Bobby Flay by GreenPan 12" Carbon Steel Fry Pan

We only used this twice, did not use cooking spray and did not have the heat past medium and not only did it completely oxidize, it is not nonstick. Worst pan we have ever purchased. It is unfortunate because we have used other Greenpan products for many years with no problems. Be aware, there are no refunds or exchanges allowed so I would recommend going with another product, or even a different brand that has better customer care.

I recently was given several options for a 15 year performance gift at my work. After looking through several pages of kitchen tools, backyard accessories, and pocket knives, I found this 12" carbon steel frypan. I've been thinking about trying carbon steel cookware for a little while, and this seemed like a great opportunity to try it out. Upon receipt, I cleaned it inside and out with warm water and a mild soap, then heated it up with some oil and some potatoes (recommended by a YouTube video. not sure it did anything). In the last three weeks, the only time I've removed the pan from my cooktop is to run a little warm water and wipe it clean. I've cooked steaks, eggs (fried and scrambled), chicken thighs, spaghetti sauce, browned sausage and chicken for a gumbo, made a few bags of ramen noodles with chicken and eggs, made French Toast, and baked a deep dish pizza. This pan is fantastic. It really gets the results of cast iron and stainless steel in one versatile pan. I'm not a professional cook by any measure, but I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. I'm also impressed at the results it gets on the horrible electric stove in our temporary apartment. Can't wait to try it out on a proper cooktop when our house is ready. To be honest, I was getting this just to try out the material to see if I liked cooking on carbon steel. I expected this pan to be a little bit cheaper quality, but thought if I liked the material I could always upgrade to the Made In version. This pan is sturdy, has a nice weight, and really does handle everything I throw at it. If anything ever happened to it I would definitely buy another.

Food doesn’t stick, the jut require extra steps to care for them.

This pan requires a new way to cook. And even though the directions were hard to read, it's best to follow them.

Very pleased with my purchase!! Recommended already to my circle as the best long term alternative!

Works very nicely with our new induction range. Exactly what we needed.

Junk! 12in pan warped after 2 uses on induction cook top, dose not season well, seems like there is some kink of coating on pan that makes it impossible to season. Save yourself the trouble and buy something else.

Works unbelievable. Doesn’t stick. I grilled some tofu in it. Great results!

I like it over all, but frying eggs stick and I've turned the heat at the lowest and use plenty of olive oil. Is there a reason for this

This pan warped as soon as it reached a moderate sauteing temperature. It flattens out when it cools down, but warps immediately again when you put it on any heat.

Gave them as a gift to my daughter who is planning to get an indiction range and she loves this set of pans. They are super easy to clean and nothing sticks to them. Highly recommend! I have the smaller one and absolutely love it!!

This was the best gift this Christmas. I bought it for my son, who is a great cook. He loves it, saying that it is outstanding for his various favorites.

Perfect size for eggs and single serving dishes. Totally non stick and easy to clean. Love it.

took care of it according to the instructions. A week later its stained and sticky. The quality is not worth the price.

this pan works as advertised. Can use metal utensils and it is mostly nonstick

cooked bacon on it and now the pan is "scarred" where the bacon. Affects the non stick properties

The Bobby Flay carbon steel frypan is a reliable sturdy lightweight pan for everyday use. It's great for dishes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven or under the broiler since it is safe up to 600 degrees. It was preconditioned so no food sticking on the first use. I do wish it had a smoother handle finish for comfort, but this is a minor quibble.

Good size/shape for a lot more than Paella - I use it for sauteing and stir frys. Makes meal prep simple. Will try it next on steaks and see if it can replace a heavy cast iron for me.

I like knowing the non stick is non toxic, works great for eggs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a crepe making novice I thoroughly enjoyed using this Bobby Flay by Greenspan 11” Carbon Steel Crepe Pan. It gets hot and maintains even heat beautifully. Even my husband couldn’t resist trying it out. It’s weighty but still easily handled with one hand. Just rent to oil it after washing and it will keep looking good.
