I preheat it up to the temp I plan on using it to (medium to medium hot for me), plop half a tablespoon of butter in and fully coat the bottom (should melt and sizzle quickly and brown in 30 seconds or so). Crack 2 or 3 eggs into a small bowl and pour the eggs altogether gently into the preheated and oiled pan. Let it cook at least half way before trying to get the eggs to release from the bottom. A gentle shake or a gentle pry with a silicone spatula will do the trick. Once the eggs are released, slide them around every 20 seconds or so until done to your desire. Slide them onto the serving plate.

I have the 12" version and it is our go-to. Seriously underrated pan. Lighter than the more expensive options and very easy to clean due to the seasoning.

I bought this pan during a previous sale. It's "ok" at best. It heats unevenly and is not nearly as nonstick as my cast iron pans or my Blackstone griddle. It isn't horrible. I still use it, but I'd try something else.

Community Reviews

This pre-seasoned carbon steel skillet is valued for fast heating, light weight, and strong everyday performance once the seasoning is built up. It can handle eggs, burgers, and quick searing well, and the smoother surface is described as easier to clean than cast iron. The main cautions are that it needs proper preheating and seasoning, can stick or rust if neglected, and the thin steel may warp or bulge on some stoves, especially with too much heat too fast. A practical carbon steel pan if you are willing to learn its care.

Common Questions (5)

  • Thin carbon steel can warp if heated too fast, especially on induction or electric. Slow preheating on the lowest setting helps, and gas users report no warping; the 8-inch size is also reported as more stable than the 10-inch.

  • Use several thin coats of seasoning oil, then preheat the pan before adding oil or butter for cooking. Grapeseed or avocado oil are commonly used, and the pan tends to get more non-stick with repeated use, especially if you avoid too much heat too quickly.

    MrShrugglesrinskviperfourSpinControl

  • Yes, but many users prefer hot water, scraping, and a chainmail scrubber to preserve seasoning. Soap is usually reserved for heavier cleanup or after acidic foods, followed by drying and a light re-oil.

    viperfourSpinControlSpinControljeffboyardee

  • The 10-inch size is reported as too large for eggs, while the 8-inch fits 2 large or 3 eggs better. For eggs, preheat first, use enough butter or oil to coat the cooking surface, and wait until the eggs release before moving them.

    TheOldDudeTheOldDudealphawavePurpeana

  • The handle can get hot, so a silicone sleeve or towel is useful. Some gas-stove users report the handle staying cool, but heat transfer depends on the stove and how hard the pan is heated.

I have this one and it never leaves my stove top.

Make sure to not be afraid to remove anything stuck during cleaning, meaning get a metal spatula and scrape the s*** out of it if needed. It's a workhorse, dont br afraid. Coat with oil and warm it up afterwards.

Non-stick eggs every morning. Not an omurice style, but non stick enough for regular fry and scrambled.

This is not really a deal. The IKEA pan is better at this price retail.

Ordered, these are great pans. They heat fast (vs cast iron which I rarely use now) and are much easier to handle since they are so light. I cook several time a day, everyday using carbon steel and I used a Lodge 10" before I got the 8 and 12" M&S sizes when they went on sale last year. I Always look forward to cooking on these M&S even though the Lodge is well seasoned because the non-stickiness seems superior (the surface seems smoother so maybe less "micro-pitting" for food to get caught in) and cleans much easier vs the Lodge and wished I had gotten the 10" during the last sale. I did find the cooking area of the 12" version was not as flat as the 8" (most likely due to the size), so I'm hoping the 10" will be flat since its my goto for most everything (first cooks to reheating).
Everyone's recs above I'd agree with and I'd add that before you cook anything acidic (eg. tomato sauce based) you'll want it to be very well seasoned and afterwards wash (any time you cook acidic foods) with soap, rinse and re-season it. Otherwise, hot water rinse/dry + brush if needed.


edit: oof , I paid $18 and $27 for the 8 and 12", May 2025. Still gonna keep the order since its def a quality of life upgrade for me.

These pans are thin for carbon steel. It will warp if you use for induction. If you want a low priced carbon steel pan, I recommend Ikea VARDAGEN 9 or 11 inch pans. they are thick, retain heat. Always preheat your pan for the leidenfrost effect then cook to make it less stick.
Can confirm, induction and electric warped two different pans. A third one my MIL has is fine on gas. IKEA's much thicker carbon steel has not warped on either induction/electric so I suspect it has something to do with thin being more sensitive to heat distribution and concentration in the center.

This is a good pan and size; I've been using one since 2022 (it was $18 then) and it's help up perfectly.

This pan is my daily driver. Been using it for 2 years now. I've used it so much it's super non-stick with just a little bit of butter or olive oil. The only thing I don't use it for are potstickers, things with sugar based sauces, rice noodles, etc. Highly recommend this pan. I have a 12" Tramotina carbon steel pan and this one is much better. Wish I bought the matching 12" instead of the Tramotina. Edit: I use this on a gas stove and the handle for me does not get hot at all.

How long have you had it ? Also when cooking eggs for example, do you have to get it super hot first ? Or it works just like a regular poison nonstick
carbon steel is just like cooking on stainless steel and cast iron. You need to learn what heat works best with your stove to get it hot in order to cook. Can't just use it like a teflon pan. I've had mine for 3 years and use it every week.

I'm not a talented cooking person, but I actually bought this pan last year and absolutely could not get the 'non-stick' abilities to work. I think the very first time I tried something it was okay, but the pan very quickly picks up grime and stuff that gets baked onto it and never comes off. I had it for like 18-20 days before I sent it back, it just looked so filthy in that amount of time I shuddered to think what condition it would be in after a year. Maybe I don't know the right tricks but everything stuck like glue to that pan after first use.
yea you need more patience with it. If you ever give these pans a shot again it's going to take time but at this point 3 years in it cooks perfectly and has outlasted most pans I've had back when I got it

Agreed on patience. I own this pan and this is a user problem, not a problem with the pan. I went down the carbon steel rabbit hole after watching Dark Waters and reading about Teflon and ended up with a nice collection of Carbon Steel. If you truly appreciate it, Bluskillet, SB Forge, etc. are phenomenal, life-changing, BIFL cookware. But if you have a budget, I'd look at something like this, Debuyer, etc. Best bang for the buck is probably Darto, especially when they run their holiday sale. They're hand-forged in Argentina.

Some tips for all carbon steel:
Use Grapeseed oil to season, at least 3-4 coats.
Always use butter with eggs.
Never cook anything tomato-based.
Don't use soap, at all.
Don't be scared of seasoning getting in food.
Use less heat than you think, but let the pan warm longer than you think.

I've given carbon steel pans to most of my family members to help them get away from Teflon, and most of them are so frustrated they give up until I spend a weekend hanging out and showing them the way. It's a finicky thing and the difference between too much oil to season or not enough feels like splitting the atom, but if you figure it out your food will taste better and you'll be healthier for it.

I have one of these. Purchased last September for $30 from Amazon Resale in mint condition. I use it regularly for pan searing ground beef/turkey burgers. It heats up faster than cast iron, is lighter, easier to clean, and still gives a good sear to meat. Definitely recommend for that purpose. I still use a nonstick pan for eggs though.

Do you have to season it again at a later date though?

Is warping a common issue with these pans ?
