I'm not disagreeing that this is a thing, but I personally have a spidey-sense for some vaguely impressive-sounding brand name being licensed into oblivion to sell me complete garbage at a markup - if that name ever even existed in the first place.

"Made in China" is part of this heuristic, but it's not China's fault - it's whoever is profiting off slashing that last penny of manufacturing and QC costs. Which is generally an American corporation that laid off their workforce, cancelled their pension plan, and gave their CEO a huge golden parachute post-1999, but I suppose it would be racist to not let Europe play along too. Jack Welch who?

In any event, stamping carbon steel is not a huge technological hurdle, coming from the people who brought you the wok.

I'm gonna get downvoted to hell but it's purely just racism/nationalism. People will complain about Chinese steel and this and that but this is a 150 year old company with a reputation to uphold and they have the final ownership over the quality.

Someone on SD will always find an excuse to pop into a thread to whisper "...China" and it's almost never relevant, other than the fact that you're saving money.

Edit: misspelling

Coming from a cast iron pan I have made this my primary pan for the last 4 years. It has most of the advantages of cast iron at significantly lower weight.

Good price on a well regarded German brand - but, this one is made in China. Still a good price.
why does it matter where it's made for this? stamped steel does not seem like advanced manufacturing technology..

Just go to Home Goods or Marshalls and find something similar for $5 to $10 less.

Reasonable take, and that does happen, but so often reasonable concerns like that are abused to inject ignorance into a conversation.

If they show as much thought as you do, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, if they just say "made in China" with no additional explanation, no way.

Quote from FairScene6701 :
It comes with a reasonable factory seasoning. You can use soap with it (and you can on cast iron too).
Yep, biggest misconception
As long as you're not letting it soak or really scrubbing it

Bought the small and large a few months ago for cheaper. They are great. Washed them and seasoned them fresh using the "Uncle Scott's Kitchen" method (great YouTube resource on carbon steel cookware). They are thinner which is good and bad, heats up quicker. I've had no sticking issues and they clean up easily with no soap.

I have a de buyer mineral B and these have been solid picks for the price. Not the exactly quality of the de buyer, but will last for many years.

I picked up the 10" and 8" versions of this pan from past Slickdeals. Cooking for one, I usually reach for the 8" when I'm making meat.

I do have cast iron but I find carbon steel easier to handle and faster to heat up.

This seems like a decent price for the 10" Merten & Storck carbon steel frying pan. Back in 2023 my total for this was about $14, but that was with one of those Discover card 30% discount when you use points and some Amazon coupon to help bring the total down from the $29 list price. This M&S carbon steel frying pan works well and I also bought one for our son since he also likes to cook sous vide and use a cast iron to give a good sear for his steaks.
As we get older, I prefer the lighter weight of carbon steel vs. cast iron. I have a pretty decent set of Lodge cast iron pans and dutch ovens that I like, but feel they are just too heavy. I find myself reaching for the carbon steel frying pans and the carbon steel wok for most of my frying/searing now and when I see a good carbon steel pan on sale, I've been buying them. Plus we're using the portable induction cooktops and when we remodel the kitchen, we'll put in a Bosch built in induction cooktop, so all the pots and pans that we get now are all induction ready.

Wait til they hear about the French brand being ranked #1/2 in major publications for carbon steel pans for the past couple decades being found to leach Arsenic and Chromium in elevated amounts in testing last year...

Quote from mvdafvka :
do these work similar to a cast iron? would I need to season it and not use soaps to chlean it?
yeah exactly, but you can use modern soap on cast iron pans. the old soap that used lye would strip the seasoning, but not anymore

what's modern soap? I normally use dawn for dishes. Wouldn't that be harsh?
