Babish Carbon Steel Flat Bottom Wok and Stir Fry Pan, 14-Inch

Where to start? I bought this set because I'm a huge fan of Babish, but also because our thrift shop pots and pans mishmash was getting infuriating... None of the lids truly fit any of the pots, the pans had lost their coating long ago and were flaking badly... It was a sorry sight. So I tossed them all away and bought this set. Overall I'm glad I did! I've had em for a month now, so now I'll write my review. Pros: The stainless steel pans are very sturdy, easy to work with, easy to clean, generally come out with excellent results. They've been discolored from heat and use, but white vinegar in the dishwater fixed that, they still look brand new. The baking sheets are great so far. The racks are sturdy and I like the two sizes, they're just right. I've pushed em past their recommend max temp a couple times and they take it like a champ. Been handwashing them only, because I saw the warnings in the reviews lol so I can't speak to what a dishwasher will do to em. The blue steel pans were magical at first, nothing stuck at all! It was like a commercial. The color is beautiful and they're pretty versatile. They distrube heat very well! Cons: Mostly my gripe is with the blue steel pans. These are the most used items, naturally, and therefore so far the most worn. I am disappointed that the magical feeling did not last much more than 2 weeks. I thought some folks were over exaggerating in their reviews, but no, two weeks of regular use and the magic coating starts to wash away. The interior has started to get a bit discolored, and where the discoloration is strongest, so too is the stickage. I've started to lean more towards the saute pan just to avoid using the skillets too much. I've followed all the cleaning instructions to the letter, including the seasoning before use and as needed... And have only used silicone or wooden utensils with them... And yet. Truly that's the only con. Even considering the sad state of the blue steel pans, the whole set together is an excellent price and value, especially compared to other competitors in the market, and I would still recommend it highly. The packaging is gorgeous (if a little excessive) and neatly done. I can tell a lot of love went into designing this set. I look forward to the stainless steel and aluminum pieces lasting me years :)

Great product not only for the price but just in general, heat distribution kicks ass, easy clean up and oven safe get on it!

works as expected. medium weight. Feels very good in the hand. Minor issue: handle is a little bulky around the hanging opening (the hole at the end of the handle), needs a bit of attention

Es la peor sartén que he utilizado en mi vida… se pega todo desde el segundo uso. Pese a haber realizado primer uso con aceite, calentando a baja temperatura, para intentar cuidar la sartén, es un desastre. Horrible.

A good pan, but take care - it's from the burger land, so your existing lids may not fit exactly. That's fine by me though. And there's Mr. Babish himself on the bottom, which was not a welcome surprise.
