Morning everyone, I did do a quick check to see if this has been discussed already but couldn't see anything.

I'd love to get my hands on one of these pans, I've read there not made anymore but is anyone aware of an alternative/copy?

Thanks - Tony

"Carbon steel" is a tautology, steel is by definition a mixture of carbon and iron. What would really make the difference is the info if the pan is cast or pressed or rolled. From the looks of it, it is cast but not sure.

Did you seal like you would a Dutch oven?
The best way to seal, is get it very hot with oil in the pan, and keep the oil evenly covering the pan, almost burning it on. I do this as needed, or at least once a year.

Reduces rust issues and creates a non stick coating that lasts.

The debuyer pans are heavy weight and cheap for what you get.

Highly recommend the pancake pan

Over four pounds and ten ounces in weight.
Don't be ridiculous!
This is supposed to be a bushcraft forum.
Is any idiot going to carry that frying pan out into the bush???
Is somebody receiving commission for this recommendation?

Spun iron pans, and some with removable handles.


Nice, but pricey.

A lot of us take the Dutch Oven or cast iron camping with us. Bushcraft has nothing to do with carrying stuff at all. Quite a few of your posts are a bit blustery.

Have a look at Waylands set-up to get an idea of how some people spend their time camping, it’s not all ultralight survival gear.

Those photos were fantastic. I love the ambiance created by the lanterns in the evening.

I use the pans at home and outside, weight is not an issue for me, I eat my spinach :) but that aside, it was stated they are heavy, and as others said, they don't have any issue carrying cast iron pots, etc, and neither does it bother me. I do not plan on hiking up a mountain, with it, even though I have with a similar set up.

I also love the comical ring the pans make, reminding me of a Tom and Jerry cartoons of youth, with the pan hitting a face :)

So Oxford English Dictionary does not state any rules for how much one can carry while out in the bush crafting it, I presume.
