This pan is flawless, simple, elegant in that austere French way, and—when properly seasoned—easily outperforms my other pans, which includes a 5-ply stainless, and a disappointing Hexclad). It's heavy for its size, but I welcome the trade-off for having more consistent heat distribution and retention. Their product support is impressive: a robust Q&A, and you can subscribe to get technical tips and product information. They clearly want you to appreciate how to use the pan correctly and get the most out of it. I'm not a huge fan of the potato skin/salt/oil method of seasoning, preferring to barely coat the pan with oil and bake in 500dF oven for an hour, then repeat when cooled. Is this pan better than other cabin steel pans you'll see out there? Look at the quality of the weld on the handle, the thickness of the pan body, and the absence of any rivets on the business side of the pan. Hard to beat. Review: Best skillet I ever owned - Where has this pan been all my life? I followed the simple seasoning instructions, cleaned the pan as recommended, and have enjoyed non-stick cooking, many of the advantages of cast iron skillets, and easy care for almost a year now. I wish I had discovered it 30 years ago. I was tired of non-stick pans that put invisible chemicals in my food, which steadily deteriorated with every use, and which required replacement every few years. Properly cared for, this pan will last a lifetime with no loss of quality. It is slightly heavier than most non-stick pans of equal size, but far lighter than cast iron. A great professional skillet at a reasonable price. ## Features - VARIETY OF USES: Brings top-notch heat distribution and temperature control, excellent for searing meats and fish, stir-frying and caramelizing vegetables, and a wide variety of other dishes and techniques. Do not use with acidic ingredients (lemon juice, vinegar, tomato sauce, etc.) - UNCOATED NONSTICK MATERIAL: Made of a single piece of uncoated high-carbon steel, free of PTFE, PFOA, or any other chemical coatings. Season the pan according to factory instructions to achieve nonstick properties for years of use - DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: The steel handle is welded to pan's body for a strong and rivet-less construction, preventing the buildup of rust, grease, or burnt food. Its ergonomically angled design makes it ideal for easy sautéing, stirring, and flipping - HIGHLY COMPATIBLE & VERSATILE: Compatible with all hob types, including induction. With an ability to retain very high temperatures, black carbon steel excels over open fires, on outdoor grills, and in ovens, as well as on all varieties of traditional stove tops - MADE IN FRANCE: Ensures high standards for durability, performance, and hygiene for both commercial and residential use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AQKVUX0 | | Additional Features | Electric Stovetop Compatible, Gas Stovetop Compatible, Heavy Duty, Induction Stovetop Compatible, Oven Safe | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,797 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #20 in Woks & Stir-Fry Pans | | Brand | Matfer | | Brand Name | Matfer | | Capacity | 6 Quarts | | Coating Description | Uncoated, High-Carbon Steel | | Color | Gray | | Compatible Devices | Electric Coil, Gas, Smooth Surface Induction, Smooth Surface Non Induction | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 8,258 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03334490620088 | | Handle Material | Carbon Steel | | Has Nonstick Coating | Yes | | Included Components | Pan | | Is Oven Safe | Yes | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Type Name | Matfer Bourgeat Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan, 15 3/4" | | Manufacturer | Matfer Bourgeat | | Manufacturer Part Number | 062008 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Matfer Bourgeat provides a 1-Year warranty against any defects in material and workmanship.

