Matfer Bourgeat 9 1/2-inch Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan

Matfer Bourgeat 9 1/2-inch Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan

The 9 1/2-inch pan is a practical first carbon steel skillet for a home cook: big enough for three or four eggs, two chicken thighs or a pan of sautéed mushrooms, and still light enough to move with one hand.

Carbon steel heats faster than cast iron and responds quickly when you turn the burner down, which suits eggs and fish. With seasoning it becomes slick enough for fried eggs without a coating.

If you plan to bake in carbon steel, choose a pan with a welded handle, like this one, over a riveted pan. The next size up is the 10-inch pan.

First Cooks in a New Pan

For the first week, cook with a little more fat than you would in a coated pan, and cook foods that add to the seasoning: sautéed onions, roast potatoes, burgers. Avoid long simmers in wine or tomato until the patina is established. After that, the pan handles eggs, fish and pancakes with a thin film of oil.

Before First Use

The pan ships with a protective coating to prevent rust in transit. Wash it off with hot water and a little soap, dry the pan over low heat, then season it: wipe a thin film of neutral oil over the interior, heat until the oil smokes, and wipe away the excess. Repeat two or three times. The surface darkens with use, and that dark patina is what makes the pan release food. You can season it like cast iron to enhance its non-stick performance, and seasoning will extend the life of the pan.

Care

Clean while the pan is still warm with hot water and a brush or scraper; avoid soaking it and avoid the dishwasher.
Dry the pan completely over heat and wipe in a drop of oil before storing it.
Acidic sauces such as tomato or wine can strip a young seasoning; cook them in the pan once the patina is established, or use a stainless pan.
If rust appears, scour it off with steel wool and re-season the pan.
