I got one fer Christmas! Yay!!

I got an 11" de Buyer carbon steel skillet. ATK sez they are the best
thing since sliced bread and even have a U2B video extolling their
virtues:

While I've successfully seasoned my pan and a lotta food slips/slides
around successfully, eggs still stick and are NOT like a "puck in air
hockey". I suspect that 'browned' seasoned finish takes more than a
few weeks to acquire.

If you can flip foods ina skillet, look for curved sides. Mine has
straight sides and is a little more difficult to flip (not impossible
and not an affectation!).

I keep y'all posted. BTW, I'm having steak fer dinner.
