    Perhaps this will help you decide.

    Steak sear on my 12" carbon steel pan when it was new
    That's beautiful!

    How do you clean the carbon steel pans....do you treat them like Cast Iron?

      Yes they are treated like cast iron. I imagine a good de glazing with some hot water would be in order after a sear like that.

          Most times a rinse in hot water (before the pan completely cools) and a quick scrub with a nylon brush does the trick.

          For problems, I pour hot water in a cooled pan and gently "scrub" with a chainmail scrubber. Dry and lightly coat with oil.

            Keep using the Lodge...it will get smoother and smoother over time.

              When coating with oil at the end, do you do it over a hot stove as to prevent the oil from becoming rancid between uses?

                A few years ago, I needed a cast iron Dutch Oven. This was back when I was assistant Scout Master for my sons scout troop. Come to think of it that was quite a few years ago. Anyway, I didn't have money for a really nice one, so I found a Chinese one that was pretty rough. However, it was only $14.00 as I recall, footed, dished lid and all. I took it home and took a 4" random orbit sander to it. Smoothed it up with 60 grit and finally finished it off with 240. Seasoned it and that thing is with me still. Have no idea how many great meals have come out of that el cheapo Dutch Oven.
                With all that said, I am going to order one of the De Buyer units.
