2 carbon steel pans, seasoned and rarin' to go! The beeswax coating was stripped this mornin'. Avocado oil was used for the seasoning. Cooked and cooled, along with another seasoning of the flattop.
They will not look like this for long....ready to start cooking and comparing this to the ol' trusted cast iron...

Some may not realize, but pretty much all real Woks are made of carbon steel. It definitely has a place in any serious kitchen. -
....provided one has a Wok station.....IMO.
There is an argument toward a Wok, pan or otherwise....
A Wok requires a special cooking apparatus.

One should addd to the kitchen inventory a good, big cast iron skillet.
Mandatory if you're going to fry chicken the proper way
You know why a certain person and crew wandered the desert for 40 years ?
It's because they were lugging preciious cast iron cooking utensils around.
Sure, it slowed them down, but they were wise. They weren't about to trade good earin' for a little more speed
Yummy or zoomy....they made the right choice.
You can look it up. 🤔

We bought a large-ish (albeit not by commercial standards) carbon steel wok shortly after we got married (i.e., 40-ish years ago). It continues to serve well.

The above image is notable for three reasons:
1) The caption is not a fair representation of the context of the image.
2) The aircraft model is of the Sud-Aviation Caravelle, a type which was way before its time in that era.
3) The virtuous @mhardy6647 posts a camel toe pic. -
You tried hexclad yet Tom?- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Y'all may not believe me but it was that big, beautiful Caravelle model that caught my eye in that photo.
Oh, and I am pretty sure that the toe's naught but photo flash caught by a wrinkle.
Ahem. I got to fly on a United Caravelle identically once, a long, long time ago. Gorgeous aircraft, and, yes, ahead of their time in many respects.

Nope. I have stainless, cast, carbon steel and non-stick. We rarely use the nonstick, but if we ever had to replace it, that's what I was thinking of. The prices for hexclad, last I looked, were kind of outrageous.

We've had hexclad for almost 2 years now. Pots, pans, etc. They literally look like they did the day we bought them and my wife cycles thru the whole set every couple days.
No complaints, great cookware. Quite possibly the last set we will ever purchase given the lifetime warranty and observed durability thus far.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

And they (hexclad) don't work as well as advertised. Lots of debunking videos out there.
I rarely use non-stick and for the times I do, I can baby one of the Teflon pans and get 10+ years out of a set. A set that is $30 at Sam's
-
Considering we own almost 10, they work exactly as advertised, no question... And we definitely do not baby them lol- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Man this is great. A debate about nonstick cookware. It's almost as entertaining as when Tom wrote a 900 word essay about the merits of his doormat.
-
I wasn't saying you have to baby HexClad. I was talking about the regular cheapo teflon non-stick which I have a $30 sams club set.
There are many reports (documented) of HexClad not being quite as non-stick as the traditional teflon non-stick. Some people expect magic, like putting eggs into a dry pan and expecting them to cook and slide right out. Some oil is always required IMO.

We have been through a couple of sets of the Sam's Club non-stick and it seemingly doesn't take much to abuse them. I have since switched to Misen non-stick and have no complaints. My current set is around 8 or 9 years old, IIRC.
I was so impressed with the non-stick, when I was looking at a set of carbon steel pans some years later, I bought from the same place.
My oldest pan in the arsenal is about 70 or 80 years old and it still looks new. This was my G-Grandmother's frying pan with a hinged lid. A Griswold. The oldest pan I bought myself is a Lodge 12" CI that I have had for probably 38 years. Both are workhorses in the kitchen.
So far, on the carbon steel. It appears as if I need to do one or two more seasonings. With CI, I just seasoned them once and kept cooking. What struck me right off the bat about the carbon steel is how quickly it responds to differing heat. I made a panini the other day on the carbon steel and it was easily the best I had ever made. Lots to learn about the carbon steel and lots of experimenting to come.
It does strike me as a little "odd" that a chef would have 4 different sets of the same pans but each one serves a different purpose, each offering their own sets of attributes and deficiencies.
BTW, Drew. I could easily do another essay on the merits of my automatic soap dispenser. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. 😀 It's coming though...
