After my ceramic coating pans lost their non-stick properties after about six months, I had finally given up and decided to use something more durable and learn to cook properly. I had just received my cast iron pan a few days earlier and I was watching a video on how to properly cook a steak from Gordon Ramsay (recorded about 10 years ago). I started to wonder what type of pan he was using, since the cast iron was so unwieldly and really didn't heat up that evenly. That was the start of my pan rabbit hole.
Long story short, I ended up with this one (10") because the handle looked comfortable, the price wasn't too bad in the case that I didn't like it, and I read an online review that said the pan wasn't very good because it was too non-stick right out of the box.
Anyways, yeah, I love this pan. It has totally revitalized my interest in cooking. It has given me so much confidence because I now I can get restaurant quality food at home. This pan heats way faster and way more evenly than cast iron. It also is much lighter weight and easier to manage.
I was really afraid of the pan warping because I have a glass top electric stove, but it really hasn't. Occasionally when the pan gets really, really hot, it might warp ever so slightly, but as it cools it goes back flat. I always preheat it on a lower heat setting, like 2.5 on my stove, then ramp it up after a few minutes to where I want it. And I always use a burner that's larger than the pan, so the entire base is getting heated as evenly as it can.
These pans are also really durable. Due to the seasoning process I thought I was going to have to baby it. But, honestly, I found that it really is fine no matter what you do. And you can always re-season if you have to. For stuck on bits, I used a chainmail scrubber a few times, but noticed some scratching in the seasoning, so I just switched to using some soap with a non-scratch pad if I need to, and the seasoning is fine. My wife even cooked some rice-a-roni in there the other night, which I don't recommend for this, but OK, it's still fine.
Love these pans and carbon steel in general. Wish I learned about these 20 years ago.

A great 10" and 12" skillet pans seems larger for good reason
Merten & Storck carbon steel skillet w/stainless steel handle. UPDATED REVIEW For both 10" and 12" skillet I really like these pans, heavy but not too heavy and seem firmly planted to the stove and the stainless steel handles keep things cool and worth the upgrade. For the seasoning make sure exhaust and room fans are going to blow that smoke out of the house because it can get smokey to build up that natrual non-stick surface but you should never need to buy another pan. There is no chemical non-stick surface, it's all natural and these pans have a larger base cooking area instead of a larger bend for the sides like most pans have leaving a smaller cooking surface. In one pic i show two pans 10" and the 12" in front which seems huge. The 10" has way more cooking area than compable pans I've used. In these pics notice the pre-seasoning wearing off a bit after first cook. It should get lighter as it wears off but then keep seasoning the pan with a clear oil like vegetable oil or beeswax other preferred seasoning to season both inside and outside the pan to build up that natural non-stick finish which should turn blacker as it builds up. My only gripe is, i wish they came with a vented cover for the price. So far so good 👍 UPDATE: I see a lot of complaints about finish look or rusting, this is by people who don't season the pan or clean it properly. To clean the pan, while hot i just use a silicone scraper to remove everything and maybe rinse with water if needed or use a chain scraper if it has any burnt remains left on it. Then heat the pan add seasoning wax or other seasonor to a paper towel and wipe pan down and heat until it begins to smoke a little and pan browns or blackens in color. This is the maintenance required for a life long non-stick pan. Also someone asked for exact dimensions of my 10" pan and so i posted pics of them. 10" skillet pan is 2" high, 8.5" cooking surface, 10.25" edge to edge cross width 12" skillet pan is 2" high, 9.5" cooking surface, 12" exactly edge to edge cross width.

Got ruined after first use
I only used the pan once, after carefully following instructions, but I was left with the burnt pan in the middle as the pan is nnot even. The oil didnt distribute evenly and I assume that why the middle got burned. My stakes also got burned due to uneven surface. One side of the stake was burnt while the other wasnt done properly. After paying this much money I really thought I purchased a brilliant pan, but unfortunatelly not the case :(ErnestaGot ruined after first use
