BTW  did the color of the handles chnange ?

 

The handles browned a little bit; I greased them, and also I did 3 15-minute rounds in a 500 degree oven. 

 

I'm committed to testing donut recipes for my best friend's teenage baker-entrepreneur, so my theory is to fry the test donuts in this pan (I'm testing for how different fats work, since I'm the only person in his circle with lard in volume . . . anyway). My theory is to fry a whole lot of donuts in this pan over the next month.

 

You sure are right about its beauty.  I'm thrilled. 

 

And -- it isn't as heavy as I feared, either!  Part of my Darto-apprehension was the sense that it didn't save a whole lot of weight; my theory of slowly converting to carbon steel was that as I age my larger cast-iron pans may not be manageable, making the case for good ole' Matfer.  

 

But I'm weak for art, is the truth.  Especially metal art.  And metal art doubles as a tool?  I'm <daid>.
