Merten & Storck Pre-Seasoned Carbon Metal Induction 10″ Frying Pan Skillet, Oven Protected, Black

Excellent product
I love this pan. After my latest non-stick frying pan only lasted a year (why is my new pan not working?), I decided I was tired of having the newest thing in my kitchen be replaced so frequently. I decided it was time to look into other options. I hate cast iron pans. My husband has one for our kitchen, and I hate it. I feel like it never gets clean, and it is so heavy, and its handle gets hot. In looking for alternatives, I found this. While there are a lot of similarities to cast iron, I actually love this pan. We have gotten all three sizes now for our kitchen.When you clean it, you don’t use soap. You just use the hottest water your sink gets to and a brush. I feel like this cleans easier than cast iron, because the surface is very smooth. After washing, we set it on a lit burner until it is dry. Either then or before we cook, we will put a little oil on it and rub it in with a paper towel.It is heavy, but not quite as heavy as cast iron. Our biggest pan is heavier than I like, but the two smaller ones are pretty manageable.The handle can get hot, but it is a longer handle than cast iron, so it takes longer to heat up. The littlest pan of our three almost always gets a hot handle, while the biggest one rarely does.My highest recommendation is for the middle sized pan. Its handle doesn’t usually get too hot and its weight is more manageable. We have been using these pans now for 6 months and they do a great job being non-stick. I haven’t had any issues with them scratching (although I guess I use plastic spatulas), and I foresee them lasting for a very long time. I would highly recommend these.

It’s everything they say, in context.
This review is of the 10 inch frying panpros:It really comes with all the promises that they make. It is pre-seasoned, really. It is just as good as nonstick as long as you use oil, not butter only, to cook anything. It is lighter than cast iron by a good bit. It is heirloom quality. You could dent this pan or even fold it in half and still heat it back up, bang it back into shape re-season it and it will still work. If the rivets got damaged you could grind them off and re-rivet the handle and it would work just fine.The very first try out of the box I cleaned it up and I heated it up to very hot to burn off any contaminants that might have been on it and then I proceeded to fry not one but 6 eggs with less coconut oil and butter than I use in my normal Teflon pens (I combine the two because butter keeps the oil from beating up and spreading evenly across the pan surface). Not only did the eggs not stick, I mean I didn’t even have to use a spatula for any small stuck areas, it simply slid around in the pan like a brand new ceramic. Not only did it perform perfectly but it also flipped all six eggs, perfectly. Because of the taller sides and steeper angle of the sides I didn’t think it would work but again to my amazement it worked perfectly. Can’t really say enough positive about my experience so far.These cons are not really cons in context. But to provide a good context you need to know that carbon steel is substantially heavier than stainless steel or aluminum but on the plus side much lighter than cast iron even “lighter built” cast iron. The handle is a very heavy duty steel handle (and here’s the only thing I can say that’s negative about the pan is that the handle is not really that comfortable to hold, but I knew what the shape was going in and that’s on me) and probably didn’t need to be that heavy duty, but it is and it does get hot is if its under heat for quite a while or at high heat. I’m going to make some slide on wooden covers but that’s because I can. The pan heats up way faster than our cast iron stuff and does hold its heat for quite a while. The texture is very smooth compared to cast iron and I’m very happy with it.If you’re looking for a way to buy once and own forever. Looking for a way to get away from repurchasing ceramic and eating ceramic and Teflon when they break down then I can’t recommend anything better than this pan for its shape and consistent durable construction, this company For availability and price. I’m not excited about having to re-season and pay attention to that process. But everything has a pain, pick your pain. I’m no longer interested in wondering if I’m eating Teflon or having to repurchase 30 to 40 dollar pans every couple of years or as soon as my children or others who use the pans cause a scrape.

Si eres principiante en la cocina o tienes poco tiempo para dedicarle a la preparación de tus alimentos este sarten no es para ti. Pero para quienes amamos cocinar y sabemos que lo bueno requiere tiempo y dedicación este es un sarten simplemente genial, en realidad nada se le pega, he hecho omelets, huevo estrellado, fajitas de pollo, mini crepas y todo excelente. Incluso cometí el error de hacer unas manzanas fritas y su acidez (eran Granny Smith) eliminó un poco de la patina pero con volverlo a curar quedó como nuevo. En verdad amo este sarten, incluso me encanta como se ve colgado en mi cocina, definitivamente compraré el de 12″ tambien.

Matériau excellente qualité. Facile à nettoyer et surtout pas trop lourde
