The most terrible item I have seen.DidarI bought this and at the very first time I used it got rust and whatever I tried never worked, I am a hundred percent sure this profuct is a wrong material for kitchen but IKEA has disappointed me a lot and they did not help at all, I really do not want to be at Ikea for a long time. This is the worst thing I have bought for kitchen and from Ikea. If you read this , do not buy and save your money.1
Needs to be seasoned before useIlaineI see a lot of negative reviews here about rust and food sticking. It's clear to me that a lot of customers aren't seasoning their pan before use. This is a great product at a great price -- but you need to know what you're buying and how to use it.
Please learn to season your pan before use.5
Disappointed and Frustrated – Would Not RecommendPramukI purchased this item a couple of weeks ago and have been thoroughly disappointed. The surface became extremely sticky after just a couple of uses—frying some prawns and an egg. Cleaning it has been a nightmare; regular dishwashing liquids don’t work at all. Despite following standard care instructions, the stickiness + marks persists, making it practically unusable.
This has honestly been one of the most frustrating purchases I’ve made from IKEA. I had higher expectations. I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone—save yourself the trouble and avoid it.1
Rusting issueAnonymous reviewerI shifted from non-stick pan to this. Good, sturdy pan, thickness is good. Little bit on heavier side, difficult to handle sometimes. Recently, I saw rusting after wash. Washed it with regular soap water, but after drying there was rusting issue seen. Can you please suggest on this? 4
Love itHetaHave been using it almost everyday since 8 months+ to stirfry or saute veggies without sticking to the pan!! Washed the pan with hot water after buying and Seasoned by applying 2 drops of oil evenly and heated the pan on stove till it changed colour. Did this process for 2 more times and the pan is ready to use naturally nonstick. Very affordable and durable compared to other brands sold that are quite expensive. I own both sizes of these pans and couldn’t be happier with them. These will last a lifetime. Never going back to non-stick! Thanks IKEA!! 5
Awesome pan for the priceAnonymous reviewerUsually Carbon steel pans are expensive. This one is a great thick pan and at a great price. Here’s what I did:
Washed it with with warm soapy water. Wiped it dry. Warmed it a bit to get off all the moisture.
Applied very thin layer of oil inside and outside both with paper towel and put it in the oven at 430 F for 1 hour to let it season.
Take it off once completely cool, re-seasoned in oven same way for 2 more times.
Used it today to make savoury lentil pan cakes and it didn’t stick at all!!! Turned out nice crispy and I was so happy to use a stainless steel spatula.
Just go for it!! 5
