How much of a meme are carbon steel pans?

From de buyer's homepage:

>Mineral B Element utensil in heavy quality iron coated with beeswax: organic protective finish against oxidation, facilitates seasoning.

So, carbon steel with a wax finish

The mystery mineral is your dead brain cells dripping out your nose and drying out.

>It's carbon steel, you fucking nonce.
That's not very nice.

NO.

And Again NO!

If it was carbon steel, there is no reason for the company not to mention it. even the greentext you put, doesn't prove it's carbon steel.

You kiddies do realise that not all iron alloys are carbon steel right?

no one should be this lonely to troll this poorly. Call a goddamn friend, or a support line.

Nobody is trolling, you are just upset at having been called out.

"Hurr durr it's carbon steel because I think it should be."

It's obviously NOT carbon steel or stainless steel, other wise the manufacturers would have no qualms in mentioning it as they are both weel used in the food industry.

It's another undisclosed alloy . . .get over it.

It's iron (aka it doesn't contain enough carbon to call it steel) But it's marketed for people looking for a carbon steel pan.

Uh, user, hate to be THAT guy, but there are a lot of different pans.

I won't disagree at the market. but they make a thing about their 'natural mineral' so it obviously has a larger amount of this than carbon(or they would call it carbon steel) and it obviously has more 'mineral' than chromium (otherwise they would call it stainless steel)..
They quite plainly have made an iron alloy which they are not disclosing.

what a lovely, lovely joke

I own carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron enamel, non-stick anpodized, etc...

They all have things they're good at. Just learn to use the correct pan for each application.
