Yeah this is my experience too - My carbon steel pan is fine for cooking eggs if I put a dollop of butter in there - my nonstick pan is fine even without the butter. I love the carbon steel for like 90% of my cooking, but if I'm just making an egg or two the teflon is unbeatable.
- lukevp 6y agoDo you honestly cook eggs without butter or at least some type of fat? My carbon steel will stick certain things if I throw them in when the pan’s not fully heated and completely dry, so I concede that point to you. I don’t cook like this though and It’s not really a recommended cooking style in general to start with a cold pan and no fat. Woks are carbon steel and have eggs cooked on them all the time commercially for fried rice and such.
- mikeyouse 6y agoNah I always have fat in the pan regardless, but it's more that there will occasionally be something that causes egg to stick to the carbon pan which requires a whole process to clean / reseason or whatever when I can just use the teflon without a care in the world and save the carbon for steaks or veggies.
- steef 6y agoI used to really like Teflon, but then I watched a lil documentary on the problems that come from manufacturing the coating. DuPont and 3M poisoned nearly the whole planet. “The Devil We Know” is the title. They just swept the problems under the rug, switched to different chemicals when shit hit the fan, but those chemicals carry the same dangers. It ain’t just the birds in the house that take a hit. It’s in you forever.
