Pros

Works much better than using the regular vegetable oil seasoning that tends to smoke up the house. Took 3 times to have a great season on it. After two weeks, the flavors after two weeks resemble very closely the seasoning my wok imparts on dishes. Bu... Read More

After you're done cooking and have rinsed it out, dry thoroughly and place a tiny amount of high-smoke point oil on a paper towel and wipe the inside. Since then it continues to work fine.

Cs cookware has superior heat conductivity, durability, versatility, and affordability. Would recommend for anyone not interested in teflon or stainless steel cookware. I cook on a gas stove and this pan gets smoking hot.

In matfer pan for a two or three egg omelette is superb. This comically large pan is a game-changer in the kitchen. Even though it is steel, this size pan is still ight enough to toss ingredients by hand.

Cons

The bottom is concave even though this pan has never been heated on any type of burner. The pan was shipped with zero padding. There were also several dings on the cooking surface. Don't have this problem with smaller/thinner crepe pan.

The instructions provided are not sufficient. Terrible packaging. Pretty much unusable. And lastly, matfer's return policy is suspect and arbitrary.

I had seen that the new matfer bourgeat black carbon steel pans weren't coated that same as in the past but it appears that ama... Read More

Spent 30 minutes on the potato skin seasoning method.

The seasoning didn't take too well initially maybe because i didn't clean the pan well enough out of the box.

Competitiveness

It has seared supermarket steaks on up to waygu with ease.

Night and day difference as compared to a china made competitor that i should never had bought.
