The Matfer factory coating took some work to remove completely. After that, I tried the oven method with a very thin coat of grapeseed oil. I discovered later that my gas oven is 50+F hotter than indicated which resulted in the pan getting blued. I mean, the bluing was better than a gun barrel. I turned down the oven (measuring it with IR thermometer), and did two 40 minute cycles with complete cooling in between.
Right away, the pan was perfectly non-stick.
Some say the bluing helps the seasoning bond to the pan.
I just wish I saw this before I started. Using IPA (rubbing alcohol) to remove their factory rust preventative coating sounds like a good idea. Will try this on the next Matfer.
Great video. Thanks for posting!
Another good way is simply canola / rapeseed oil. Clean the pan thoroughly with hot water, add 1mm of oil to the bottom of the pan, put on the gas burner - heat until it goes clear and is heavily smoking, and swirl the oil when it starts doing this. Then dump out the oil, wipe and wipe with paper towels until there is a satin sheen, then put back on the burner until it stops smoking - take it off, and let it cool. Done, no prep, and the real key to good seasoning is a lot of heat so the pores of the metal open and the oil bonds into those pores.
Thanks for the tips.
You’re welcome, Ben. Thanks for watching!
I seasoned mine without doing all this. Just took the beeswax coating off and put some grape seed oil and put in the oven. After that I just fried some bacon and I was able to cook eggs after that.
Yeh people overthink this shit too much.
@@koolkat214 People seem to get caught up with these crazy rituals which make no sense. Old wives tales seem to live on forever!😁
me too

Great video
I just got the Matfer and I scrubbed it with an sos pad then a scrub brush for about 5 mins then I put it on my electric glass top stove and turned the burner up all the way and left it on there until it turned blue then I kinda thought it might be some wax left then I cleaned one more time and put it back on the burner and warmed it up and oiled it good and put it in a 475 degree oven for an hour and let it cool overnight. The next day it was beautiful and I friend some bacon first then eggs and NOTHING STUCK and I mean NO THING. That was just after one season. I love the pan so far.
great video.. Yes please do a video on how to clean it !
Just wipe out the pan once it cools down a bit. If there's some stuck on food just bring some water to a light boil in the pan and loosen up all the food bits. Dont go crazy since the seasoning could start to come off. Then you'll have to re-season.
@Jake Nabasny Enjoyed the video. What size is your Matfer pan? Did you have to season the handle of the pan to prevent it from rusting?
Prob late but I don’t season the handle, just keep it dry after washing. Seasoning is really to make it non stick
Oh dude thank you! Just bought my very first Matfer pans and the seasoning instructions were weird. Coating? What coating? So the coating is wax! Got it! I used to clean houses and another good use for rubbing alcohol (70%) is cleaning your fridge, fridge seals. Why? It dries quickly with no residue! Rubbing alcohol also gets out ink stains on fabric. Test first! Rubbing alcohol also removes permanent marker. A lady was mad at where I parked my RV and used a red permanent marker on it! Rubbing alcohol took it off!
Thanks for the smoke detector comment! I will do this outside on another stove because just searing a steak sets of the smoke alarm in my RV!
I bought my pan to make crepes. It is the 10" which is bigger and heavier than I thought it would be.
Oh dude that egg sliding around was a beautiful thing (until you flipped it over, sigh)!
Thank you
I'm going to cook an agg right now!
I just ordered a couple Matfer carbon steel pans, 8.5" and 12". I already have a MadeIn 10" that works well, but I have not had great luck with the non-stick qualities, which I can only attribute to the electic stove in both of the apartments in which I have used it. i am going to try the potato skin method, although I think I will do it over a charcoal grill or perhaps one of the gas grills at the complex. I know how much smoke it produces, and I do not want to set off the smoke detector. Wish me luck!
Do not use this method of using potatoes, oil, and salt for seasoning. It is a waste of time and resources.
This method was used back in the day before seasoning wax. The manufacturer shipped out pans with machine oil to prevent moisture from interacting with the metal until it got to the consumer.
