MCS Strikes Again!

Hey what's wrong with a few percent here and there.....

[FireMan]

Do the math, he’s right! 🤓

[Smoker_Boy]

Math is hard...

First, that’s a nice cook you had there.
Second, it’s a good thing you had that new pan to cook your wib eye just right. Wise of you to have made the purchase.

I have that same pan up in my kitchen. Maybe the same. Mine might be a bit smaller than that. My wife got it for me a few years back as a gift and at that point I think it was $40 or so. Seems like they are a bit more expensive now.

I don't use it as much as I should. When I am grabbing a pan off the rack I will almost always reach for my cast iron but occasionally I see the carbon steel hanging there and it looks lonely so I grab it and give it a quick cook. Awesome, simple pan. The handle isn't the most comfortable but good enough.

Good looking tool my friend, steak too.

I am a fan of CS pans as well. They take a nice seasoning, They heat well and evenly and the weight is easier to deal with than cast iron (which cooks very well too). I have both CS and a cast iron pans. I find myself reaching for the CS pans more often than the cast iron.

P.S. I see the thyme sprig in the photo. I love fresh thyme. It gives food a very nice and rich herbal/savory flavor. And fresh thyme like you used is much more flavorful than dried thyme if you can get it.

So let it be known FireMan can cook!

Well, how about that! Excellent purchase good sir, in my book CS is the way to go. Just like CI, but smoother surface. And the same old school seasoning process. Me like 👌

We love Cast iron but, anyone know the difference between blue carbon steel and regular carbon steel pans? Besides the color of course! Thanks!

[JimLinebarger]

I have 3 of them from 10" thru 12 5/8". Really like them. ATK approved them, even their paella pan.

[FireMan]

RlsRls , the difference tween blue and regular carbon steel is tha blue goes through an annealing process which makes it just a tad less corrosion resistant. It does nor effect searing or high heat capability, that is the same either or.
