I avoid specialty kitchen equipment that has only a single function. I make paella a few times a year so I couldn’t justify owning a pan that I’d use infrequently. I use this pan almost daily for pan frying and sheet pan recipes. And, not only is it perfect for paella, it’s great for roasting vegetables, meat, and fish. The pan has a slightly textured bottom that keeps food from becoming saturated with oil, which creates that nice, crispy shell. The pan is heavy and distributes the heat so there are no hot spots so no burned food.
The pan comes two sizes: a big one that holds enough to feed a professional football team, and a smaller one for those of us who cook for a family and an occasional group of friends. Everything is a matter of trade-offs; choose the size that best fits your needs.
The pan is clearly made in France. It’s a really nice design, love the shape and the handles and how they are supposed to be welded. What I didn’t love was the tool marks, dings on the rim, extra metal flash around the weld spots of the handles, and the fact that the product sticker left a residue that just would not wash off. Just a shocking lack of quality control on the little stuff. The easy stuff. The cure for ALL of these defects was sandpaper. Sanded away the dings and the flash with 80 grit. Progressed through a number of finger grits to make the sanding marks go away. Sanded off the sticker goo. Then washed one last time and seasoned.
Have used it a number of times. It has stayed fairly flat after heating on a gas range and on an induction range but not perfectly. The bottom of the the pan is a bit proud on the outside surface, but to an amount that is way thinner than the material of the pan. So I think I will eventually fix that with, yes : sandpaper.
Don’t fear the effort of seasoning. This is a great pan when you take care of it.
So, I have read some posts about how to properly clean and season the pan.
1) I used Barkeepers Friend and Dawn to lightly clean the protective coating off the pan prior to seasoning (worked like a charm). Dry thoroughly and NEVER let the pan air dry!
2) Please watch YouTube Uncle Scott’s Kitchen channel: Matfer Bourgeat Black Steel Pan: Seasoning and Cooking; follow this process and it will turn out perfectly (DO NOT use flaxseed oil!).
After seasoning the pan do not use soap to clean it. Wash the pan with warm water (can scrub with salt if needed) and wipe completely dry. Put pan back on the burner and heat till smoking, turn off heat and rub lightly with oil. Let cool and store.
Easy to use,
Such a bummer because I have their 12 inch fry pan and it has never wobbled.
Complaints about slight blemishes and rust are just silly though. Carbon steel pans are supposed to be seasoned until entirely black and must be dried and oiled after every use to prevent rust. Clearly some buyers are unfamiliar with this.

It is a great pan for a medium sized paella, with nice sloping sides and heavy duty handles.
Perfect.

needless to say, paella was not socarat but will have burnt parts at the bottom. it was not all completely burnt only because we were mindful with the heat.
Very disappointed.
