Matfer Bourgeat

Just an update on the newer black carbon steel pans I picked up…..
1 was an older version and 1 is a newer version, but I don’t think that means too much….
Both seem to becoming along good…..they are different in coming along but both work flawlessly.
You would think that doing scrambled eggs would be a mistake but nothing sticks…..they just come out clean when cooking anything.

I highly recommend this brand, does everything except acidic dishes of course…..it’s nice to keep the seasoning so acidic gets a different pan.
A couple pics….another few months and they should look a bunch darker I think.

They're gorgeous, Darryl. Great brand.

Got a new addition to the Matfer crew in my cupboard…..this is mid between the 2 I already have.
Pics of the new 10 inch model and the 11.5 and the 9 inch are getting nicely seasoned.
Thanks for lookin!

I have always thought those were beautiful pans but, I have yet to pull the trigger on one! Nice to hear from a “trusted source” that they are indeed the highest quality!
Have a lovely weekend one and all!

You won't want to wait too long the price of my new one is for sure an increase in cost over the first time I purchased the pans.
It was only a few months apart as well.......
Black Friday may be a good option of course if you were going to wait.

I’ll have to finish some plumbing projects and refill the coffers!

Those carbon steel pans look really nice Darryl.
It’s kinda funny, I was just wondering what I need to have a complete set of CI and these look great.
Most of my cheap pans need to 86’ed because they don’t sit flat on my electric range.
I think some will even warp when they get heated up.

Getting the 10 inch seasoned up….3 seasonings to look like this….
Then I am doing some onions and salt until they are burnt…..then oil up and put away ready to use.
Don’t cook the onions too hot and use lots of oil…….

Cast iron is similar and different….I have lots of cast but I admire these pans much more over the cast….the cast sits in a pile in the basement.
Now I have 3 good sizes there may be no need for others…these 3 should last a very very long time if taken care of……pineapple btw is not good for them…..acidic pills all the seasoning off, very fast…so you need a stainless sauce pan too. Most likely 2 sizes of stainless for a nice round set of cooking tools. The wife still keeps non stick around here but I don’t like those.

There is other brands ( cheaper too ) out there so you can do some research….I fell for this French brand….there is other French brands but I fell for this one and it wasn’t a mistake. French make quality pans.

Took a bit….this is where we sit, ready for action.
This one seasoned up better than the 11.5 or the larger one I have.

What'll you cook on it first?
