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.

  • 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.

Cleaning with soap should actually not be done often. Think Chinese restaurants and their woks. They heat the wok and brush the grime out that has burned or steamed off. I use chainmail, but bamboo probably would work better as a finer abrasive.
If I must use soap, I use Dr. Bonner's Castile Soap (which is made of fats and oils and no perfume).
Chinese restaurants don't season their woks like people season their works for home use. They also have 100,000K+ BTU burners.

If your seasoning is getting broken down by cleaning it with soap after cooking, it's not seasoning, it's burnt food.

Not advising on cleaning off the seasoning but the burnt bits and buildup. I don't use soap on mine. Just water in a hot pan (just drain and use a paper towel to wipe out the grease before and beware of the steam) over the sink (I lean mine on the middle divider, but beware of scratches or wearing down the stone for stone sinks).

BTW, Chinese restaurants do the same to clean the woks (steam) ... not for removal of seasoning.

SIDENOTE: $35 is expensive for this pan IMO. I bought mine for $20.xx (4/2025). I bought the 12" for $28.xx (12/2024).

Just so everyone is aware. I purchased these pans and they coat it with some layer of protective covering that starts cooking off the first few times (maybe silicone). The pan is not german quality. It's made in china and it does warp a little due to thin metal.

I have 2 of them (smaller 8" and larger 12"). They are not my "go to" pans anymore.
  1. Matfer Bourgeat pans are HEAVY like cast iron pans.
  2. Even though it seems solid, the welds scare me bc a poster showed the weld failing. I cannot imagine a Matfer Bourgeat pan dropping on my bare foot.
  3. These thinner pans work fine and heat up in less time than Matfer Bourgeat pans.
  4. There was a recall of Matfer Bourgeat pans for arsenic and chromium.

Most rust prone metals are coated with packing grease , and in food cooking things with beeswax.

You have to actively remove these protectants.

Would this be a good pan for using in my new Gozney dome XL. I was looking for something besides the extremely heavy cast iron pans

I've owned this pan for a couple years and it is my favorite. I've used lots of cast iron and carbon steel pans. You need to understand the pros and cons of a pan like this. Thinness for me is a pro since I have a gas range and prefer lighter weight for cleaning and handling over heavy cast iron. This pan will not warp on gas. Its base is actually much thicker than the edges which is a smart engineering decision to reduce weight. It is as non stick as a carbon steel pan will get.

When possible, look for nitrided carbon steel. It holds up much better

Sounds like it earns its spot in the kitchen.

I have one of these and loved it while it was in good condition but about 4 months or more into it, I think it's either rusted or the coating has come off of it (is that a thing?) or something idk, but it's scratched, discolored and no longer non stick.

Is there a way to fix it like re seasoning it or no?

I use Barkeeper's Friend and a Scrub Daddy scrubber to reclaim CS pans, get them back to OG finish, bottom AND sides, then proceed to re-season in layers. 4-5 sessions of heating past smoke point (Avacado Oil is my preference), cool down, re-apply, reheat, etc. And I'm talking a VERY THIN film of oil. Spread from a paper towel, use a fresh paper towel to remove any oil residue, and you have the right amount of oil film left for a season session.

Do you have to season it again at a later date though?
the beauty of carbon steel is it seasons itself the more you cook. as long you don't wash off all the seasoning afterwards. i usually scrape off the big debris and wash off the rest with hot water. possibly rub a dab of oil on it afterwards.

ah, so you don't wash this pan with soap or it removes the seasoning?

Not completely. But it will have more of a tendency to do so. But once you build the seasoning more and more, you can probably wash with soap. I just choose not to.
