Is this coated? What is meant by non-stick surface?

It's coated. These are thin, cheap, and any heat you would want a carbon steel pan for will flake the teflon.

It's carbon steel. Different oils are baked into the surface and when you use it with different oils it will only get better and better with each use. Carbon steel is basically the same as cast iron. It's just a lot lighter and easier to deal with.

Nope. It's coated. The other poster is correct. Reviews mention coating peeling off. 🙄

Be very cautious, a lot of products (like this one) take advantage of the lack of any legal definition of "carbon steel" and the fact that all steel technically has carbon in it.

If it says "carbon steel" and "non-stick" without specifically describing the seasoning process, it probably has a PTFE (or worse) coating. Actual CS will usually say "pre-seasoned", not "non-stick". Anyone actually familiar with CS (or CI) will know what that means.

If it says "ceramic non-stick", that's not going to poison you or the environment, but it won't be as durable as you would want. Yes, there are ceramic coated steel pans that claim to be carbon steel in their marketing material. I have a wok that has that ceramic layer. I hate it, but it is better than anything fluorine bond based. The person who have it to me was deceived by the "carbon steel" description.

For anyone who is taken in by the "PTFE is non-toxic" rhetoric: it has some very toxic breakdown products under high (like, easily reached while searing food high) temperatures. Not necessarily in high volume, but there is a cumulative effect with these fluorine-based (note: not fluorides, those tend to form stable salts that your body can easily flush) compounds.

Disclaimer: I am not a chemist or medical researcher. My field was solid state physics. But I do have a more conversant understanding of the chemistry here than a typical layperson.

Carbon steel and coating just don't go together.

10 years ago, I bought 2 thin carbon steel woks from World Market because cast iron was too heavy for my injured wrist: a large 11" uncoated for stir-fry and a small 8" coated for soup. Both were made from the same thin lightweight carbon steel and from the same manufacturer. I followed the instructions found on YouTube and seasoned the 11" uncoated carbon steel wok. It is still my main cooking pan today though I have been re-seasoning it every 2-3 years. The 8" coated carbon steel wok started feeling after 3 months even I only used it to boil soup or water. After 6 months, it peeled so badly that I had to stop using it and switch to a small stainless steel pod for soup.

If you want to buy a carbon steel pan, wait for an uncoated one. The original color is usually silver. After seasoning, it will become golden or dark brown.

I have two very nice carbon steel pans. This is not it. This is a brand carried in Walmart and other Mexican grocery stores that might have the majority of its composition be carbon steel but the coating essentially negates everything you would want from it. I suppose you could try burning off the coating, but I promise this pan will not be impressing anyone in a dozen uses.

Can this be used as a wok? Can a wok be used as this?
