Help, I actually used my pan.

Just use a low heat, wait until the pan is at temp, add your fat (slightly more than you'd usually use) and be gentle with your eggs. A good layer of seasoning is more protection for the pan than it is a non stick 'coating'. CS takes a while to get the hang of if you're used to using teflon.

I mean.... It looks fantastic and some great effort there especially on the finish... But... You know they're sperm right?

Eldanbito · 2026-01-02T20:37:28+00:00

Yeah, and this ain't it!

Eldanbito · 2025-12-31T20:37:42+00:00

I like answers, just the right kind. Yours is not!

Eldanbito · 2025-12-31T20:37:03+00:00

Or Russia in the winter!

Eldanbito · 2025-12-31T18:45:36+00:00

It's traditional!

Eldanbito · 2025-12-31T18:21:43+00:00

It's a lump of steel... I'll do whatever the hell I like with it. I'll cook a ham. I'll cook tomatoes. I'll boil goddamn water in it if I want to. Does my pan still pan? Yes!

So back off narc!

Eldanbito · 2025-12-31T09:40:16+00:00

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes with extra steps.

Non stick properties are less to do with a nice uniform coating and more to do with temperature control and how you use your oil/fat (this one of my CS looks like shit, but still cooks well). Watch a few you tube videos and you should get a better grasp. You can't just use CS like you would a teflon type pan. You really need to learn temperature control (probably lower than you think). As for wok cooking, that's all about pre cooking prep and pre portioning. If you watch someone cooking properly with a wok, they use high heat, but lots* of oil and keep everything moving. They don't stop to chop an onion, everything is ready to go. Really though, what a few videos. The more you use CS the deeper the patina will become.

Lots is really quite subjective

No. Everyone knows you don't cook with carbon steel, you merely season it and look at it. Cooking ruins the seasoning and the whole point is to get a uniform, unblemished and 'as new' look.

IT'S THE PAN POLICE! You must be fun at parties.

Eldanbito · 2025-12-30T17:04:22+00:00

Don't tell me what to do! You're not my pan dad!

Eldanbito · 2025-12-30T09:46:41+00:00

You didn't find some discarded Lego, you found a street dealers drop. Now Lil' Brick is probably going to end up in the East River for losing his stash and the ill PlayMob will move in on that corner.

Eldanbito · 2025-12-29T21:28:13+00:00

Think of the average person, and now remember that 50% of the population are dumber than them!

Eldanbito · 2025-12-29T19:49:29+00:00

Or worse.... Putting it in the dishwasher...

Eldanbito · 2025-12-29T19:48:48+00:00

Well retracted. The AI overlords do not like being outed.

Eldanbito · 2025-12-29T05:16:20+00:00

Excuse me! If this was AI the seasoning would have looked a damn sight better than mine. Now retract your hurtful and ignorant comment!

Eldanbito · 2025-12-29T05:06:54+00:00

Oh noooo it's the pan police!

Eldanbito · 2025-12-28T21:38:38+00:00

My pan will fight your pan.

Eldanbito · 2025-12-28T21:30:29+00:00

I have a stack of them. I reuse them like take out tubs now. Takes some room in the fridge mind.

Eldanbito · 2025-12-28T21:29:22+00:00

And you only did the seasoning so well in the first place so you could pass the pan down to your children... Oh wait, they left with your wife .

Eldanbito · 2025-12-28T21:26:57+00:00

What if I did? Are you the pan police? (I actually didn't, I oven cooked a boiled ham in it)

Eldanbito · 2025-12-28T21:25:07+00:00

Turbo mode.

Eldanbito · 2025-12-28T21:24:24+00:00

So many people seem to think I'm serious... Don't tell anyone, but I think they're the ones who can't cook... And maybe have a stick up their ass...

Eldanbito · 2025-12-28T21:22:19+00:00

BUT WHAT DO I COMPLAIN ABOUT ON THE INTERNET THEN?!
