Skillet Pan 26 cm (10 1/4-inch, Black Carbon Steel, Pre-Seasoned)

Overall good

Not difficult to season. The colour of
the pan is not evenly spread across the pan. But manage to get it to non stick.

The handle could be improved to have a place where we could hang the pan.

Great pan

This is great for camping! Nice and sturdy! Love that the handle comes off! Makes it easy to fit into camping totes!! My fiends bought 2 of these!

Great pan, great value

Use this pan properly, and you will find no flaws with this exceptional value. Any complaint present in any review basically comes down to a misunderstanding of what they have purchased.

- If you are comfortable using and maintaining cast iron, you'll have zero problems with this pan.
- If you like cooking with stainless steel, you'll have zero problems with this pan.
- If you understand the concept of seasoning new un-coated cookware, again zero problems for you.
- If you have used higher priced carbon steel before, like De Buyer, Matfer, etc. you'll love this pan.
- If you have ever cooked in a professional capacity, you'll love this pan. And you won't complain about not being able to go straight from the burner to the oven, because you clearly saw the wooden handle in the picture. Even if you torch the handle over an open flame, a spare comes in the box.

However, if you expect this pan to be as light as the $11 aluminum non-stick at the local supermarket, you'll be disappointed. It's a quality pan made with heavy gauge carbon steel. It's not going to feel like an aluminum pan. If you have never used anything but coated non-stick cookware before, you should expect there to be a bit of a learning curve. Once you figure it out, this will be your favorite pan.

Season this thing properly and cook anything you want in it. Maintain it properly and you'll never need to replace it.
