IKEA Vardagen Carbon Steel Frying Pans - Compare with Cast Iron, Stainless Steel and Matfer Bourgeat

[@NecromancerTO]

I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was actually looking for this kind of video since months. I am interested in IKEA Verdagan iron skillet. I lifted it at an IKEA store and god it was heavy. I am also thinking about buying the carbon steel one after seeing your video.

Heat the pan with oil and let it smoke. Then cool it and get rid of the oil, lower the temp and use new oil and cook. Once you smoke the oil, it will fill in the pores and make it nonstick. You still have to use some oil or butter. Search "how to make any pan nonstick" by Chef Joshyjin

I use cast iron right now, but am curious about the carbon steel. Mainly because of similar performance but lighter weight. Darn - just went to IKEA and didn't notice these pans.

[@LucidProductReviews]

Looks like they just released some new carbon steel models, they still have the same pan in 5 inch form.

Think best pan I use was soviet Duralumin pan it's was heavy used with out seasoning or use limitation it was light and easy to clean.

[@LucidProductReviews]

What's that pan made out of?

[@Mermedon24]

​@@LucidProductReviews Duralumin it's use in plane Al-Cu-Mg alloy. I not sure but that what mom say. I when i use was sure it was cast iron and when watch vidуo where everybody praised it quality, i think yes sound about rigрt bat when i buy new cast iron pan that it was completely different.

Interesting! Thanks for that info!

Wow, 1/4 of the price of Matfer / De Buyer

[@LucidProductReviews]

Now they have upgraded it and the 9" is $29.99 (Article #005.813.29). You might be able to find the ones you see in the video in their As-Is section for much cheaper prices!

I use carbon steel or clad stainless steel depending on what I am cooking.

Thanks for sharing!!

[@JacksonWalter735]

Did ikea discontinue these for the newer models? I can’t find these online anymore

[@LucidProductReviews]

Looks like they just released some new models.

[@olivertwisted]

@@LucidProductReviews Yes. The new ones are much thicker with no pre-coat. Looks much more like a traditional carbon steel pan on par with De Buyer Mineral B.

[@LucidProductReviews]

@@olivertwisted Interesting. Thanks for sharing this!

[@taoh780]

@@olivertwisted been sold out everywhere since December and I can't find it anywhere. Happened to walk in to an ikea today and they still have this pan on clearance.

[@bestfriend4488]

if you still need oil, it is not non stick. is it?

[@LucidProductReviews]

Yes, these require oil and time to get there.

[@Kat888_]

'300 degrees'? Is that 300 degrees as understood by 4.23% of people in the World? Or is it 300 degrees as understood by 95.77 of the World's population? The pans look good value in any case.

[@LucidProductReviews]

300 degrees fahrenheit - thank you.
