Matfer Bourgeat 062002 9 1/2" Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan

This pan is well-built and solidly made. The lack of rivets makes for a smooth cooking surface all over with nowhere for food particles to get trapped. My only note is that the manufacturer seasoning instructions don't work well on an electric stove - you just get a circle of seasoning in the middle. If you don't have gas, seasoning in the oven is the better bet.

Once seasoned I've used it almost every day. On the stove top (both gas and electric), on top of the grill, in the oven, and under the broiler. Excellent multi-tasker, still perfectly flat on the bottom, and always predictable results. Slightly heavier then my other favorite "nonstick All-Clad perfect pan" but can go more places without consequence. Preheats really fast and conducts very well, actually had to dial my settings back a bit. Love it !

This is a high quality pan. Make sure you wash well before seasoning as there is a coating on it. It was very easy to season and is already becoming nonstick and will continue to get better with use.

After the first use on a gas rage this pan looks like a mini wok. The center developed a large bugle around 1cm proud of dead flat. It spins around like a top when on the flat counter after cooling down. Total trash. I added this to my collection since Made In doesn't make a 14" carbon steel pan.

The seasoning process provided by Matfer Bourgeat does NOT work for those that have an electric coil stove. I ended up seasoning the pan in the oven to develop an even coat all the way around, and have enjoyed the pan since I purchased it. That said, the bottom has warped and it no longer sits flat on my range. This wouldn’t be a problem on a gas range with metal grates, but if the pan needs to be in contact with the burner to heat evenly, then the warping is a significant issue. Despite this, I am quite happy with the purchase and use it at least once daily.

I seasoned the pan using a very very light coating of safflower oil in the oven for an hour at 25 degrees above smoke point of oil and it has been wonderfully non-stick since. Passed the egg test (butter + egg = gliding egg around the pan). Have also used for 3 egg omelet and it worked perfectly without sticking. Provides great browning for things like onions. Would definitely recommend. Definitely get a handle cover though - it gets hot!

The Matfer Bourgeat 11 3/4” Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan is a high quality Fry Pan. It is heavy weight and it heats evenly. The handle is well attached and it doesn’t get too hot. Nothing sticks to the bottom and it is easy to clean. The price is phenomenal. I would highly recommend.

This was my first carbon steel pan and I have to say I am a huge fan. This is my go-to pan and I use it almost everyday. The seasoning took a few attempts to get right and it is getting better with each use. If you are looking for a carbon steel pan look no further, this thing is awesome.

One of the best pens I've ever cooked in. Has some serious weight, so you're not gonna have to worry about any hot spots. The seasoning on this guy is also super solid and permanent.

There is a reason this pan is top rated by Cook's Illustrated. It's a great pan for the price. Heavy enough too heat evenly, but not so heavy as your 12 inch cast iron pan, not even close. Very non-stick once it has been seasoned. That was a little bit of work; the manufacturer recommends washing thoroughly, then doing a stove-top process with oil, salt, and potato skins for 15 minutes. It went well, but the house smelled of hot oil for quite a while! Still, entirely worth it; my hash browns this morning were delicious and easy.

Fantastic pan

good overall, sturdy with some heft and build quality. recommend it.

I love this pan and use it daily. It seasoned well and has acquired a nice patina. The heating is very even, and the food browns nicely. Not as heavy as cast iron pans of this size. Very happy with the purchase.

Awesome pan. Had difficulty utilizing the mfg recommendations for seasoning and instead did my own thing which worked fine. Is solid and performs will. I love the rivetless inside, just hoping it lasts a lifetime.

I love this carbon steel fry pan so far. It's not as heavy as a cast iron, but still provides great heat transfer when I'm cooking.

Say goodbye to your nonstick pans. After following the simple seasoning instructions, this pan is ready. Eggs will slide right off. Great for searing as well. Heats up fast. Highly recommended. I use it almost every day.

I bought this pan after reading the reviews by America's test Kitchen. The pans performed just as expected. As long as you season the pan according to the instructions as stated, it becomes non stick enough to cook scrambled eggs.

Amazing pan that is as good as they claim. I recently purchased this pan, followed the manufacturers instructions on seasoning and fried an egg right after. Perfectly non-stick surface. Solid pan that will last for many many years.

ordered pan yesterday a 530 am received it today I'm so excited to use my new high quality pan..... great price on pan and very fast shipping was unexpected will buy again and recommend them to all who wants real professional kitchen equipment thank you justin s.. queens ny

I love this pan. Once I had it seasoned correctly it has been my go to pan for a majority of my cooking. It is big enough to handle so many things, but not nearly as heavy as a cast iron skillet. It has completely replaced my worn out non-stick skillets.

I love the Matfer Bourgeat black carbon steel fry pans and the 8 1/2" size of this one makes it the most versatile pan I own. One note to potential customers: follow the directions from the manufacturer when it comes to seasoning the pan properly. You can find other reviews on different websites that might tell you something different but all the pans are made and constructed differently. I followed the directions directly from Matfer Bourgeat and after numerous uses I am amazed at how non-stick this is.

Absolutely love the no rivet design. This brand of carbon steel fry pan was highly recommended by America's Test Kitchen and I found it on this site for the lowest price i have seen. Use salt and potato skins to season and you'll have yourself an amazingly nonstick surface.

This Matfer Bourgeat 062006 12 5/8" Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan is my favorite pan. Once seasoned properly, it's virtually non-stick, and still allows the use of metal utensils. The size is big enough to handle large quantities of food, but not so much that it's unwieldy.

This black carbon steel frying pan is extremely well designed. It is made of very high quality materials and is perfect for its intended use.

These pans are HEAVY. The initial treatment on this pan isn't a fun process (lots of smoke), but once oil is properly applied and cooked on, its mostly nonstick. The handle has not gotten too hot at the end for bare hands in the shorter cooking I have used the pan for.

I received this as a gift for Christmas and it's been on my wish list for some time. It has not disappointed. The first couple of things that are very noticeable are the weight and the welded handle vs. riveted handle. The weight was exciting; it's a solid construction and the even heating and distribution is wonderful. It's taken a little getting used to because it's different, but that's a good thing. I have an electric stovetop so I have to be patient for best results. That changed how I seasoned and also how I cook. The payoff is great though. Speaking of construction I was unsure about the weld. I get it that it's for a smooth interior that won't hold any bits. I held the handle tightly and gave it a couple of solid shakes knowing that I was placing a lot of faith in the product and Read More

this is one of the best pan ever made. the carbon steel cooks evenly, the taste is like you were eating in a for star cafe in France. better then I hope for.

Matfer Bourgeat 10" Black Carbon Steel Fry Pan is awesome! Just season and have something for life. 10" is perfect for most searing items and heat safe for oven to finishing.
