Recommendations for carbon steel skillet
Hey folks, I'm in the market for a good carbon steel skillet. I recognize there's all kinds of options, but curious to hear people's experiences with some bang-for-your-buck picks especially.
Specifically I was looking at OXO's carbon steel pan. If anyone has any thoughts, would appreciate them!

I have a Matfer Bourgeat 12 inch. Keep in mind they are heavy. My SO doesn’t like it because of how heavy it is, but I love using it.
Searching around it seems America's Test Kitchen recommends this as well. If you had to compare to a cast iron skillet, I imagine still much lighter than that right?
It’s like 60% of the weight.
Awesome, yeah heavy, but not too much like a cast iron then. Thanks for clarifying! Probably going to go head with one of these. Would you consider a smaller size or are you especially happy with the 12inch?
12 works for me. I don’t like keeping too many pans, so I just have a 12 inch of most types of pans.
