Review: I love it, but find it is a niche pan. - I now own 4 of these carbon steel mineral B pans, in various sizes. I also cook so much in a 14" wok that I thought this might be a really useful in between go to everything pan, that was a little smaller. In actual fact it turned out to not be quite as versatile as I'd thought. It's in no way the pans fault at all. The same heavy gauge heat retaining awesome stuff as all of my Mineral B's are, but the high sides that are also much closer to one another make the sides somehow more in the way when it comes to anything that might require stirring. You find yourself angling the utensil way up, which is something I didn't give any thought to in regards to reducing the size of what is effectively a kind of wok. I do like now the base IS wider that a wok. It's very stable, and because of the high sides, a great saute pan that also minimizes oil spattering. I really do like i t, but find myself reaching for it less than I thought I would. Perhaps I need some time to get used to it, but I find I'm still going for my full size wok, or my much smaller saute pans, and also my crepe pan, because it has no sides at all to get in the way. Cannot demote it for that though. It's beautiful, and it seems to have found a place in being the perfect ramen pan; searing onions prior to noodles and boiling water going in.
Review: A great pan but like any tool, it takes time to learn how to use it well. - I really like this pan and have found it Remarkably well suited for stir-frying, braising small cuts of meat, and it has even worked well for deep frying egg rolls. If you're interested in frying steaks, etc, I would not recommend this pan as it is a bit small at the base for such things. Instead, consider the larger De Buyer Country skillet (be forewarned that it is a heavy pan) or one of the traditional De Buyer fry pans. My only complaint with the pan is that the silicone coating on the handle seems pointless--it is too thin to offer any real insulation from the heat and it has melted/cooked away at the point where the handle is riveted to the body of the pan. Seasoning: there is an incredible amount of debate/information on the web about how to season steel and cast iron pans. My experience has been that the methods for seasoning cast iron and steel are similar but not necessarily interchangeable. The method I used, one that has worked well, is to: 1) Boil potatoes skins in the new pan as directed by De Buyer (this helps remove the bees wax coating that the pan ships with). Throw out the resulting grey mess; 2) scrub the pan thoroughly with soap and water to get off any remaining wax; 3) Heat the pan slightly on the stove to ensure that it is completely dry--about 2 minutes on medium heat; 4) Using a clean paper towel, vigorously rub a thin coat of flaxseed oil onto the insides of the pan (don't forget to shake the oil well before using it and to refrigerate it). I cannot reiterate that this layer of oil needs to be very, very thin--best to apply lots of thin layers than one big thick one; 5) Heat the pan until the oil cooks past its smoke point--about 15-20 minutes. Remember that seasoning IS NOT cooking and the goal here is to cause the oil to polymerize. If you are really interested, leave a comment and I will point you to a link that explains the chemistry in-depth; 6) Allow the pan to cool and then repeat steps 3-6 several more times; 7) After you've created a solid coating of 7-10 layers on the inside of the pan, just start cooking with it and it will continue to season on its own. Cleaning; usually I just wipe it out with a clean cloth/paper towel; however, it does, on occasion require that I use some boiling water and salt to get out crusty bits.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent high side pan that can be a substitute as a Chinese wok
*by N***K on September 24, 2017*

This is what it looks like after seasoning for ard 8-10 times using flaxseed oil and salt + potatoes skin method. I have been using Chinese wok made of cast iron . The disadvantage is that it is heavier and takes a longer time to heat up. But it is great for stewing and more stable. This pan is lighter in weight; higher side wall compared to normal pan and hence oil won't splatter that easily and much easier to heat it up. Hence this pan is great for people that likes to stir fry; just like a Chinese wok. This wok is being used most of the time in the kitchen . Only so call disadvantage is that the handle won't allow the pan to be placed in the oven.
