It has many of the benefits of cast iron and heats up more quickly. High heat searing is where it really shines. Steaks and burgers are just effortless.
I have a bunch of Le Crouset and stainless. I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time scraping and scrubbing burns off of them from searing.
I finally got a carbon steel pan recently. It’s the only pan I use now, unless I’m cooking something acidic.
Carbon steel woks are incredibly versatile, especially with a flat bottom.
Just got a nice big one for my birthday. Got to get it all seasoned up nice. I love it already
