Carbon Steel Seasoning Wax

I tried the egg test and I failed. Now it's probably the cook that's the problem. I want to make this my go to pan but I can't because not knowing how it's going to turn out. I am very tempted to purchase the 10 inch pan that I may learn from the smaller pan -be able to handle it better. I am just concerned that I have messed up the pan I have. Having to reset the pan three times and then season it. I know it sounds like I don't cook but I have stainless and eurocast and I love to cook just haven't figured out how to cook with this pan. I really appreciate you helping me out. I have to say that Made In customer service has been great.

I have the 10” and the 12” carbon steel pans. After seasoning, they are truly nonstick. Not in the same way as a “coated” nonstick pan, as you still add a fat for frying, but you just have to cook in one to see how slick that surface is after seasoning properly. Make sure your seasoning oil is wiped off till the pan actually looks dry then bake it upside down in the oven at a temperature 25* over oil smoke point for an hour, turn off oven, leave pan in closed oven till cool. Remember these pans will quickly get crazy hot on medium low heat so you don’t really need to crank up the heat to get that great sear, just let the pan get hot on med/med low, add your butter or oil and you’re good to go. Also, customer service is stellar!

This is a well made carbon steel pan. It sears and maintains heat well . Any kind of acid like tomatoes or lemons will remove the seasoning so it is really not an all purpose pan.
Not as good a value as other MadeIn products as other quality pans are available at about the same price point or less.
I had trouble with the initial seasoning and struggled before it finally achieved a proper surface. I found the potato peel method worked best.
Anyone purchasing carbon steel - any brand- should be aware that they require more maintenance than any other material. Be prepared to use a lot of paper towels and salt to keep them clean
