We’re giving away three beautiful De Buyer Carbon Steel pans to three lucky winners.
Carbon steel pans are essential when it comes to Chinese cooking. Today I’m partnering with De Buyer to give away three beautiful pans to 3 lucky readers of Omnivore’s Cookbook.
Chinese cooking often requires a very hot pan. A carbon steel pan is a great option because (1) it’s a safer choice since it’s made from just metal without any toxic coating. (2) it holds heat well but is lighter than a cast iron pan. I personally prefer a carbon steel pan over a traditional wok because it has a larger contact surface with the stove, which means you’ll be able to heat up your pan better on an electric stove. Plus, when you use a taller carbon steel pan, it functions like a flat-bottomed wok.
A carbon steel pan is low-stick once seasoned, and quite non-stick for most types of food after you’ve used it for a while. It retains heat especially well in a home kitchen where the stove is not as powerful as a commercial stove. If you know how to take care of your pan, it will last forever.
I’m excited to host this giveaway today so it can be your turn to experience a great pan that makes better food in your own kitchen.
About De Buyer
De Buyer is French brand that has made all their pans by hand in Ballom Des Vosges since 1830. Around 200 years ago, De buyer was producing cutlery in a small smithy in Val d’Ajol from metals mined locally. Working with culinary professionals to develop industry knowledge and produce ‘true’ utensils, they aimed to stay ahead of the curve when it came to technical development and are the only manufacturer to work with a range of materials (steel, coated aluminum, stainless steel, copper, etc.) corresponding to the different cooking methods that characterize traditional French cuisine. Through the passage of time, de Buyer has been a constant inovator, from creating the first high pressure cooker to their celebrated perforated tart rings.
More on carbon steel pans
Since I moved to the US, I’ve changed up my cooking habits and have been experimenting with different cookware. After cooking with an electric stove in Austin for three years, now I’m cooking with a weak gas stove in my New York apartment. My De Buyer 12” carbon steel pan has been one of the most important pans in my kitchen because it performs very well with all the different setups that would normally make Chinese cooking more difficult.
Cooking with a carbon steel pan is quite similar to cooking with a cast iron pan, but it’s lighter and easier to handle. Plus, the sloped shape of a carbon steel pan is more suitable for tossing food.
In my previous posts, I explained why a carbon steel pan is perfect for making stir fries, how to season a carbon steel pan, and how to clean and take care of it. Check out these posts if you want to learn more about carbon steel pans.

Beautiful pans! If I won I would definitely make that amazing looking Thai beef salad! Yum 😋 thanks for all the great inspiration 🥰
I use a stainless steel wok but would love carbon steel!
I subscribed!
Thank you for your blog and newsletter. My youngest son loves Chinese stir fry and I am not good at it. Your recipes, tips and product suggestions have helped so much. I use a large Pampered Chef fry pan the most, great pan, not for stir fry though.
I use a 12-inch cast iron skillet the most.
You are ALWAYS my go-to source for Detailed & Well-Explained Authentic Chinese Recipes! Thank you for always doing an Amazing Job!
Long-time Newsletter subscriber (Check!) and Following you and De Buyer on Instagram (PhDFoodie). Also, I use my 11inch non-stick frying pan almost every day.
I use a large cast iron pan the most but it’s not great for stir frying. I recently bought my first Mineral B pan and love it. Next on my wish list is a pan to serve as a wok!
I probably use nonstick pots and skillets most frequently — but definitely intrigued by these!
New to your cookbook blog but very excited to try them out!
I use a Calphalon wok and I hate it. Totally, need/want a carbon steel pan/wok.
I use my 12″ carbon steel wok the most!
I use a cast-iron skillet most of the time!
I use cast iron!
I would love the 9 inch carbon Chef
Its the bomb!
I normally use a Wolfgang Puck frying pan all the time and woulfgsng Puck sauce pan both gifted to myself because I love to cook!
I would love to win the 11″ steel pan you’ve for sweepstakes for. tried to sign up using Pinterest but couldn’t find the link to do so. I gave up after 10 minutes. I follow you on Pinterest and to your site as an e-mail subscriber. I have AAS and BS degrees in engineering but can’t seem to figure out to enter sweepstake. Maybe I am just getting old..
Hi,
I would love one of these pans. I usually use a wok or other fry pans to cook food. I love your recipes. They are all easy to follow the directions.
Thanks for offering this,
Enjoy the day!

I love my All-Cald stainless steel pans but they’re quite heavy! Would love to try a caroban steel pan l, esp since the flame on my stove is also too weak for a traditional wok!
Your steamed eggs recipe remind me of my childhood! My grandmother used to add rehydrated scallops to the dish 😋
Would like to try this as similar to cast iron.
