Made in Cookware - Flavored 12" Blue Carbon Steel Fry Pan - (like cast iron, but better) - Professional Cookware - Made in Sweden - Induction Ready

Gift for someone and they are raving about it.

Great pan comes seasoned and the seasoning works great. IMO, everything seared in carbon steel cookware tastes better than non stick. Pan heats quickly and maintains heat well but not as well as cast iron.

Grillades, cuisson, très bonne poile a l'ancienne.

This is a great pan! Love the weight and size personally, but may be a tad heavy for a small person. Needs some cooking and post cooking washing care as it deserves. Acid dishes set back the 'base layer' you build - so try to avoid lemon in your dishes (whilst in the pan) and other cooking with other acidic additives. Give it the care it deserves. Looking forward to many years together ahead. As expected, delivered efficiently.

I don't believe this is a high quality product as they state in the listing. The seasoning layer breaks down first time use and I tried to re-season it multiple times, the breaks grow larger and larger. I thought this should be like a cast iron which has no layering but apparently it does have the surface coating and it doesn't look good when it breaks. Don't waste your time when you can get a cast iron below $50. Yes it is lighter but the quality is just not there
