Lodge Carbon Steel

>>8660768
I have a 10" debuyer carbon steel crepe pan that I use for eggs. Once seasoned, I just spray a little oil on and the eggs slide around on it the whole time it's cooking

I also have a 10 inch de buyer. I prefer it to my cast iron but there's not much in it really.

I've dropped it a few times and its absolutely fine though, i don't think its nearly as brittle.

I prefer cast iron's heat retention but carbon steel is not a bad choice. It's certainly lighter and more durable, but for a good sear and superior nonstick give me cast iron.

CS is great for everything else though.

get a de buyer

What kind of cuck uses spray oil? You should be using decent olive oil, or butter. Neither of which should be sprayed.

Good quality spray oils are retarded priced compared to the non-spray alternatives, and cheap spray oils are GARBAGE quality and taste like shit.

thats stamped steel and not cast, or something like that. its different from a cast iron skillet, but yea much lighter and still well performing

Have you never seen one of these before?

I've been thinking of getting one so I don't have to wash a brush every time I need to brush oil on raw meat, they're in any kitchen store that isn't complete dogshit

Why would you assume "spray a little oil" automatically means he's using pam cooking spray?

>cooking eggs with extra virgin olive oil
this sounds like something a housewife would do in the 1990s

I'm just going to assume you live in some flyover place, because they've been common for some years now

You probably have never seen a microplane either

I use carbon steel pans often but i didn't like my lodge pan when it came through.

They're thin compared to other brands and mine warped after a few uses. The seasoning was chipped in a few places and they were rusty before i got it.

I e-mailed lodge who in fairness sent a new pan out but this one was again chipped and rusting, and after cleaning and seasoning was only "okay" in use. The thin metal doesn't really spread the heat well. The finish is also rough like a cast iron pan, not smooth like most other carbon steels.

I have pans by de buyer that are excellent, but also by mauviel and volrath. Out of the the de buyer feels the best quality, but i use the volrath most often.

I'f you do get a de buyer go for the carbone line, the mineral b's are more expensive, with plastic on the handle and a beeswax coating.

28cm (10 inch roughly) is ideal for cooking for 2. Probably best with the 24 when cooking for one.

I got this one from Ikea, and it's absolutely rock solid.

Stainless steel, so probably the safest material to use too.