I just got the Matfer and I scrubbed it with an sos pad then a scrub brush for about 5 mins then I put it on my electric glass top stove and turned the burner up all the way and left it on there until it turned blue then I kinda thought it might be some wax left then I cleaned one more time and put it back on the burner and warmed it up and oiled it good and put it in a 475 degree oven for an hour and let it cool overnight. The next day it was beautiful and I friend some bacon first then eggs and NOTHING STUCK and I mean NO THING. That was just after one season. I love the pan so far.
Real world test 👍
What can you do about the sides of the pan getting sticky after frying? I only use a drop of oil and spread it out but I get these sticky edges? I even stripped the whole seasoning off and seasoned again but each time I cook on it I get these sticky sides.
Try going at 'em with a plastic scrubby pad - or a chainmail scrubby.

It looks like a Large Pan with a Small Cooking Surface. Are all Mafter Bourgeat pans like that?
My cast iron 12" skillet has a 10" cooking surface. Any carbon steel pans like that?
Yes the 10" pan is exactly like that.
All carbon steel pans have the sloped walls unlike case iron.
@@Assimilator702 I found that Misen carbon steel do not have the sloped walls like a gold miners pan. They are shaped more like a traditional non stick skillet with shorter walls and a large cooking surface.
@@707SonomaComa Are the Misen pans 3 mm thick?
Hey what brand of salt is that?
MrBigangry Morton coarse kosher salt
I'm pretty sure the potato skin/salt method is only necessary the first time, to remove the factory coating. After that, just put a THIN coating of oil and crank up the heat.
The manufacturer instructions say to do it twice.
Hi, Emma.
I season my carbon steel skillets using the same method
Most tins of seasoning contain some beeswax. I know the pan will not season properly with that wax on it, but if beeswax is so bad why is it in the mixes?
I thought that was my cat meowing
Looks like my cat too!
Somehow matfer is special
I did this and dont think it did diddly
Hi Gary! You're right, the seasoning process might not seem like it does much at first. Your pan definitely will not be nonstick right away. It will take some time to build up the nonstick layer and seasoning the pan when you first get it is just a way to jump start that long process. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll get the results you're hoping for.
you all idiots with stupid like vegans
This man is separated from wife so he chose to make this vid on his weekend so that he wouldnt have to share royalties. Emma was nice touch
At least he got the cat and the baby.
How high heat
When you're seasoning bring it to just when the oil begins to smoke then let it cool.
I scrubbed and scrubbed, but after seasoning it is still shiny :(
After cleaning a factory new pan the Matfer company says to season two times just as the video shows. My Matfer showed some tinting after the first seasoning and a little more after the second. As you use the pan it will continue to add layers of fat polymers and become darker. You only use a mild soap when it's new from the factory to get the protective coating off. After the seasoning process the pan should never be cleaned with any kind of soap ever. Just wipe it out with a paper towel. Chain mail is great for getting off cooked on food bits. The chain mail won't hurt your layers of polymer created by the cooking process. Keep cooking, it will get darker and darker. If you do clean it under hot water be sure to get it hot on the range top to get rid of any moisture. Remember, no soap.
Hilarious 😆
To anybody looking for seasoning tips... this is NOT the way to go. The salt and potato skins DO NOTHING. Clean the beeswax off and wipe oil all over the pan with a cotton rag or paper towel. Heat it up on the stove until the oil starts smoking. Once the pan looks dry or stops smoking, rub on some more oil. Repeat. You can quickly get 10 coats of seasoning on this way pretty quickly and you pan will turn that nice matte black. Or, you can do almost the same thing in the oven if you want to season the entire pan top and bottom all at once.
Glad i found your comment. I'm reseasoning my carbon steel for the first time, and wasn't sure how long it should smoke. Do I take it off the heat when it starts to smoke, or let it stay on the heat until the smoking stops? Because I was following another guy's video, and he said it was essential to cool the pan between every time he put on more oil to smoke again. Also, all of you seem to have gas burnes. I only have an electric stove, will the sides of the pan be warm enough to be dark too, if I leave it on the heat longer? Because for now, the sides are still unseasoned properly, oiled, but not seasoned like the bottom. Hmm, I wonder if I can 'help' it get warmer on the sides using a handhold burner?
The salt and potato skins are meant to help absorb the manufacturer's coating.
overkill, you don’t need that much.
the pores are incredibly tiny and don’t need that.
I love cats …but not while making a tutorial!
