The main advantage of carbon steel pans is their excellent heat conductivity, allowing for even cooking with quick heat-up times, making them ideal for high-heat cooking techniques like searing and stir-frying, while also being relatively lightweight and durable compared to cast iron, making them easier to maneuver and handle; additionally, carbon steel pans develop a natural non-stick surface when properly seasoned, which is considered a healthier alternative to chemical non-stick coatings.
