My husband, for some reason I don't yet know, wonders if any of you own or have cooked with a carbon steel pan. I think he means to buy one and I think he's thinking of a frying pan. Anybody have any experience with CARBON STEEL? Thanks so much in advance if you would care to share about it.  |

Our cooktop is induction so the top is glass. I sear steaks, duck breasts, make frittatas, last night, I made a socca and turned it into a bbq chicken pizza, pan fry potatoes..... After seasoning it, it becomes nearly non-stick so any time I need a non-stick pan,it's my first choice. I've made tofu stir fry in it and I've made the ATK pizza in it. I bought the one recommended by ATK, I think it is the www.cooksillustrated.com/equipment_reviews/1623-12-inch-carbon-steel-skilletsat the time, they recommended 11-3/4 or some such size, which is what I got but 12" is probably what I'd get. They were pricey for a while till after the episode ran but think they are more reasonable. If I had more kitchen space (hahahaahahahahahahahahahah), I'd get a carbon steel wok. |
