Great value.UrielA+++
Great pans! Great value!HeatherIf you are considering buying these pans, ignore all the reviews complaining of rusting or food sticking. With proper seasoning, care, and cooking technique, carbon steel pans will be nonstick and will not rust. It’s not difficult, just different than what you may be used to. I think a few small adjustments are well worth it for a nonstick, nontoxic pan that should last significantly longer than a chemically coated pan. If you are new to cooking with carbon steel, I highly recommend checking out the r/carbonsteel subreddit for tips on seasoning and cooking techniques. I bought the small size first, and after a month of use, I purchased the larger size. I have another CS pan that cost more than twice as much, but I prefer my Vardagen pans. They are really a great value, especially considering carbon steel pans can last for decades. Time will tell with these, but they seem very well constructed and I have no doubt they will outlast any PTFE coated pan.
Great pan!!!Anonymous reviewerLove this pan. Very sturdy like cast iron without hurting your arm in the process.
Amazing QualityManpreetcompare to other brand this carbon steel pan is bit heavy , and therefore it is one of the best in searing and for day to day cooking.
I love this pan, amazing build quality and will last for generations.
Fantastic productLeeI have both sizes. Easy to season with great cooking performance. Thicker than prior versions and not coated. /r/carbonsteel also loves them if you want to see more user reviews. They don’t look pretty between uses. That’s a carbon steel thing. The ikea product is better than anything in its price category and contends with pans 2x more. It’s not artisan but it’s highly functional and there’s no reason to have more from a carbon steel pan (aside from sizes) than this offers.
Check out the americas test kitchen carbon steel video for more info on the material. This is just as good as the products they reference. Only difference is the ikea logo. This one has rivets but that is better imo long term to avoid breakage.
An amazing value!Anonymous reviewerThis is a remarkable value in a midweight carbon steel pan. It has a similar shape to Mineral B omelette pans, and has the same type of high-temp lacquered handle. I have the 9 inch size which is a bit of an in-between size, and absolutely love it for eggs and omelettes. Get the larger size for steaks and such. This is not one of those lightweight black steel pans; this is a modestly heavier and unseasoned carbon steel pan, and you will need to develop the nonstick surface yourself through seasoning and regular use. This evening I made bacon and breakfast potatoes in my large cast-iron pan, and pulled out this carbon steel pan for over easy fried eggs. High heat, lots of butter, no sticking whatsoever. This has got to be some of the highest quality to price cookware available currently.
Amazing value carbon steel panAnonymous reviewerThis new VARDAGEN is amazing value. Other equivalent raw carbon steel pans out there cost 1.5-3x more.
There's a lot of reviews talking about how oily it is when you buy it first, how it rusts, etc. This is expected behavior for a raw carbon steel pan, and people need to know that.
When you first get the pan you NEED to scrub the protective oil off with a metal scrubber and HOT water. Why is there a protective oil film? All carbon steel pans RUST if not properly seasoned and dried.
So after cleaning you need to put a bit of oil in it, and heat it up until you see even brown. This is called seasoning, and it will make your carbon steel pan nonstick and rust resistant.
After this, you can cook with it. Each time you are finished cooking, you have to dry it and reapply a little oil and heat it up.
When following these steps, you will have a pan that lasts a lifetime. No more nonstick coatings that will chip off over years!
Great carbon steel panAnonymous reviewerAs good as any carbon steel pan that’s 2x the price and works just as well. Make sure you know what you’re buying and how to maintain a carbon steel pan. You don’t throw this into the dishwasher and you need to properly season and oil it for it to work as a non-stick pan
Huge improvement over the old versionAnonymous reviewerIKEA doubled the thickness over the old version. This now has the heft and performance of a high-end carbon steel pan. Lays flat even after bluing with a very high heat to break it in and easily took to seasoning. It comes with a light layer of food grade oil that will just become part of the season when you initiate your pan.
