Treat It Right, and It'll Treat You Right! Bought this years back to never have to use nonstick cookware again. I found I used it for more than eggs as I got used to working with it. If you're using this for meat searing and beyond, always avoid acids (even when de-glazing) and know that you may get to a point where it needs to be re-seasoned. Look up a guy named Uncle Scott on YouTube; he offers a decent primer on re-seasoning and how to cook various things in CS pans you'll appreciate. These are the workhorse pans everyone needs. Sure you may find them heavy, but not as heavy as cast iron. Take care of them, and they'll handle just about whatever you throw at them. And if you manage to gunk them up, its fixable!

11 inch Carbone Plus Frying Pan Truly a quality product - heavy steel pan body - not your cheaper thinner models. I have not been able to achieve the more uniform darker color yet - but the meats we have fried and bacon and eggs we have cooked have not stuck to the metal surface. Would buy another one! John

Great pan, but not 100% non stick after seasoning I really like the pan. Seasoned it well according to instructions, but food still sticks occasionally.

Very Heavy, Good Quality Thick and heavy duty pans. As heavy as cast iron. I've just got them and still in the early stages of seasoning them. Follow the instructions carefully and these should be a good pan for indoor or outdoor cooking. My first use after seasoning was for fried eggs and they slid out easily. You need to use oil with these every time you cook, And a generous amount otherwise food sticks ( my chicken breast did). Never wash, just use water and a wooden utensil or green scrub sponge to scrub. If food is stuck on, slowly add water and let sit on stove to soften. Then scrub, wipe, rinse, dry, and re-oil, heat if necessary. Dry and put away.

Home cook Excellent product.Use every day and do enjoy it. Excellent price and fantastic service.

Great Pan, Great Deal 5 Stars !! I wanted a carbon steel pan for the usual purposes, and was reading a lot on the De Buyer pans. I discovered that the Carbone Plus was the same pan, slightly different handle, but not coated with beeswax. I like the handle on the CP better, because it does not have the silicone insert, and is coated with a very durable substance. The pan is heavy, thick, will not warp if exposed to high heat. Seasoning as instructed in a De Buyer youtube vid was a breeze. I bought this and a slightly smaller pan for a few bucks more than a mineral b would've cost me by itself, and the price of the two pans allowed for free shipping. Shipping was lightning fast, and the packing was first rate. I'd say buy from Kerekes, Bake Deco with confidence.

searing central! after seasoning with sesame oil, i seared a porterhouse steak. 2-1/2 min. on each side and 14 min. in 410 degree finishing oven. perfection! performed as well as my griswold iron skillets! thank you de buyer and bakedeco!

Excellent a little heavy, but this is a good quality product. Highly recommended.

Should have done this a long time ago. Got annoyed with replacing my non-stick pans every three years. After building an initial seasoning on this heavy steel pan, I planned to use for meats for a while before risking eggs or something with a high stick risk. Before I had a chance my kid was making eggs, and they were sliding all over the pan-- better than any non-stick I've had.

Eggs glide off like Non-Stick Love the pan. It was so easy to season. I got it mainly for cooking eggs and it has performed so well since the first time. Almost non-stick. I am hoping it will get better with more use.

Delivery was timely & perfectly packed.

Exceptional Steel Fry Pan Very heavy duty plain steel fry pan. Heat distributes evenly and does not cool down like many other pans when food is added. Seasoning is required and special care is needed for these pans, but they are superb.

Awesome Couldn't be more pleased . Will be buying more.

Very pleased Exactly what I wanted

GO TO WORK HORSE HAVE BOUGHT A COUPLE OF THESE-BREAK IN AS RECOMMENDED AND YOU'LL BE THRILLED WITH RESULTS PUTS THE "TEFLON" TYPE TO SHAME.HEAVY,BALANCED--A BEAUT!

This pan is awsome! I love this pan; it's one the best I've ever had. It's not too heavy and it's not too light. I'm still developing the seasoning, but so far it's great.

Awesome possitivly the best fry pan i've ever owned.

heavy,responsive,well seasoned- quickly a fav

Pan for a lifetime of service These pans are simply fantastic. Lighter than cast iron and stable on the cook top. Initial seasoning was easy but because of the smooth surface is also easier to scratch than an newly seasoned cast iron pan. Continue to fry in this pan and the carbon will build up just fine.

I like this pan so much I plan to purchase another one to replace my old anodized aluminum pans of the same size.

Best Pan Ever! After a good seasoning, this pan cooks up eggs like a dream. Better than any non-stick pan I have ever used.

Great value Simply the best natural metal pan I have used in 40 years of professional culinary arts.
I have used many brands but the de Boyer (pronounced boy yea people) is hands down superior. Seen reviews of the handle getting hot. The handle is not rolled metal but solid. I love that. Will be getting more of these for sure.

Finally a great pan! Tried to make good omelets for years (age 71) and this pan, once seasoned is the answer. Less sticking than non-stick cookware. I finally can make the perfect omelet. No one cleans this pan but me with water and a coarse brush.

Forget Nonstick Forever! Love what you can do with nonstick? You'll do it better with deBuyer carbon steel!

Season this pan and forever have a sweet surface from which eggs will easily slide--and which cleans up in a snap.

Even-heating, solidly-built forever kinds of cookware like this will solve the conundrum of buying yet another teflon-coated pan. Why buy one, just to watch it peel over time and wind up in a landfill? Treat this right, and you'll have it forever.

And it's made from recycled steel, so what's not to like?

Amazing pans! I've been looking at the debuyer pans and decided to get a set of these. I was VERY pleased with the help I recited from customer service as I needed to correct my order after it was placed which was no problem. I received the pans the next day. The quality is excellent and pans are truly commercial quality. They are heavy and just slightly lighter than comparably sized cast iron. The heat retention and even cooking is amazing.

I used the following method to season which worked really well with eggs sliding out of the pan: use flaxseed oil and just a few drops. I rubbed all over surface with my fingers and then wiped with a paper towel.

I heated on high until it smoked and turned brown. The finish is smooth, slick and not gummy. Highly recommend these pans and this vendor.

Serious restaurant workhorse Great pan for searing, omelette, etc. seasons quickly for a non stick surface. Omelette slide right on to the plate.

Steel I owned a restaurant and these things were standard issue for about $10 thirty years ago. I have a commercial kitchen now at home. I threw out all the teflon and replaced them with this old school non-stick for health reasons. Love all the pans (we bought 6) and found order, shipping, and customer service to be the BEST...far exceeding my expectations. I would DEFINITELY recommend placing your business here @ Kerekes. The deBuyer pans were a bit more than the johnson / paderno / etc. brands, but these just "feel right" and for personal use, we buy the best! This is a good company doing good work!

Massive! This is a very well made and heavy pan. Honestly, it is larger than I expected and weighs almost as much as cast iron. But it holds heat extremely well and has nicely sloped sides and an excellent handle. I got it seasoned pretty well but have screwed it up since. I dread re-starting the whole process and have been trying to repair the finish instead, with mixed results.

de Buyer Steel Frying Pan, 11 inch Purchased this fry pan to replace my old non-stick skillet.The quality of this de-buyer carbon steel fry pan is excellent and will last a life time just like my cast iron skillet but not as heavy. very impressed so far with it's performance. Be sure to read the instruction's the factory protected coating need's to be removed before the seasoning process can take place.
