Across the board, the Merten & Storck pan is a reliable, reasonably priced carbon-steel pan that would be an asset to any home kitchen.
Bennett prefers the Matfer Bourgeat black steel frying pans, which have sizzled in French kitchens for over 200 years. Carbon steel is our workhorse at the restaurant.
Matfer Bourgeat pans are simply designed no-nonsense tools beloved by professional chefs. They have a sturdy welded handle that may not be the prettiest, but it's much easier to clean than a riveted pan.
After seasoning over a dozen different pans in the oven, we judged them on three main factors: How sticky they were, how evenly they heated, and how they responded to temperature changes.
