is the cleaning. Be prepared to clean this pan vigorously before seasoning. The seasoning will not adhere properly if the wax coating is not removed from factory

Good pan. Good value for the size

 for French toast, but I thought it was time to try out carbon steel. Now, seasoning a carbon steel pan is a little different than a cast iron pan. It takes a little more patience, and finesse. The attached photo is my pan after a half dozen or so uses

 I acquired a Lodge 10.5" cast iron griddle a year ago, and I really like it, esp. for French toast, but I thought it was time to try out carbon steel. Now, seasoning a carbon steel pan is a little different than a cast iron pan

 One thing I have learned is to avoid high temps, I try to keep the surface between 300° and 325° when browning, any higher, and food seems to stick, esp. high moisture foods.

 With a significant handle. I've had it about 5 weeks now, and I'm finally getting the hang of it. I got tired of buying a new frying pan every year. The aluminum hard anodized are great, until they wear, and they do wear, even though I only use plastic utensils, and a non-stick safe scotch brite pad to clean them

Better than Teflon or Anodized pans

 Bake for one hour at 475. Let it cool completely, and repeat the process two or three times (I did it three times).

  To season, I rubbed the pan (not the handle) down with canola oil. Add a coat to get the pan shiny, then wipe it down with a dry paper town as dry as you can get it. Bake for one hour at 475. Let it cool completely, and repeat the process two or three times (I did it three times)

 I heated the skillet with hot water from the tap, then wiped it down with the alcohol and the coating came off after two or three passes. You can tell its gone when you run your fingers down the middle it will stick and make a rubbing noise.  To season, I rubbed the pan (not the handle) down with canola oil. Add a coat to get the pan shiny, then wipe it down with a dry paper town as dry as you can get it

be sure to prep / season properly

I'm looking to get rid of all my non-stick pans and get some pans that will be non-stick and last forever.  When I got the pan the cooking surface seemed a little small for the size of the pan but I was actually looking for a small carbon steel pan to experiment with and do everyday things like eggs and single servings. I spent a lot of time on the internet learning about carbon steel and realized that there was a learning curve and a little effort involved. It's a little heavier than the non-stick pan I used but I'm learning that's a good thing

Can't argue with reputation and quality!