The handle is ergonomic, the sides are perfectly sloped. It seasons beautifully and is now totally nonstick. If you’re struggling with it go the CarbonSteel subreddit and ask for help. I own a smaller one (7 or 8”) and the 11” and they both get used daily. I’ve even been giving them as house warming gifts. I love this pan so much I made a guide to carbon steel cooking. See below: Intro: Carbon steel (CS) is basically the same as cast-iron, just lighter. It is the same material (iron alloy with carbon added) - but instead of being poured into a cast during manufacturing it is "punched" out of a circular sheet of carbon steel. Getting started with your new CS pan: 1. Removing the manufacturer's coating You have to remove the thin clear (almost invisible) wax layer on the cooking surface that is placed by the manufacturer. Start by scrubbing the cooking surface with some rubbing alcohol. Then scrub the cooking surface with soap and hot water. The layer should now be gone and you're ready to "blue" and season. 2. "Bluing" your pan Before seasoning you want to "blue" your pan. This will make it more rust resistant and easier to season. You are going to super-heat your pan and this will create a blue colored oxide layer (tri-iron tetroxide)( Fe3O4) that helps prevent rust. Wipe off all the water on your pan. Place your pan on your stove on the highest heat. Watch the pan turn orange, and then blue from the inside out (usually 5-10 minutes). Keep the pan on the heat until the blue goes all the way up the sides of the pan and the whole pan is blue. You're now done "bluing" your pan and you're ready to season. Let your pan cool down for a few minutes before the next step. 3. Oven seasoning Seasoning is creating a layer of polymerized oil on your pan surface, which is basically a self-healing "non-stick" layer. It also prevents rust. You need to oven season this particular pan first. You will automatically season the cooking surface while cooking, but because you have a raw steel handle (not plastic) you need to oven season the handle and the under-surface of the pan to "seal" those areas from rust. In order to create the polymerized oil layer, the oil has to burn, or smoke. So you have to heat the pan slightly above its smoke point for at least a few minutes. Grapeseed oil is commonly used for seasoning. It has a smoke point of 421F. To get started, apply a thin layer of grapeseed oil with a paper towel all over your pan, underside, and handle. Now use a new paper towel and vigorously try to wipe off all the oil. You want an imperceptibly thin layer of oil. Too thick of an oil layer will crust or season unevenly. You want a slight sheen to your pan but it shouldn't be glimmering with oil. Now place the pan in the oven upside down (cooking surface down) and turn the oven to 450F. To account for different oven thermometers, you want to turn the temperature slightly above your smoke point. Leave the pan in the oven for 45 minutes. Now carefully take the pan out, let it cool for a few minutes, and apply another oil layer. Again thoroughly wipe off the oil layer with a paper towel so it is as thin as possible (almost gone entirely). Put it back in the oven at 450F for 45 minutes and take it out. Your pan is now seasoned. 4. Stovetop Seasoning To maximize the non-stick, you want to season the cooking surface a few more times. This is most easily done on the stove instead of the oven, but is basically done the same way. Apply a thin layer of oil to the cooking surface of the pan and wipe it off with a dry paper towel. Put the pan on the stove and heat it to medium high just until the oil starts to smoke (you'll see smoke). Let it smoke for 1-2 minutes. Now take the pan off, let it cool, and apply another oil layer, and wipe it off. Put it back on the heat until it smokes and repeat. You can do this 3-4 times to have a super slick cooking surface. ====== Cooking tips for your CS pan: You can cook with any oil, including olive oil. They say olive oil has a low smoke point but that may not be true based on some industry research. Start cooking with a moderate amount of oil and once your pan is better seasoned, you can start using very little oil. Using a spray bottle (you can use a glass refillable spray bottle) is a nice way to get the oil on the pan You can cook on medium heat. You do not need to use high heat like with stainless steel. Low heat can be tricky and can cause some sticking, but generally medium heat works well Just like with cast iron, you can vigorously scrape your pan with a metal spatula to get crusted food off either while cooking or afterwards. Scraping won't remove your seasoning. You can clean your pan with soap and water and sponges. This will not remove your seasoning. That is a myth. Same applies to cast iron. The important thing is that water cannot be sitting on your pan. Don't leave it in the sink - it will rust. Dishwasher probably isn't great either. Don't let water sit on the pan for a long time. Wipe off all the water and leave it out to dry after you're done cleaning it. Some people will stove heat the pan and wipe with oil to protect from rust. You can cook acidic foods like tomatoes. It will strip your seasoning and stick to your pan but that is okay. Your pan will reseason over time. If you're having issues with things sticking to your pan, you can try this traditional Chinese cooking method of 滑锅 or "longyau" (aka "swirling oil"). This method is basically seasoning your pan every time you cook with it. You apply a generous amount of oil (pour a thick layer) to your pan and heat it up to high heat. Once the oil starts to smoke, you can pour off the excess oil into a glass container (and keep it for future cooking) and let the pan cool down to the desired cooking temperature. Your pan has just been quickly seasoned. Now you can cook with whatever oil remains on the pan. Don't worry about the color or spots on the pan. It will look funky as you cook in it over time - doesn't matter and won't affect performance. Enjoy your indestructible non stick pan. If it warps you can hammer it out. If it rusts, you can sand off the rust. It will probably outlive us. ## Frequently Bought Together - Matfer Bourgeat Black Carbon Steel Frying Pan, 15 3/4" - MIU Fish Spatula Stainless Steel, Flexible, Polished Metal, Corrosion Resistant, Kitchen Slotted Turner [Upgraded Version] - Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass® High Temperature Pelton Spatula, Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/31920967-matfer-bourgeat-black-carbon-steel-frying-pan-15-1-2](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/31920967-matfer-bourgeat-black-carbon-steel-frying-pan-15-1-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
