Trading Teflon for Carbon Steel Pans My Journey So Far!

Does anyone else feel sad and frustrated whenever another Teflon pan loses its nonstick qualities and you have no choice but to throw it out?

I love cast iron, but they don’t work for everything. I finally decided to give carbon steel a try, and I’m glad I did!

In this video, I’ll walk through the entire seasoning process, and talk about how I like to use these pans. I’ll also share some of my struggles because there are a few!

Hey! Thanks for watching!

I'm Paula. I'm a former professional cook and overall eating enthusiast.

I started this channel because I love making dinner and I love eating dinner.. but mostly it's because all I've ever wanted in life is to have my own cooking show. When I didn't get a callback after submitting my tape to Food Network in 2003, I put that dream to rest for a while. Until I clued in, I can do it myself on YouTube!

I love sharing the tips I've learned from professional kitchens and tidbits from my holistic nutrition education. But mostly I just want to show you how to make dinner. (See what I did there?)

My cooking style is simple but flavourful. I cook with a lot of veggies but I'm not vegetarian. For me, a typical dinner is plantforward, budgetfriendly, nonfussy, and really delicious. As a stepmom, I make a lot of familyfriendly comfort food, as well as a lot of simple, realistic dinners for one (or two).
