Thanks Angela. I really like those gifts, and it's not even Christmas. -Dennis

Good to see you, and very nice you received gifts, looking forward to knowing how the pan seasons more.

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

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.

[@MyKitchenVlog]

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

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!

[@MyKitchenVlog]

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

Wow! Christmas came early to your house. Very fun to see you excitedly opening the new toys!😂

[@MyKitchenVlog]

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

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

[@MyKitchenVlog]

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

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.

[@MyKitchenVlog]

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

[@50hellkat2]

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.

[@MyKitchenVlog]

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.

[@MyKitchenVlog]

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

[@offthewalla4717]

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!

[@MyKitchenVlog]

Your comment made me laugh. Smart son. -Dennis

[@JordanPhegley]

Thats a great pan, Dennis. Glad to see you doing well! Always appreciate the videos

[@MyKitchenVlog]

Thanks Jordan. The more I use it, the more I appreciate it. -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."

[@MyKitchenVlog]

Thanks Andrew. That gave me a good laugh. Still on track to meet for lunch. Just nibbling a few crackers at the moment. -Dennis

[@Greg-gk2pt]

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.

[@MyKitchenVlog]

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
