Tramontina 10 in Carbon Steel Fry Pan

I had heard what great benefits not only for cooking but also for your health that carbon steel can deliver, but was hesitant to purchase knowing that there's some care in the upkeep of this pan. I decided to try this one mainly because I have this same brand of stainless steel set pots and pans at home. I'm very glad that I decided to choose this particular pan overall. The seasoning process is simple to follow and the instructions that come with the pan are also easy to follow along. We've been using this pan for a couple of weeks now and have had no issues, no sticking, working as it should. I do recommend for the price point!. This is a great starter carbon steel pan I feel and it will be with me many years of cooking! I know there are more expensive pans out there, but at this point, I really don't see what the need would be to purchase another one.

Best value for a Carbon Steel skillet. No grumbles, but some advice: When you unpack it, you MUST CLEAN IT TO REMOVE WAXY COATING, BEFORE you start seasoning it. I washed mine with dish soap, pretty well, but not perfectly. As I've started seasoning it, the oil gets splotchy, not smooth. My recommendation is to use a cleansing agent like Barkeepers Friend. It is a better solvent for this coating. Then, proceed with your seasoning. Good shape, long enough handle, deep enough for sauces and for reduction in oil splattering.
