Matfer Black Steel Pans

I had one of these. The initial coating that comes with it (some people say is wax) is damn near impossible to get off. I tried hot water and boiling water and scrubbed with a green scouring pad and all it did was just make scratches in that coating. Spent an hour or more on it and the coating barely came off. It doesn't come off in pieces either. Once parts of the coating is removed, the pan will start rusting or turn brown pretty quickly. I never managed to get rid of that coating and didn't want to cook with it still there so I gave up on this pan.

Supersonic" the pans need to be broken in or “seasoned” "... There are many ways to get rid of the original wax coating, many tutorials online about this. The wax layer is there to prevent it from rusting. Obviously once you get rid of parts of the wax and you didnt season the pan, it would rust.

TomomoOf course it needs to be seasoned, but there's no point in seasoning with that wax layer still on there. And obviously it will rust after that coating has been removed, but since it takes so long for it to get removed, rust sets in before I can even try to remove all the wax. And believe me, I have followed what others have done to remove it and if you look online or have owned one, you'd see why the most common complaint is getting rid of that initial coating. It is simply the biggest pain in the ass about this pan.
