YOSUKATA Coating-Free Carbon Steel Pan - Durable 30 cm Frying Pan - Pans for Cooking Healthy and Delicious Meals - Carbon Steel Pan with Removable Heat-Resistant Wooden Handle

The media could not be loaded. I seasoned the pan a few times before use. This was my first experience cooking with it and it did great! I've used it a few times since and it's perfect. Going to look after it well and hope it serves me for years to come 😄

Bends when heated, always sticks

All great, quality and everything as well. The only trick is themperature during frying should be higher than regular pan so some food types are a bit tricky to fry...

Amazing

A little sceptical but if you use over and over it works for you but keep oiled and store oiled and read instructions as if you want it to last keep it maintained to last longerOn the heavy side but sturdy ! Quality product

I'm sick of the scratches on non-sticky pans and have decided to shift to sth more natural. I have cast iron pans - but they are slower to heat up and heavy for everyday use. This 8" steel pan with thin side suits my need in every angle - natural, light, easy to clean up. After rounds of use, I have successfully trained it into a non-sticky steel iron pan. Tricks below - you are welcome!1. Steel iron pan is much faster to heat up as well as to cool down than non-sticky pans. Adjust your timer and dimmer to make sure things are not over cooked.2. Before use, I seasoned the pan twice. After every use, I only use warm water to clean it up. NO SOAP. Any remaining oil will over the time will form a layer of protection over the pan towards its non-sticky path. After cleaning, I would always use low heat to dry the pan thoroughly.3. For the first couple of uses, put a bit more oil. You may down size the amount of oil after the pan becomes non-sticky.4. Always warm up the pan first, and then warm up the oil, and put in the food at last after the entire pan is well heated. Otherwise, the food will quickly cool down the pan and makes everything sticky and messy.5. After everything are heated in order, reduce the heat to maintain less smoke and a healthier cooking process.This pan is super for fry - the eggs are so amazing!!

I like cast iron. My go to pans are cast iron but I was looking for something that was lighter weight and would be good for camping (i.e. easy to pack, lightweight). I wanted something made in the USA so I bought the lodge carbon steel pan - it arrived and we all agreed that it was as heavy as our 8” cast iron and the handle was awkward and would need a handle cover to avoid heat. So, I returned the Lodge and chose this 7.9” pan. It’s not made in the USA, but it has performed exceptionally well and we are super happy with this purchase. The light anti rust coating was easily removed with soap, water and a light scrubbing.You can easily remove the handle with an allen wrench (not included) which is handy if you want to season it on the grill.The handle feels good in your hand and never gets hot. After the initial seasoning on the grill we started using it as a daily pan. It seasoned easily and has become a favorite for eggs. It’s also appreciated over its lighter weight than cast iron.As for camping this has been great, you can remove the handle and store it easily and it’s not as heavy as cast iron. You can remove the handle or wrap it in foil if you use it over the fire (a possible drawback) another possible drawback is keeping track of the the allen wrench (not included)- I will be replacing mine with a long wingnut. It was even small/light enough to take bike camping. Overall, a quality pan, perfect thickness and seasons easily. I may go ahead and get the 10” too.

I have had this for a while now and enjoy using it

A great companion to the wok they offer. Cast iron is still my preference, but these pans are solid, heat evenly, and are easy to clean.
