I grabbed one of these up the last time they were dropped. I have cooked with almost exclusively cast iron for years now, and have been curious about the differences between cast iron and carbon steel in practice. I highly recommend the carbon steel pans offered by Matfer. Going forward, all my skillets will be switching to carbon steel. I want to stress how important it is to season them properly for the nonstick aspects of the skillet (as well as longer life). It's also important not to cook acidic food in them (wine, beer, tomatoes, etc). Doing so will ruin the seasoning and you'll have to season your skillet again. After seasoning, your skillet will darken considerably (possibly even turn black). I used this method to season mine https://www.cooksillustrated.com/how_tos/9588-how-to-season-a-carbon-steel-pan, and would recommend the method to others. If you're looking for a great nonstick skillet that does it all (as long as it doesn't include alcohol or tomatoes) you're going to have a hard time finding a better one.
TLDR: I highly recommend these great skillets! -Requires a seasoning process to extend life and create nonstick surface -Requires upkeep -Must avoid acidic dishes that include things like alcohol and tomatoes (also do not use soap!)
