never bought a carbon steel before, is this a good one to buy?

[Anonymous No.18815159]

Probably better than starting threads on 4channel. Toss it in the river if you don't like it

No. Riveted pans SUCK. Avoid thrm if possible. Consider purchasing a darto pan.

kohls was the only company willing to give me a credit card, so i do all my big purchases there

Huh, I really like carbon steel, but most places sell really thin walled CS. Just go for the most indestructible looking and thickest walled one you can find. You MUST make sure it is all metal construction. The one in pic has a removable silicon handle guard if it wasn't removable do not buy.

yeah, the handle comes off and they claim can go in the oven up to 400 F, which im not going to test

not the exact same model, but this guy tries out their camping version and says it did not warp over a 900 F fire, seems good to me

I've never really messed around with thin walled CS pans because I only have dartos, but I could imagine the heating may be pretty uneven and heat retention kind of low. If you're using gas it shouldnt matter much.

The darto pans are 3mm and 4mm thick. That looks like 2mm or less.

>>18815393
its 2mm but the guy in the video said it heated very evenly, anyway i ended up ordering. $50, the amazon reviews were pretty good too

>up to 400 F
That's all? That's very low for an all metal pan.

>unga bunga, Grug need to know best slab of metal to cook on
It's a slab of metal, who gives a shit.

try to get one without rivets that is 2.5mm-3mm thick, there's no point when it's thinner than that. the "light weight" ones are all garbage.
I regret getting de buyer because it has rivets. wish I knew about matfer before I bought it. it's also a bit warped on electric. another reason to get matfer instead...

those are basically the most important things to look for

Why are you fuckos so obsessed with rivets?

[Anonymous No.18816137]

>>18816119

have you ever cooked with a pan with rivets? fucking food gets stuck between the rivets and pan. Hard as fuck to clean

[Anonymous No.18816139]

Seriously, just get a Matfer Bourgeat or a deBuyer. They're not even that expensive.

[Anonymous No.18816163]

>>18816119
because they are annoying as fuck. I would never buy a pan or a pot with rivets again after having cooked with them for years. a few weeks ago I got my first rivetless demeyere pan and there is no going back once you realize how much more work it is to keep them clean

[Anonymous No.18816166]

>>18816137
Yes, I cook with my All-Clad all the time and it's not a big deal to clean. I think the reason people don't like it with carbon steel is you can't just throw it in the dishwasher, but I hand wash my stainless pans and never had a problem.

Welded handles can and do snap off.
