I just used the pan again to cook an egg for an egg and cheese burrito with one of my homemade tortillas. The egg stuck a little bit, but it came up easily with a nylon spatula. I really like that pan. -Dennis
We have a big plastic 'wrench' that came with our whole-house filters and it still takes BOTH Drew (my husband) and I twisting the damn things to get them loose!
I had one of those plastic wrenches too. I replaced it with a big metal one, but still it was difficult to use. I'm hoping the strap wrench will make it easier. -Dennis
I was really surprised. Clear out of the blue someone asked me to share my Amazon wish list so that he could buy me something. Wow! I love that pan. I will probably never buy another skillet again. Thanks for the comment Mea. -Dennis
Yep you were having entirely too much fun and well understood why. Gorgeous pan that will serve you for decades. The Korean bbq is great as a chicken marinade too, then bake or grill with veg. It is pronounced Matfer Burr-ZHA. Finest cookware I've found.
Thanks Jake. Yeah, stupid fun and loving every minute of it. I'll probably never buy another skillet. And thanks for the pronunciation of the name. -Dennis
FYI retired plumber here perfect wrench for removing the housing, but when you’re putting it back on in my experience, an O-ring is responsible for preventing leakage if that is the case, just lubricate the O-ring with whatever is required and hand tighten tightening any further than that will only cause problems in the future.
Thanks for the advice Mike. I do have some lubricant specifically for that purpose. I'll try to be careful not to tighten it too much when I replace the casing - just enough not to leak is probably good enough. -Dennis
Thanks for commenting on the embroidery. I didn't buy the machine for that purpose, but when I learned what it could to I set about trying to embroider my logo. It works great. -Dennis
Thanks for sharing your excellent taste in cookware Dennis. I hope your surgery recovery will be as full as it can be as sometimes it takes a long time. Thanks for the update.
Thanks for the comment. It's a good pan. It should last a long time. As for the recovery, I haven't given up yet. Yes, you're right, it takes a long time. -Dennis
Welcome back. I have a deBuyer carbon steel skillet. The more you use it, the more nonstick it becomes. Enjoy! Any thoughts about bringing back your lazy man meals? Looking forward to new vids.
Thank you. It took a long time, but I finally learned to appreciate carbon steel pans. The Lazy Man Meals were a convenient way to bring frozen food to work to heat in the microwave. Now that I am retired, it's easier to cook something in the kitchen. -Dennis
Korean BBQ Sauce, medical lubricant, a strap wrench, and a non-stick pan...that ought to confuse Amazon's algorithms. The pan looks great, especially on your induction burner! I love your last line, "Tastes like an egg to me."
Hi Greg. I just did a search for "matfer skillet" on Amazon and it's there. The one I have is the 11-7/8 inch skillet recommended by America's Test Kitchen. Here is the ASIN: B000KENOTK Search for the ASIN and you should go right to it. I hope that helps. -Dennis
Good to see you, and very nice you received gifts, looking forward to knowing how the pan seasons more.

Thanks Angela. I really like those gifts, and it's not even Christmas. -Dennis
Wow! Christmas came early to your house. Very fun to see you excitedly opening the new toys!😂

The embroidery looks amazing on your shirt. Now, I’m a little tempted to get that Janome 9850! I, too, like ATK recommended equipments.

Thanks Andrew. That gave me a good laugh. Still on track to meet for lunch. Just nibbling a few crackers at the moment. -Dennis
Thats a great pan, Dennis. Glad to see you doing well! Always appreciate the videos
Thanks Jordan. The more I use it, the more I appreciate it. -Dennis
I purchased this pan about a year ago. My son took it and said he would season it for me. I haven't seen it since, dang it!
Your comment made me laugh. Smart son. -Dennis
Thanks for the great video .where did you find the updated Matfer Carbon steel pan? I heard about these pans last year, can't find them on Amazon.
